We’re pulling back the curtain on how we went from contractors to a self-led W-2 team that runs on Scrum, thrives with a 4-day workweek, and delivers at a seven-figure scale.

Inside this episode:

• Our journey: contractors → W-2 employees → Scrum
• How we made the 4-day workweek sustainable
• What a self-led, client-obsessed culture really looks like
• The biggest lessons (and mistakes) along the way

Top tips:
