James and Harry sat on their podcast studio (read: corner sofa) on a lazy Saturday morning sipping a decaff coffee discussing the evolution to the connection economy, factories, jobs, COVID and why multiple income streams are important now and in the future. We also discuss the benefits and drawbacks of biscuits, should you always do what you want, the four hour work week, freelancing, and how we're beginning our long journey down this road.
