While the projects themselves are very different, they all have one thing in common:Trust.The m...

A few years ago I probably would’ve felt stressed about the interruption.But standing there watching her run, I had this moment of:this is actually why I built this business.Not to create a perfectly optimised calendar.Not to be constantly available.Not to chase growth at the expense o...
