Hey Meron , what’s up ?
Ι liked the idea of a small army . It made me think a lot and this is the direction I going to take this “passion project” that I have under way .
Awesome stuff .
Be healthy and smile .
Ilias, that sounds PERFECT for your project !!!
All is good, many projects on their way, as you know 🙂
Stay sexy!
Another great episode! And thanks for the 90’s flashback! Such a great message in that commercial.
Anyways, I particularly liked the section on rejecting best practices. I think it’s important to take the time to learn from others who have already done what you’re trying to do, but it’s probably even more important to pave your own way. Sure, some things are tried and true and you should probably stick with them to have success, but we also have to allow ourselves some room for creativity so that we don’t limit ourselves.
Also really agree with the idea of a small army. Overall, great tips from this episode!
