    David describes the differences in what kind of people principals should hire during the early stage of their creative firm’s development when it’s all about “what we can afford,” the middle stage when it’s about “what we need,” and then the later days of an agency when it’s about “what we can learn.”

Great insights, fun stories

This podcast has great business insights from the hosts’ years of experience with the fiddle caddie of the business world. I love the little stories they tell and the lessons they share from them. I’d recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to learn more about the realities of service businesses, and especially to “enginerds” like myself.

Two creative, professionals worth listening to

Entrepreneurs, creatives, problem solvers. Both Blair and David have written multiple books. a few of which I own, and they are very insightful. Their podcast covers many topics that they both touch on in their books and explore many creative, expert problems as business owners. Well worth listening to.
