Join Ed and Joe as they start a discussion on cash (wow! this certainly as aged since it's first release in 2018) and go into the joys, bumps and bruises along the way growing up in Brooklyn. Ed shares some incredible Brooklyn history with stories of how their days were spent pre-TV and we get a tour through his entrepreneurship journey which he started at around six year of age.

And hey, remote warriors, you can totally conquer customer service too! Just make sure communication is clear and expectations are set from the start.
Remember, even if a customer's being a bit…well, extra, they deserve to be heard.
