How To Stop SELLING and Start SERVING Today!

Writing this in a +36 degree celsius office without AC has got me thinking immensely about why I do this, instead of doing some more meditative work outside in the wind and shade. *Update March 2022: We got an AC unit… First off, because we have the freedom to not work from here, we couldContinue reading “How To Stop SELLING and Start SERVING Today!”

But, you bet your bottom that someone likely said in caveman speak ‘what is Rodi the rodent catcher going to do, now that we eat Mammoth all day!’

Over the eons automation has always served for the most part our best interest.
