During the course of the pandemic, I took some time to find a new workflow that worked better for me to make sure I could stay on top of all of my responsibilities.

I'll be back to my normal weekly schedule of posting new episodes and I can't wait to bring you more content. Thank you for sticking around while I was figuring the new workflow out and I can't wait to bring you more content very soon.

This week I had the chance to sit down and talk to the founder and CEO of Pitchproof and the virtual design conference, Frontrow.
