Show notes
Hear how the founders of Forefathers Group started an agency as partners without having ever met. Still, 5 years later, they have never met face to face, and are still prospering and growing together. We discuss how it happened, their struggles to overcome, and why it's been successful.
They learned:
- how to create great work together, instead of on their own,
- how to setup taxes in a multi-state environment,
- how to take each other's feedback,
- how they matured in their respective work and say 'no' to certain roles,
- how to 'emotionally audit' their clients, and
- how working in person in this digital age is no longer a requirement for building a strong company.
