  3. How using contractors helped him bootstrap his growth.
  4. How his refreshing humility helped him grow Foundr Magazine.
  5. The challenges of being “firm” and holding others accountable when they may not meet expectations.
  6. How to balance giving team members room to grow and avoid mistakes from negatively impacting the business.
