Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots

Show Notes

Chad and Sami get creative as they discuss the product ideas they would potentially like to develop.

Sami lays out his plan to rejuvenate the queuing system at theme parks, Chad has a bone to pick with his CRM tool, and the pair breakdown why success for a new business is not always as black and white as it might seem.
