Show Notes
This is the 2nd time we’ve had Athan from July on. If you’re new here, Athan Didaskalou is the Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer of July - a luggage and travel accessory company built for a new generation. We last caught up with Athan just a month before the pandemic started, so this was a nice catch up on everything that happened in between.
