Honestly this was probably the best podcast I've ever heard. A great story and you guys got out of the way and let Samuels tell it, and then gave your opinions.
The 'A-Team Plan' was classic ;)

We're here, it's just that we're thinking about assembling a "season" of podcasts. The way we like to do them requires a good deal of work.
In the meantime, thanks for the kudos!

Wow... that was a long spam comment. Good podcast though, I like this take on marketing. The company will do well under his leadership I think.

What people dont realise is that green homes and buildings are not only worth more (resale value) but are creating more reveneu as well. Higher occupancy rates paired with higher rental premiums equals more money in VC's pockets.
