We may have promised slightly cheerier content this week but unfortunately that is not what you got! We tried but well we couldn't quite manage it. We are British so we talk about the weather a lot. We marvel at our changing social conversations when you get to mid life and we Milly had some very sad news about Milly's lovely dog Milo. We are for sure in the breakdown element of the podcast at the moment.

Also if you are a UK founder if you see a lot of aggressive efficiency advice from the US, you might be wondering how do I implement really good operations that still feel 'UK-friendly' and human-centric? Well, Milly has the answer!
