In this episode of Startup Breakdown we chat about our stunning on air chemistry 😂, Caroline's panic about her ongoing Graphic Design Masters, and in general the need to balance creativity with work. We also chatted about the role of a generalist and curiosity, and how important it is in business, because in actual questions we answered "If you could only hire one marketer tomorrow, what's the single skill you'd refuse to compromise on, and why?"
