    In this episode I had the opportunity to sit down with my co-founders at Help LLC. 15+ months into our journey, we wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on everything we've done and look forward to continuing the business. The third episode of this podcast was a recording with the team at Help LLC. A company I co-founded alongside four of my friends in June of 2019. As a tribute to the company's belated one year anniversary and a celebration of the progress + growth made, we decided to hop on another call and discuss everything we did as a company. From the early stages to where we were in November and the progress to come. It's always a great time with the guys but more importantly, I hope you extract as much value from this conversation as possible. We talked about what it's like to be a teen entrepreneur, the biggest lessons we've learned working with the company, how we generated our idea, and the resources we recommend for other companies. My focal takeaway from the conversation was the culmination of lightheartedness and productivity, two things that lead to our company culture.
