Episode Highlight: “We want to make it this amazing, big, crazy new thing, and I see ‘direct to employer’ being thrown around a lot. It’s not. It’s just, look, there are people who have a problem that you can help, you can solve. Like go find them, make it easy for them to do it and make it easy for you to get paid. When you do that, it works well.”
