They have interviewed many entrepreneurs over the years, but they have always wanted to document the story of a business. This episode follows the creation of a SaaS product called <a href="https://splitly.com/" target="_blank">Splitly</a>: the people who started it, and those who later became involved in its evolution. You'll hear firsthand accounts from <a href="https://splitly.com/author/james/" target="_blank">James Andrews</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/mercer_greg" target="_blank">Greg Mercer</a> and Andy Brown. It's a story of what is possible when you put yourself among people who can not only inspire and support you, but also hold you accountable. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gpywIDTgXfRoz49Ha5QbIGlDsdRlfP0U-nnWJ81dOwA/edit">Transcript</a> Listen to this week's show and learn: Why James decided that he needed to leave London.
