Summary: <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We welcome Team Carthook to the podcast today! Jordan has brought two of his senior team members to discuss the evolution and future evolution of Carthook’s service.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ben Fisher is the co-founder of Carthook and head of product.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rok Knez is Carthook’s lead developer. He usually manages the company office over in Slovenia.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both Ben and Rok were a part of the company since the very beginning. The guys share how they met and how the business has gone from 3 guys hanging out to the large-scale team that is today’s Carthook. We discuss the technical issues that have reared their ugly head the last few months and Ben explains how they coped with this inevitable part of the business.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today the hood is being lifted on Carthook and we will learn about how Jordan and his team interact with each other and their clients.
