Brandon and Jeremy also reflect on one of the harder lessons of growth: eventually, running a business becomes as much about people, delegation, and responsibility as it is about doing excellent work.\nFor anyone building a business, leading a growing team, or wondering what changes when a small operation starts becoming a real company, this is a candid look at thirteen years of figuring it out as they went.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mrZvQnAfe3SLPjdU8lIwdF-Rb5PuwZI6ejdBbSGQZGk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMTE1/ZTA3ZGRiYjc2YjQ2/MmViMTMzMzMwOGZk/ZWFjYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
