Nothing much. Just go viral on LinkedIn asking for the worst marketing ideas imaginable, buy imsorryjess.com, hand-code a website that same night, and forget that Jess isn't in a third world country and does, in fact, have WiFi. Oh… and get cancelled. No biggie.\nJosh gave away Vector's swag to capture leads — shipped one by one from his garage with handwritten notes. No fulfillment center. No pipeline. That’s what we call karma folks.\nIn this episode, Josh and Jess unpack how a spur-of-the-moment mutiny turned into the moment their podcast dynamic spilled onto LinkedIn and beyond — and became a defining moment for the brand.

That's karma for you.\n[09:30] The groveling apology post begging Jess to come back— a.k.a. the one that also got Josh cancelled.\n[10:00] But wait, Josh and Jess are now trade show famous. A total accident that snowballed and became the moment their brand broke through.\n[11:41] PSA — tell your team before LinkedIn's algorithm shows them your apology post first.
