Episode notes

Liam: "Being part of a community with another 200 people was extremely motivating and one could even say, ever so slightly intimidating at times" Jason: "There is safety in numbers. And if you could offload the vetting and the quoting, those two things of vendors, that's like having an estate manager." Kelly: "You're going to have to sacrifice and there's going to be sacrifices in your personal life, family, career, whatever"
