While Mark is off on his big family trip to Australia, everything falls apart at Upmarket Media. Well, not really, but it just feels that way. In this episode, Reed and pinch-hitting co-host, Producer Chelsea, detail life without COO Mark. They get into just the logistical problems that happen as they have to pick up all the tasks that Mark normally does, but they detail how that has actually benefitted the company. That's all well and good, but, ultimately, they'll be happy when Mark is back!In the end, they make it through the episode and with just enough energy left to dish out a couple of Action Items!
