Bryce Adams is the founder of Metorik, a company that is best described as the Swiss Army Knife of WooCommerce. Not only does Bryce know a ton about WooCommerce, but he also bootstrapped an extremely profitable business with himself as the only employee—and managed to do so in a way that didn't sacrifice customer service or the quality of the product. I brought him on the show today to ask him how he did it, what helped him decide where to put his time and money to make his company such a success, and more.

Today I'm bringing you a bit of a shorter episode between full-length shows to give you an update on the eCommerceFuel Job Boards.

In this episode, you'll hear the final update as I share the messy, slightly embarrassing story behind what's going on with our job boards.
