Episode description

Today's episode is a follow-up to one I did back in June about the eCommerceFuel Job Boards. It's been a while since I launched that project, and I wanted to share some updates to document the journey so you can get a behind-the-scenes look at the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to launching something from scratch. Listen in to hear what went well, what didn't go so well, how things are going with the budget, and some key stats of the business so far.
