Business owners often censor themselves. The thought of not reflecting what their business represents. Scared of putting people off from your services and making those initial conversations. Almost a year down the line, Jacob Ham (Founder of AlderHam) noticed that he hadn't shared anything about himself. His business was nothing more than a few social profiles and a website. This resulted in his business having no personality. In this very first episode, he tries to make amends and how a global pandemic changed his thoughts on being transparent as a director.
