Jem and Justin delve into the ups and downs of running a business, from slow sales to the challenges and rewards of marketing. They share a light-hearted take on the need to "smile through the phone" and the peculiar shift from a private persona to a public, more energetic one when facing the camera. Amidst tales of late-night work sessions and the trials of balancing personal life with business demands, they find solace in the camaraderie of shared experiences and the odd comfort of knowing that perseverance in business often mirrors personal growth narratives.
