We’re back with iSubdivide’s Rebecca and Alfie Cardamone, the dream team who can practically find land and develop it to perfection in their sleep! In this episode they share how they work together day in and day out without getting in each others’ hair, and still retire to the same home together happily at the end of the day. They also give us some insight into why the typical excuses need not apply, the lessons they’ve learnt over the years, and exactly how they met— which is not the way you’d expect!
