[WARNING: there are some chewing sounds from Adam’s weekly challenge from 54:45 - 55:27 and 56:27 - 56:45] Adam and Jordan are back with episode two of First Time For Everything!

(3:10) Jamie then explains how she ended up striking out on her own (11:22) and then her and Adam wax poetic about office supplies and furniture. (16:25) Adam then questions whether Jamie ever wanted to hire other people and work collaboratively, or if she wanted to be a one-person show.
