"If you start something for the first time, you're gonna make a lot of mistakes–no matter how much you've studied it and how much you've practiced. But, if you expose yourself to it a few times, you build up some of that knowledge, and then you can apply it.."– Rand Fishkin, Founder of SparkToroJoin Rand Fishkin and Ben Schneider as they talk about the issues surrounding hiring talents in-house vs. outsourcing, building a cost-efficient business model, and the secret to building a successful startup with only 2 people.
