Interesting Process

That was a fascinating interview. The process they've been through sounds tough but they've gotten so much from it and the wonderful Outside the lines weekly newsletter may have never been created without this process. The interview really distilled the history of Windhook and the creation of the newsletter into a fun 27 minutes. Thanks Guy, Peggy and Michael.
