  • Nourish + Caravan

    I just listened to the Caravan episode.

    Having worked with Jon and Bernardo, I can tell you this episode is the real deal.

    As someone who’s seen Caravan’s culture up close, hearing the two of them articulate it out loud was great. The values they talk about were super inspiring for me as I’m trying to build my own company.
