With our ongoing review theme, we are also talking about sometimes refreshing your systems, your products and of course your teams. Introducing our new Resident Chef Andrew Farrell.

Collaboration is important and finding the right people that understand and fit within your vision is amazing. There is a dark side of collaboration though, and this is a tough one because we usually are hesitant to say the word "no" in business when we begin. Collaborating with the right people is a dream, collaborating with the wrong people can be a nightmare.
