Thank you to this episode’s sponsor, FreshBooks 

Another Fresh Book Report by Scott and Twyla and today they’re doing Simon Sinek’s Infinite Game. They break down their own understanding of the book. What is this Infinite Game? How do we win? Or do we even need to win? This episode bridges the book’s concepts and our hosts’ personal experiences and their own Infinite Games.
