Yes! Thank you, Elaine for pitching this! I always enjoy behind the scenes for any kind of production. This is also very on-brand with the podcast, since REWORK is basically behind the scenes of 37Signals. Love this episode just as much! 👏🏽 And yes, closets are great podcast studios! Thank you Kimberly for your great work to the podcast!
