In this episode, we talk about starting a business with your spouse, the challenges of all the multiple hats freelancers have to wear, moving abroad multiple times and working across culture. Our guest is Dominique, co-founder of The Werks and we had so much fun talking! Do you know that feeling when you start something new?
