During the podcast episode, we spoke about the inner workings of the business, the fluctuating popularity around the seasonal time of the year, and how Matt and his team prepare for the dramatic increase in demand. We also spoke about burnout, mental health exhaustion, and the pressure to meet certain demands in some industries that Matt has previously experienced in other roles.
