In December 2022, just three days before Christmas, our biggest client called and terminated all of their contracts. In that 20-minute phone call, we lost 70% of our revenue.
Each day, our newsfeeds are plastered with articles about giant tech layoffs, but for every one giant business going through cutbacks, there are hundreds of small businesses facing the ripple effects of these events.
So what did we do? How did we bounce back?

Tune in to hear how we handled our own cutbacks, and how we are thinking about moving forward.
