Business growth. Fractal Boston. Liberal arts. Investment firms.
VibeCamp: awesome.
Fractal Boston: emerging.
Andrew: tired.
Andrew's students: cracked.
Ben shipped this episode almost immediately after recording instead of sitting on it for weeks (or forever!). GOOD JOB BEN.

Does anyone really read show notes? I'm skeptical.
Andrew and Ben get into it.
