At the beginning of our careers, business cards were the staple of business. So was a Rolodex and a phone call. Like bread, milk and eggs, you got a desk, a phone number and a business card and boom, you were in business. With the world moving online in a much bigger way in the past few years, is there still room for old-school tactics? Mike & Blaine will dive into their roots in old tech through to the latest and greatest.

Most of us have had to devise some type of trade or barter in our business careers. It’s a core function of business and sometimes the only way to get something done.
