Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! Today, we’re looking back at some of Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss’ discussions. They cover the Hermes anti-trust allegations, Alex Hormozi’s content creation experiment, and Jeff Bezos’ thoughts on the myth of work/life balance and how it could be harmful to workers and business owners alike.
