    Eggs 352: Adapting to change when growing a tech startup with Josh Little
    Mar 7 2024

    Hey everyone and welcome back to Eggs. Today’s special guest is Josh Little. Josh is the founder of four companies – Maestro, Bloomfire, Qzzr, and most recently Volley – that have collectively been used by hundreds of millions of people and featured by organizations like TechCrunch, Mashable, Entrepreneur, and Forbes. With two successful exits and a third anticipated, he’s currently on a mission to help remote team communication suck less with

    his fourth creation, Volley–a video messaging app. Depending on what circle you run in, you may know Josh better for his pickles, performances, or projects–as he is a 5th generation pickler, a classically trained singer, and a mechanically-minded YouTuber.

    Joining us today for a conversation about bringing the future of work into the present, how to 2x your team’s productivity, and how we can reduce the number of meetings in a business by up to 50% allowing us to meet less and communicate more. Please join us in welcoming to the show, Josh Little.
