Fun > Perfection In today's Founders' Series, Carina reflects on an attitude she picked up growing up that she still holds today. Fun is a priority and it's too often forgotten! Whether it's an early morning ski, a long weekend of backpacking, or taking the kids out in a huge snowstorm, having fun is always the priority, over being perfect. https://lnkd.in/e4Hd9NEu

Bivo is growing...welcome, Caitlin! ?? Caitlin is our shipping and customer service lead.

"Spend 20% of your time on the “other.” This can be anything - going for a run, meeting people at a coffee shop, doing random research online and going to your favorite bookstore."

Sometimes, stepping back and taking a break can lead to the best ideas. Carina shares the full story on why taking time was the best option for her in Founders' Series #5.
