Market Update with John Balmer

Josh is in Europe, involved with some race or something. Whatever. Which means that Hottie andFat Fatty get to pick the topic for the episode. And that means fewer big words and more talk about a topic Hottie and Fatty have wanted to dig into since episode 1 of Marginal Gains: the process of creating and refining products at Silca. Joining them is John Balmer, who just happens to be the head of product at Silca. If you've ever wondered where Silca product ideas come from, how they're developed, and even what products have been left on the cutting room floor, you won't want to miss this episode.
