I run the book discovery website Shepherd.com and am working to build something unique and feed everyone's curiosity.
If I can be of any help, feel free to hit me up. You can contact me at bwbbwbREMOVE@gmail.com (or Twitter at @bwb).
I've got a lot of experience running remote companies. The largest was 135+ people over 18 countries doing software, dev-ops, and heavy customer service. I am also happy to help if you are having issues with a business partner - I've been through some intense situations and learned a lot.
Thanks, Ben

Does anyone have contacts for someone there who can help?
