This is Shane Snow's third time on the podcast. And we had a lot to cover. Shane is the author of, "Smartcuts: How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Success." (An incredibly intelligent book.) And he's also the cofounder of "Contently," a content strategy company that helps businesses grow. Shane's taught me a lot about solving problems in unconventional ways. And in this episode he teaches me about the 4 elements that make someone "ideal to work with." See, he's been studying teams. And just wrote a book about it (coming out in June) called "Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart."
