Summary
It would be nice if the work we did at home was as clear as the work we do at, well, work. At the office, the number of hours matters. At the office, you have metrics to hit. You have a quantifiable output. You have someone who can tell you–the boss, your customers–whether you’re doing a good job or not.
But at home? With our kids? It’s so much trickier.

| 0:33.4 | I've got my little bookstore here in Bastrop, Texas, called The Paid and Porch. |
| 0:37.3 | And as a small business owner, I try to support other small business owners whenever I can. |
| 0:41.8 | We don't just sell books. |

| 0:51.4 | Everything they send you in a Bespoke post box is from a small business that you |
| 0:55.9 | almost certainly wouldn't have heard of. Otherwise, I was actually just on my farm the other day |
