Breakdown of 2020 at MarsBased, month by month, with Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit (CEO)
We have been receiving a lot of feedback about our podcast, and one of the most popular requests has been "why don't you talk about yourselves?".
We've actually been hosting other entrepreneurs, investors and business people in our events for well over eight years, even before we created the company. And for the most part of these years, we had the impostor syndrome of not feeling like we've got a lot to share, so we kept interviewing others, barely ever talking about ourselves outside of the realms of our blog.
Over time, we've published more content, like our employee handbook, or some open source projects, and we've even spoken at an event here, another one there, but we've never wanted to be in the spotlight.
And here we are, almost seven years after creating the company, talking about the wild 2020 we experienced, broken down month by month. Our CEO, Àlex, recorded this in one go after a false start where he recorded himself for well over five minutes in Spanish, when we were supposed to record this in English.
Learn about how we dealt with the pandemic from many angles: team cohesion, mental stability, sales, operations and internal organisation, communications, leadership and strategy in just one hour of Martian cocktail.
