Your personal relationship can affect your work performance, especially if you operate a business with your significant other.

Our.Love might be a startup, but Tal is no stranger to entrepreneurship.

But when the covid pandemic happened, he walked away from his last highly successful venture.

In this episode, Tal gives a candid account of how his previously failed relationships led him to start Our.Love. He also shares how he and his team used Figma, a no-code user interface software design tool, to design and deploy the Our.Love app. You’ll get a 2-for-1 in this episode – discover how to not only improve your relationship but also how to take your software or app concept from idea to pitch-ready.
