Hath done thy worst With broken bones left Brian accurs'd Thus away, to heal for him Yet all's not lost, here in his stead Rise others to assume the head Of HubSpot for…

Ah, life in a global pandemic. This has been quite the boon for some, like billionaires with massive online businesses; and yeast. For others it’s meant the heartbreak of having to postpone a 500-of-our-closest-friends destination wedding or the upsetting discovery that a close friend has started their own podcast.
