Even though it is the Easter long-weekend, you still get a show! Drew and James cover the past week, as well as go on some tangents on devtools and hiring with interviews. They also reveal the new theme music by A Shell In The Pit called "Green Green Grass". Our guest this week is Zeeshan Hayat, Kudolife CEO and Prizm Media CEO. The interview starts at 0:36:38.


Zeeshan Hayat founded Prizm Media over 10 years ago. Prizm Media develops economic marketing initiatives for healthcare and wellness companies looking to position themselves as a fast growth company within their niche. One of the primary goals of Prizm Media is to fight diabetes by making it easier for clients to match with businesses that can help them. This lead Zeeshan to the question: how can we directly help people with diabetes? The primary goal for Zeeshan was to help make people healthier, but also make that challenge much easier. Kudolife was the answer to that question. Kudolife is an app that helps users by helping them track their personal progress and guiding them through evidence-based strategies to stay within a safe, realistic calorie budget and macronutrient target.
