Immature Passions Stunt Growth from Blumer CPAs on Vimeo. Transcript: We’re going to talk about your immature passions. And I got to tell you a story. I love rock and roll documentaries. So I love to watch the story behind these rock and roll bands, right? And how they grow together and how they break apart. Many bands break apart. That’s just very common.

Part 1 Capacity and Limitations from Blumer CPAs on Vimeo. Transcript: This video is a series of a couple of videos on capacity for professional service and creative companies, and I think it’s really important. This video is part one.
