b'\\n\\nIn this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Vice President of Marketing for Rootstrap, Patrick Ward.\\n\\nRootstrap is a custom software development agency but as Patrick likes to describe it, the technology team behind Masterclass. Masterclass gained help from Rootstrap to aid in making sure their technology can handle its audience and keeping it consistent between devices. Due to Masterclass being a premium service, the need for good technology is higher. Typical clients involve individuals with time sensitive projects or individuals needing ongoing technical advice.\\n\\nPatrick explains that changing the roadmap on a developer will cost the client. This is because compromises did not have to be made as they were able to work on it on their own timeline. Patrick explains he would rather keep his integrity with his clients rather than making more money off them. The work culture of Rootstrap has been able to stay strong and close throughout the pandemic. This was due to the management taking the necessary changes to promote remote work and providing resources to help their employees during this time.
