One of the great things about having Ben on board full time with the Easy Law Training business is that I have someone to collaborate with.
Indeed, we could be turning into the ‘Ben and Tessa show’.
We have done the recordings of talking about stuff sitting on chairs for Landlord Law TV (hopefully the first program will be out soon).
Now we are planning on doing a few webinars together. I’ve been thinking of doing webinars for ages, but it seemed a bit dreary doing it all by myself. But with Ben, its fun.
Watch out for them. But what happened on the blog?
