What can founders tell you?

Happy hump day, Charm City. Hope the end of September has been good to you. 
 
Today, we've got some news from local creative agency Kapowza and its CMO Sean Sutherland, who you might recognize from his "Ask a Marketer" column. Sutherland brought back his live interview series for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. "Between Two Founders," for which Technical.ly has served as a partner, features Sutherland's conversations with local leaders of startups and nonprofits. 
 
The latest episode features Sutherland's new cohost, founder Leon Stanford of creative services firm Digital Empath Studios, in the guest seat. 
 
Those who are interested in being featured can reach out to Sutherland directly via a link in the article below. But as the series gets back in motion, what questions do you want founders to answer in future episodes? 
 
Share your burning queries by responding to this email or sending another to , and stay tuned for a special Baltimore Innovation Week-related announcement tomorrow.
