It's been almost 6 months since there's been an episode of Tools For Tools with Ninja & The Birdman. In this catch-up episode, Tom and Hardee talk about what they've been doing during the pandemic to keep their businesses (and minds) afloat and how those changes have affected them personally. Tom talks about innovations he made at Rise to keep his employees working and Hardee reflects on how to teach a contact sport via video.
