In Scandiweb we have an online podcast called Meet an Expert where we invite interesting people or experts in different fields for a friendly conversation.
For this podcast we didn't have to invite anyone as we already have interesting people in our own company! These three men - Scandiweb co-CEO Glebs Vrevskis, Infrastructure Engineer Deniss Rostkovskis, and Office Manager Eduards Lipinskis participated in Ironman in Tallinn this summer! In this video they are sharing the Ironman experience and how did they get there.
