Greetings Entreprenerds!

My guests this week are Dave and Ted from Nerdarchy, a multiplatform content creator focused on Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop roleplaying games. They have over 3,300 videos on YouTube with advice, guides, reviews and other D&D related content. They also provide content through Patreon, blog posts, Nerdarchy merchandise, adventures and supplements, and last year fully funded their first Kickstarter for Out of the Box: Encounters for 5th Edition.
