To be clear in my position; I used to be at all times a vendor / contractor for Third Door Media, I used to be by no means an worker. I did have a small share within the firm, as a thanks for being with the corporate however I used to be not a managing proprietor or on the employees. I plan on persevering with in that position, with the identical crew I’m working with on the firm, in the identical capability that I have been doing for the previous 18 or so years.
