Hey, everyone, and welcome to the very first episode of Type A Unhinged.
That's right, Di. We're so excited to finally get this off the ground and be connecting with all of you out there who, like us, might find themselves a tad bit driven.
A tad? That's putting it mildly, Nate. I guess we should probably intro ourselves.
I'm Di, a co-founder here at Type A Unhinged. I dabble in things like photo and video, website UX, CRM, and branding.
And I'm Nate, the other co-founder. My world revolves around things like paid social, link building, PR, PPC, marketplaces, and maybe even a bit of direct mail.
Basically, all the stuff that helps your brand get seen and heard.
Now, you might be wondering, Type A Unhinged, what's that all about?
Well, as you might guess, we're both pretty cool.
Classic Type A personalities. Think ambitious, driven, high energy, Nate, competitiveness, and maybe, just maybe, a slight obsession with efficiency and time.
Agreed. And sometimes, Di, that can feel a little bit, well, unhinged.
We're definitely those planner personalities trying to navigate the chaos of work life and everything in between.
Exactly. And that's the heart of this podcast.
We want to explore the hilarious contradictions of being unhinged.

We'll also bring on guest speakers from various industries.
We plan to dissect which personality type they are in fun and unique ways at the end, too.
And I think the best part is we already have a ton of initial topic ideas that we're really excited to explore.

Think of it as our way of channeling our inner Type A into helping other driven folks succeed.
Exactly.
