To wrap up an incredible first season of "Experts Unleashed," Atlassian's Dom Price chats with the show's producer/director and Atlassian Modern Work Coach, Mark Cruth, about their favorite moments from season one. Dom and Mark take turns reflecting on the biggest themes of the season and share some of the most meaningful (and funny) moments from across the different episodes. Walking down memory lane never felt so festive!

In the spirit of tradition, they also discuss the "My User Manual" Play from Atlassian's Team Playbook. It's an exercise designed to help leaders share with their teams and teammates HOW they work. Think of it like this: when you buy a TV, it comes with a User Manual. But when you hire a human, there's no such helpful guidance. Mark takes us through his User Manual and shares why understanding what brings you back to center, especially during the holiday season, is so important.
