Move #53: Who To Choose?

Also, I like to point out that once we hire our staff we can do multitasking for staff. This means that we can do two steps at once.
 
#2 is chosen and I'll do some welcome training for Landon Lyans.

You can feel free to post what we can do next based on Move #51 while we wait for the welcome training to finish.
 
Finished doing training for Landon Lyans and Zoe Quinn is researching better user experience.

I'll pause until you decide what to do with Landon Lyans.
