Last week Kristina and her business partner Tristen were at a conference in Berlin. They were invited to an industry party by Paul and Mark, the owners of a young, growing European company interested in doing business with them. On the way back to the hotel, the four fast friends decided to stop and eat at a Turkish restaurant before turning in…
