What if I told you that remote doesn’t always come first?
For the last episode of Season 5 and 2022, I'm sharing the mic with Scott Markovitz, a startup advisor and fellow podcaster with his show Leading from afar. We got to take a break from remote podcasting and we let in-person come first as we recorded this episode in real life in Berlin.
In this episode, we’re talking about the absolute necessity of getting people together in real life, especially for fully remote companies; some ways to build relationships virtually; working from anywhere; the importance of async for the future of remote work.
We also got to share what we feel the year 2022 was like for remote work, and what we see happening in the upcoming year of 2023. Scott went even farther into the future and shared with us his musings on what work will look like in 2024.
Thank you so much for listening! I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and see you next year for Season 6, starting on January 10.

The way to build a solid remote-first work culture is to create a culture that fits the medium rather than forcing the medium to fit the culture.
A lot of companies are trying to take the things they used to do in an in-office culture and put them into a remote work environment. It turns out, that those things don't translate very well into this new medium of working remotely and, ideally, asynchronously.
So today, we have Kapil Kale, Co-Founder and COO of Tremendous and former COO at AngelList, who has built a profitable and sustainable remote work culture at both those companies.
In this episode, we're chatting today about the principles for designing a culture optimized for remote work, the differences between remote and hybrid work in 2016 and 2022 and tapping into the global talent pool through remote hiring.

Today’s episode is a very special one for me because it is my first ever solo episode. So, I wanted to take the time to give you the knowledge and tools you need to really dig deep into the topic of asynchronous work and make the best use of it in your company.
There’s so much more you can do with async work than simply recreating the office online. So, to make your work fully independent and still be able to work with people from all over the world and in any timezone, it is necessary to think about async work as a culture shift within your organization.
Tune in to learn what async work really is, how it’s being used in different organizations, the five principles of async, and the philosophy that will help you better implement it.

In this time of remote work, companies big and small all over the world have been making the switch and becoming either fully or partially remote. However, the systems these companies are using hold them back from success and end up making their people feel undervalued, micromanaged, and burnt out.
But that's not a failure of remote work, that's a failure of business management because recreating the office online is NOT ENOUGH.
Today, we have Morgan Legge, the head of Organizational Change, Holacracy Coach, and much more at Convert, a trailblazing conversion optimization SaaS company.
In this episode, we talked about Convert’s (and many other companies’) solution this: Holacracy, an organizational operating system “made for remote work” that empowers the people closest to the work to make the decisions, removing hierarchical roadblocks to the company’s success, and allowing them to make the most out of asynchronous remote work and communication.

The Digital Economy has brought with it a new reality in which you can now work wherever you are, as long as you have the skills. This has created a lot of opportunities everywhere, but none have the potential to benefit from it as much as refugees, 70% of whom live in countries that have restrictions around their right to work.
To explore the challenges refugees face when seeking work and how remote work can completely change the narrative of employment for refugees, in today’s episode we have Lorraine Charles. She is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Na'amal, a non-profit organization that provides refugees and other vulnerable populations training in marketable skills required in the global labor market and links them to these jobs.
Tune in to learn all about this amazing organization and how you can be a part of changing the lives of refugees worldwide.

We're already in a global labor market, and most people just don't know it yet. Remote work has leveled the playing field, and now to get (and keep) the best talent, companies need to change their old practices and pay their workers the right way. It’s time to pull up the band-aid and make the switch.
Today, we have Sondre Rasch, the Co-founder, and CEO of SafetyWing, a company of over 100 employees hiring entirely remotely from all over the world. Its mission is to build a global social safety net for remote workers and teams.

The rise of Remote Work is transforming the way companies are hiring. Businesses are no longer hiring talent where their headquarters are, they’re hiring talent where the talent is. This creates the need for companies to deliver a globally consistent employee experience, and to equip all of their employees with the optimal workspace at home, wherever they may be.
Today, we are discovering a new Startup for Remote Work: Hofy.
In this episode, I’ll be chatting with Sami Bouremoum, the CEO of Hofy, about this new reality for businesses and employees, what really matters when setting up a home office, dealing with local regulations, and much more.
