Dragging people back to the office won’t fix a broken work culture.
I learned that back in 2013. When two key team members had to relocate.
I faced a decision: lose great people or adapt.
I chose to adapt.
We went remote before it was cool—way before the world was forced to.
Once we had two people working remotely, I thought, Why not hire the best talent, no matter where they are?
We made mistakes. We fumbled a lot. But we figured it out.
We got intentional about how we built culture, trust, and productivity.
And it worked.
Since then, I’ve built three companies—all remote.
If you’re an early-stage entrepreneur wondering how to make remote work work, this episode is for you.
Let me show you how I made remote work not just viable but a massive advantage.
