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.
