Last week I was invited by the great Maren Deepwell to chat about my experiences with remote working at Reclaim over the last decade, and it was a total blast. As it happens both Maren and I went remote around the same time, so there was no shortage of topics to discuss. What I learned from Maren over the years is how fundamental regular and intentional communication and community building is to a healthy online organization, in fact it may just be that elusive magic dust we were in search of during our conversation. I really enjoyed having the ability to work out so many of the finer details that make remote work work, and even better that it comes in the form of a free and open therapy session masquerading as a podcast episode!
Thanks again to Maren for having me, and if musings about remote work are of interest you might find this an enjoyable listen, but no promises.
Had a lot of fun listening to this and remembering all the crazy antics in the office and online. In some ways you living in Italy and our experiments with presence born out of that prepared us for COVID and the push to online conferences and fully virtual setups in a way where we could do so much differently. What a wild ride and I’m glad to have your friendship and to be able to keep bouncing ideas off each other because that joy in experimentation is something I don’t ever want to lose. #4life
It was kinda of a Timmmmyboy love letter, wasn’t it? #4life
