Ready to shift gears? Andrew walks you through 5 high-octane insights from the biggest remote work conference ever, in Lisbon. Hit the gas!

Hey, Welcome Back!

Are we asking the wrong questions about remote work?

Tech has focused so much on the ‘where,’ that we’ve forgotten it’s the ‘how’ that matters.

When was the last time you took a hard look at how you work in your day-to-day life? Because remote work isn’t just about leaving the office behind.

🌟 It’s about finding the best way to work.

It’s about discovering the balance that frees you to perform in a way that simply wasn’t possible in a closed office environment. Everyone’s how is different.

Put another way: it’s about building your own workplace infrastructure, wherever you happen to be. Amazing!

I heard this insight in Lisbon, Portugal, at the world’s largest remote work conference. And it was one of several that set me on a path to collect all the great ideas on the future of work.   

It’s episode 37 and I’m bringing you the latest trends, stories and insights from the brightest minds in tech from all over the globe. Straight from the conference!

These are the ideas really driving industry change.

📽️ This Week on Episode 37:

🚗 Enjoy a tale comparing Model Ts with remote work

🗺️ Get the scoop on why companies fixate on where people work

🥳 Hear how intentional togetherness creates an unbeatable team

🥴 Explore channel overload and if the metaverse can fix it

🔮 Discover if you’re the kind of person who can see the future

🔥 A Who’s-Who from the Conference:

👦🏻 Ryan Chartrand, Futurist and Future of Work Pioneer

🧔 Brian Elliott, SVP at Slack and Future of Work Author

🦸 Remote work companies like Automatic, GitLab and Atlassian

🧑🏻 Darren Murph, VP of Workplace Design and Remote Experience

🙋‍♂️ Cristian-Emanuel Anton, Founder MeetinVR

The tech industry is in a state of upheaval.

🚘 Like the early days of the automobile, remote work is an innovation without infrastructure. It’s up to us as remote workers, to embrace the stops and starts - the left forks and right bends.  

There’s a civilization shift in progress, and we’re all just trying to keep the rubber on the road. But as you do – don’t forget that your success matters.

Like the experts, you are shaping the future of work - and we’re here for it.   

Enjoy the episode!

🏁 Keep those wheels spinning,

Andrew
