Hey everyone,
YouTube finally shipped the much-needed feature—handles—and here goes the one for The Founder’s Foyer: @thefoundersfoyer 👇
Here’s this week’s update about the show
If there’s one phrase we’ve heard over a thousand times in the last two years, it is — remote work. Or say hybrid work. From building and iterating on ideas by pulling out chairs, to virtually looking at each other’s faces on tiles—we’ve done it all. But there’s a whole lot of stuff to think about working with folks across different geographies, time zones, interests. And so many questions to keep us seeking for answers.
Marissa Goldberg is the Founder of Remote Work Prep, a platform that provides services to help teams set up an effective remote work experience. Marissa has been working remotely since 2015 and has managed distributed product team members across 20+ countries.
In this video, Marissa and Aishwarya chat about how every company should prioritize a people-first culture in order to build trust amongst the employees. She shares some real-time examples of how she advised companies to focus on people-first motives.
