51. A Culture that Fits the Medium w/ Kapil Kale, Tremendous

Remote First

The way to build a solid remote-first work culture is to create a culture that fits the medium rather than forcing the medium to fit the culture.

A lot of companies are trying to take the things they used to do in an in-office culture and put them into a remote work environment. It turns out, that those things don't translate very well into this new medium of working remotely and, ideally, asynchronously.

‍So today, we have Kapil Kale, Co-Founder and COO of Tremendous and former COO at AngelList, who has built a profitable and sustainable remote work culture at both those companies.

In this episode, we're chatting today about the principles for designing a culture optimized for remote work, the differences between remote and hybrid work in 2016 and 2022 and tapping into the global talent pool through remote hiring.
