THE QUESTIONS
🔍 How Do You Build a Remote Company Culture?
In a world where remote work is becoming the norm, how do you maintain a vibrant and cohesive company culture? Ash discusses the key elements of remote culture, from the importance of clear expectations and communication overkill to fostering social availability and structured relationships. Learn why culture in a remote setting must be intentional and consistently nurtured.
đź’ˇ Should You Fire Your First Developer?
Firing is never easy, especially when it involves your first hire. We dive into a listener's dilemma about whether to let go of their underperforming developer. Ash and Joel explore the importance of clear expectations, the role of effective management, and when it's time to part ways for the good of both the company and the individual.
🔄 What Does Company Culture Really Mean?
What exactly is company culture, and why does it matter? Ash and Joel break down this complex concept into something tangible, comparing culture to oxygen and glue—essential, yet often hard to define.
