Crowdfunding is no small thing, and it was a pleasure to speak to my good friends Ryan Crawford and Dominic Lawe about their beautiful football card game, Next Goal Wins. Check out their Kickstarter page here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obgames/next-goal-wins

We spoke about:

Validating their product idea

Testing and prototyping

Knowing when to stay the course or change

Female representation in the game

If you want to get some great insight on how to take a product from idea to something real, and then fundraising for it based on a prototype, this is the podcast for you.

They are almost at their funding goal with a few days to go, so if you're interested in games, football or this as a gift, check out their Kickstarter page above!

How are you getting on working remotely? It’s definitely got its highs and its lows. That's why we’re delighted to be talking to Asia Lindsay, a Remote Work expert.

After working for TED as their in-house linguist, Asia worked for 3 years at Toptal, the world’s largest fully remote company. In that time she visited something insane like 90+ countries, all whilst working remotely and never technically having “a home”. Asia now works on events and community at Google for Startups Campus London and she is also the Director of Community and Communication at The COVID Tracking Project (https://covidtracking.com/) , a fully remote volunteer initiative incubated by The Atlantic.

She’s here to talk about building remote teams that work together and executing on fine-tuned projects.
