How does a WordPress plugin team spread across China, South Africa, Mexico, Canada, India and the UK stop forgetting meeting links and start feeling like a real team?

Peter Wilkinson, Founder of Divi Engine, walks Karan (Founder of Cosmos) through how his 7-person globally-distributed team built genuine connection in Cosmos — daily scrums, snowball fights mid-meeting, Pong championships, Battleship tournaments, and the kind of casual moments that make people on opposite sides of the planet feel like colleagues, not contractors.

What you'll hear:

- Why a team across 6 continents needed something beyond Appear.in, Jitsi and Zoom

- How proximity chat replaces "where's the meeting link?" with "just walk over"

- Why team games matter when you can't meet in person

- How Divi Engine runs daily scrums (Marketing, Dev, Documentation) in meeting room B

- The honest test — would you explain Cosmos to a friend over a pint? (Peter calls it "a virtual office that looks like Pokemon")

- How a team under 10 people uses every corner of their virtual office
