Remote work isn't simply about working from home - it’s about building systems that let people do their best work without constant meetings or interruptions.

In this episode, Mike shares nearly a decade of experience leading asynchronous engineering teams, discussing what separates successful async companies from those that struggle. We explore why trust, written communication, documentation, and intentional collaboration matter far more than online status indicators.

We also discuss hiring for self-direction, onboarding remote employees, balancing autonomy with accountability, and why async work isn't the right fit for everyone.

Whether you're leading a startup, managing a remote engineering team, or hoping to land your next remote job, this episode explores what successful async work actually looks like.
