In this episode, I talk with Jason Fried, the Founder & CEO of 37signals (known for Basecamp & Hey!). This episode is a special revisit to one of our earliest shows, a personal favorite that we believe you'll find just as captivating the second time around. In today's context of remote work and the ongoing discussion about how AI affects jobs, our conversation is very relevant. Jason wrote the definitive book on remote work over a decade ago, and his ideas have had a big impact on how we work today. You can connect with Jason on Twitter via @jasonfried, and delve into his business writings here. Don't miss his books "Rework" and "Remote Work" for even more valuable insights. If you've ever aspired to run a stress-free and highly productive business, this episode is a must-listen. During our discussion, we dive into three significant takeaways: 1. Jason's insights into the future of remote work. 2. The critical importance of carving out time in your schedule for creative thinking and deep work. 3. Strategies to safeguard your career from automation and artificial intelligence. Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
