This week's episode of The SaaS Revolution Show is live from SaaStock Remote 2020. David Heinemeier Hansson, founder of Basecamp and Hey.com, talks to Christoph Janz about hustle culture in SaaS.

“Rest is for the weak”, “Rise and grind”, “You’ll sleep when you're dead”. Guess what, folks, this is what we call Toxic Work Culture. DHH is famous for advocating for a calm office culture. It’s only natural to be worried for the future of your business, but there’s better ways to steer the ship than with an iron fist. DHH is here to answer your critical questions on how to manage your business through a time of unprecedented anxiety, without the BS.

This extra-special episode of The SaaS Revolution Show comes straight from the online stage at SaaStock Remote.

Join Mathilde Collin, CEO and co-founder of Front, in conversation with Alyssa Newcomb, technology reporter for Today.com and NBC News, as they discuss designing for quiet in product and in business.

There's a huge amount of 'noise' in our working lives: emails, slack notifications, calendar reminders, social media alerts... With companies across the world working remotely, we've turned that digital volume up to 11 as we double down on team communication. But this always-on, noisy culture kills focus, eats away at our mental health, and ultimately prevents us from doing our most impactful work. As the background digital noise increases, what can we do - as product owners, as founders and as leaders - to help our users, our teams, and ultimately ourselves find some quiet again?
