Virtual Business

#03: Slack is the glue that holds your remote team together. And just like real glue, it can either work miracles or be a total sticky mess! We've done it both ways, and in this episode we share the key elements of our Slack setup that make it an easy to understand & operate machine (even with over 50 channels and counting).

We've seen this done wrong in so many businesses, so please listen in before your team goes back to email and text messages!
