Welcome to Remote, a new series hosted by Ryan Drawdy, Director of Culture and People Ops at Sweet Fish Media, which has been a fully remote team for the entirety of its existence. In this series, Ryan distills some of the most important discoveries he's made as a Director of Culture at a remote company and shares them with you. For those of you a bit newer to the distributed game, this series can save you a few months—or even years—of trial and error. Episode 1 is all about how your team can create their own remote experience. They don't need you to do it.
