| 0:00.0 | Hello, Wine Embers, my name is Jesse Meekham and this is podcast number 236 for Wyanab. |
| 0:15.0 | We teach you four rules to help you stop living paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt, |
| 0:20.1 | and save more money. I want to give a little bit of an insider look inside. Why now? |
| 0:28.0 | To the team. We are hiring for, we're working on hiring two new designers UI ux focus a visual designer |
| 0:36.8 | referral program manager and someone that can help us with outreach and getting the WANAB word out there to the masses. |
| 0:47.8 | So we're hiring a lot and every time I say I don't want to hire, we hire four more people. Right now the team is about I think |
| 0:55.1 | 41 maybe 40 and made up of part-time full-time folks lots of support people lots of |
| 1:01.2 | teachers just trying to do our part to get everyone budgeting effectively |
| 1:05.9 | and efficiently and what's it like to work at Wyanam? Everyone's remote. Three of us |
| 1:11.7 | do actually work out of a little Wineb house in Utah, but you know we could work remote if we wanted to. |

| 1:40.1 | But, oh, you know, I'm kidding. I wasn't saying it's a hassle. It is, but I'm kidding. We'll set up just for you in your state where you live |
| 1:47.6 | It's a fantastic place to work if you are self-driven, if you like autonomy, if you like creativity, and if you're |
| 1:57.4 | okay with working with a bunch of people that are frankly super friendly. |
| 2:02.2 | If that makes you uncomfortable, I don't think why not |
| 2:04.7 | would be the place for you? I think you'd want to go somewhere else. We avoid |
| 2:08.2 | politics, we keep things simple, we shoot straight, we talk about being confidently humble about being able to communicate effectively. |
| 2:17.0 | We go quickly to video chat and live chat instead of email where things can take forever because of our time zone differences. |
| 2:24.2 | So there's a lot about the remote work that we really work on. |
