Summary

Episode 77: Alex (@businessbarista) is talking about how to best manage a remote team & build a culture that isn’t dependent on meetings. His guest today is Sam Corcos (@SamCorcos) the cofounder & CEO of Levels, a healthtech company focused on metabolic health using continuous glucose monitors. At Levels, Sam has built a fully remote team with a culture that is defined by very few meetings and a ton of documentation so that information can be shared asynchronously across the org. If you are someone that is trying to build a great remote work culture or get rid of unnecessary meetings on your calendar (which is basically all of us), this episode is for you. Send us an email and let us know what you think of the idea!
