Summary
Dan and Ian are fresh off of hosting their fourth Dynamite Circle event in Austin, Texas last week.
This year, they decided to do something different, by bringing together their entire remote team from all around the world for a two-day team retreat in Austin following the event.
For anyone with their own remote team who is considering something similar, this episode is for you.
On this week's podcast, they are sharing their reflections from that experience. You'll hear what they learned from that team retreat, the pros and cons of hosting a retreat for your remote team, and much more.
Stick around after the credits for a bonus glimpse into Ian's personal man cave and podcast recording studio.
