Summary
Chris Savage is the Co-Founder and CEO of Wistia, a leading video hosting platform that gives marketers everything they need to get bigger results from their videos and podcasts.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Remember that all of us are complex human beings sitting at home. Just because we are not in-person anymore doesn't mean that we don't care who we're working with and how the work is done. You have to build systems that allow you to hear from your people.
2. A lot of communication and understanding with how people are doing happens when in person. These are really simple things but are unbelievably hard when remote if you don't have systems for them.
3. In a world where work and life are so blended, it is really important that people will come to wherever they are working and feel like what they're doing at work matters.
