Liam Martin: Operate Your Job

“The spontaneity and the collaboration effect are definitely more prevalent inside of the asynchronous on-premise environment. However, do I want to give up all of that deep work for that type of spontaneity? Because a lot of the time spontaneity is a distraction in another... You call it spontaneity. I call it a distraction. I call it, okay, this is the seventh time someone's walked into my office today, and I actually just really need to get this email sequence written as an example. And I can't actually get it done because I've had these spontaneous conversations throughout my workday. So a lot of these times they can end up looking like distractions when a lot of people call them collaboration and spontaneity. So I'm not quite clear actually on where that's going to go. But I have seen this happen a lot inside of the corporate world where people just get into meetings because that's the flow of what they should be doing. But the reality is that you could actually, as you said, turn a lot of those meetings into an email.” -Liam Martin

In this episode of Control the Room, I had the pleasure of speaking with Liam Marin about his experience building conferences and software for Remote Work advocates.  He shares why he builds products and services that are defined by the concept of giving workers the flexibility to work wherever they want, whenever they want.  Later, Liam offers tips on how to manage Remote Work with asynchronous communication.  We then discuss connection vs. free work, ideas vs. execution, and management vs leadership.   Listen in for Remote Work trends and predictions.
