  • 88 - Documentation is Vital but Not Fun...Scribe Creates Instant Visual Guides with CEO Jennifer Smith
    May 17 2022

    As remote work continues to explode, we have a variety of tools, and our team members are spread out around timezones, capturing processes and knowledge has never been more important.

    Unfortunately, this aspect of most organizations is either nonexistent or completely lacking. Knowledge is often trapped inside people, buildings, as well as real-time communication channels like messaging and video calls.

    Scribe wants to change that with instant visual guides to create effortless, visual step-by-step how to guides.

    In today’s conversation with CEO Jennifer Smith, we discuss why companies often fail with creating documentation, where Scribe fits in the landscape of today’s tools, how Scribe’s customers use the tools to create amazing, visual how-to guides, and it’s new feature called Pages.

  • 87 - How Tactic is Helping Make Hybrid Work Better with CEO Reid Hiatt
    May 11 2022

    In the short to medium term, many companies are choosing a hybrid work model. Hybrid really is a subset of a Remote First company. That doesn’t mean the office isn’t valuable...it means you need to define the value of the office.

    Reid Hiatt is on the frontlines of helping companies do hybrid right. As a co-founder and CEO of Tactic, his platform provides a smarter way to turn your office into a more flexible workspace. Employers get more visibility into who is coming into the office and how it’s being used. Employees know who is going into the office...it's a win-win solution.

    In this conversation, we cover how hybrid looks across companies, assessing how the office fits into the new workplace, how Tactic can help, and what’s coming next.

  • 86 - Three Key Steps to Move Towards a Remote First Company
    May 3 2022

    Many companies today are still Remote Forced. They didn’t choose to be remote. They had to become remote as of March 2020.

    Moving from Remote Forced to Remote First doesn't happen overnight. The initial steps include chronicling shared culture values, standing up the remote handbook, and focusing on good processes and cadences.

    In this conversation, Taylor Murphy Head of Product & Data at Meltano joins the show. We discuss what it looks like to stand up true Remote First operations, including his experience coming out of GitLab. We also touch on areas like the balance between following playbooks and using good judgement when it comes to collaboration and communication.
