@cmdeal Do you personally believe a remote team is a better solution than a physical one?

I am old school on this, I am a big believer in the importance of face to face interaction ... even in this age of Slack and Whatsapp. That said, having remote teams can really help you scale your operations and is necessary for expanding globally,

Now, his research was limited on interviews with several entrepreneurs, but everyone saw pros and cons to the method they were using.

What I find funny is that in a previous startup, we still used Slack intensively even when sharing an office. It made everyone less distracted since they could check messages on their own time and we wouldn't interrupt like 5 people in the office just to talk to 1 person. It also allows for working from outside the office when needed, if Slack/other internal chat stays the main communication tool. I quite like to have a written log of conversations, it's very good to be able to quote on things that were talked about, instead of having to rely on memory
