Great interview Avdi! Running a distributed consulting company myself, a lot of these topics really resonated with me. In particular, I really enjoyed the discussion on
– hiring, “breaking in” new hires
– accountability
– building trust with clients you never see
– adapting your tools/processes to other team members
Glad you liked it! Interested in being interviewed yourself?
