Noteworthy quotes from this episode
- “It’s important to make sure that The company that you’re going to spend so much of your time, dedicating so much of your time and your efforts and your energies to help grow, expand, to win, to make sure that those values align with yours.”
- “That diversity, that inclusion that you get from a remote work is it gives you so many more opportunities to bring in folks from all over the world. And so, so there’s an opportunity there to diversify your workforce and think about your mission on a global spectrum, if you will, when you think about hybrid or remote work that you don’t necessarily get when you’re thinking about being in one specific place and having to have people commute in without giving them that opportunity to work from wherever they may be.”
