Podcasts about basecamp ceo jason fried

Get ready to swap everything you know about business-writing for an unconventional approach that actually works.  Basecamp CEO Jason Fried is one of the world's most successful software entrepreneurs. And he's unique for the way he challenges the tenets of Silicon Valley startups.  He's bold like Bezos, but relaxed like Buffett. He cares less about “rising-and-grinding” and more about an honest 40-hour work week. He never white-knuckles his ideas, but shares them freely with the world. As a result, he's transformed how Internet businesses are being built.  And it all starts with — you guessed it — getting his best ideas on the page.  His founder letters stand out (and they're his favorite thing to write). Whenever he announces a new product, he releases a letter that does three things: builds a devoted fanbase, ramps up excitement, and sheds light on the purpose behind his products. And in this episode, you'll learn exactly how he does it.  You'll learn specific business-writing techniques: from storytelling to structure to word choice. You'll learn how to find your flow, make writing easier, and use writing to start doing things in the world.  SPEAKER LINKS:  Website: https://world.hey.com/jason Twitter: https://x.com/jasonfried Medium: https://medium.com/@jasonfried Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B002MQ13PQ WRITE OF PASSAGE:  Want to learn more about the next class Write of Passage?

Steve Paskoff joins Tim to talk about whether it's a good idea for employers to ban discussion of politics in the workplace. Steve is CEO of an Atlanta-based firm called ELI, Inc. That's a company that provides workplace culture training for employers. In this episode, Steve explains how to handle the touchy issue of employees talking about politics and other sensitive topics at work. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Should_We_Ban_Politics_at_Work_auphonic.mp3 Basecamp is a company that makes workplace collaboration software. It enables teams to work together across geography and time zones on robust platforms. I've used it and like it. As successful as the company has been, it only had about 60 employees last month when the CEO and co-founder of the company made a decision that would change things. On April 26th, Basecamp CEO Jason Fried and his cofounder David Hansson published a blog post for employees entitled: “Changes at Basecamp.” In the post, the company's leaders told employees, among other things, that they were going to ban political discussions. I'm paraphrasing here in the name of brevity, but the CEO said that discussions, “related to politics, advocacy, or society at large…are not healthy, and they haven't served us well. And we're done with it at Basecamp.” The post told employees that if the new policy was unacceptable, the company would offer a fair severance package and help them find another job. This led to a backlash within the company that spilled over into the social media universe and earned the company more media coverage than its software ever did. According to reports, management just didn't like what was happening on their own platform and decided to lay down some strict guidelines. The fallout came relatively swiftly.  Within weeks, one-third of the company decided to quit. That's roughly 18 employees who had tweeted on social media that they intend to leave the firm.
