Create a culture of documentation and meetings become the last resort, not the first. RESOURCES Chase Warrington on LinkedIn Doist.com About Abroad Podcast aboutabroad.com QUOTES (edited) “This proximity bias is something that just happens even in the best, well-intentioned companies.” “There's plenty of data to back up the fact that while all these CEOs are worried about remote workers not working, they should probably be more worried about burnout and overwork than they should people not showing up to work.” “Nobody reports having, on average, more than five hours of meetings per week!” “We urge people to get out to disconnect from work. You don't get rewarded for working long hours or being the first or the last one online. We want people to show up fully and disconnect completely.” “We fund people! If you need a co-working space, it's covered. Gym membership? Covered. Activities outside? Learning and education and social groups? Covered.” “There's plenty of research out there from unbiased resources that show that while we're seeing a dip in work-from-home days compared to in the middle of the pandemic, we're still five, six, seven times where we were pre-pandemic.” “There's this whole mentality that remote first means remote only, but everybody that has been in this space for a while believes that not to be the case.” “Incorporating a really strong in-person strategy is becoming a core element of doing remote really well.”

This episode features an interview with Chase Warrington, Head of Remote at Doist, a leading remote-first company.

He has been named a LinkedIn Top Voice for Remote Work, a Global Top 50 Remote Enabler by Remote.com, and is a frequent contributor to the world's top remote-work outlets such as Forbes, BBC, and AP.In this episode, Amanda and Chase dive into remote work; discussing challenges, experience, and what companies get wrong.-------------------“What I would love to see those same leaders do though, is to stop saying you can't build team culture in a remote environment, or you can't collaborate, or we can't do good brainstorming sessions, or have good relationships with our employees, or mentor our team because that is not true. And you're seeing it being done at scale now. Companies with tens of thousands of employees going remote. We're a team of 100 and in 35 different countries, and at one time, we were seen to be one of the big ones that were doing fully remote work. And so, it is being done. And I do think those companies will continue to see an exodus of talent if they don't invest in at least trying to make it work on some level.” – Chase Warrington-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:13): Chase's background*(06:20): Segment: Story Time*(09:43): Chase explains the nuances of remote work*(17:53): Segment: Getting Tactical*(18:17): Problems that Chase is solving in remote work*(22:18): Things companies get wrong about remote work*(27:46): Breaking remote experience into subsets*(30:02): Segment: Ripped From The Headlines*(30:22): Chase's thoughts on back to office mandates*(33:05): Segment: Asking For a Friend-------------------Links:Connect with Chase on LinkedInDo You Need a Head of Remote?

In this episode, Pilar speaks to Chase Warrington, Head of Remote at Doist. Chase shares how he is challenging how remote work is approached at his organisation, and what he has learnt in his new position that can be used to improve the business and its people. You can find the show notes below, and there's a transcript over at https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/podcasts/head-of-remote-doist Chase discusses his new position as Head of Remote and talks about how as a community we can help each other learn and grow, and figure out what is the best way to overcome the challenges remote teams face. 24.36 mins Chase discusses the importance of bringing a team of people from different departments together to socialise and work on a new project, to help overcome feelings of isolation, loneliness, disconnection and disengagement. Working remotely does have its own set of challenges to overcome, not in the way of changing the entire system, more so that we have systems in place to implement when facing these challenges. Having a social calendar can benefit remote work as there can be a time set at the end of each month for people to come together and connect. However there are ways to make these gatherings more impactful. (You can read Chase's article “How to Build Human Connections in an Async Workplace” from Doist's website.) Chase has created a “social crew” to have these gatherings be more structured,create innovative ideas and have a sense of leadership. Having a place where individuals can come together to connect can be beneficial to not only the members involved but to the business as a whole. With these social crews there has to be intention behind the crews and the intention has to come from being connected at work, but not in the sense of being in the same departments. There are other factors that can connect people in the workplace, even when it is remotely. Connecting members from different departments to work on a project each month can help prevent feelings of isolation and disconnection. The most important aspect of the crews is to create this feeling of connection and get members of the business outside of their “bubbles'', to make them get to know each other under a common goal. 45.45 mins Chase hosts the About Abroad podcast separately from his work at Doist, and it's the result of him being an American expat in Spain. During his travels he's met many other expats and digital nomads facing similar challenges to him. So he's created the About Abroad podcast to discuss these various challenges, help other expats, or people travelling outside of their country for the first time. The podcast was originally set up to discuss living, travelling, and working abroad, but as his travels and discussions with people grew, the topic of remote work came into the discussion as well, as many expats do work remotely. There are a multitude of people from around the world who come on to the podcast and tell their own amazing stories, from building a community of nomads, to what it is like living in the South Pole. 42.57 mins As for Twist: Future of Work, this is a video series that promotes the use of various products and services that can help with the future of work. Twist is one of the products that Chase encourages listeners to use (it's part of Doist, of course!)but there are numerous products and services out there that seek to benefit the future of businesses. They have creators behind those products and services as well, and Chase is keen to feature them. Another aspect of this podcast series is to bring in founders of companies and discuss the ethics of the company, why they chose to start their own companies and any personal stories they want to share about the company and product. 51.55 mins Finally, Chase coversthe Estonia E-residency, which gives entrepreneurs and freelancers an opportunity to set up their own business in Estonia, and do business with other EU companies as well. Estonia E -residency does allow individuals to work remotely as an individual can live in another part of the world, for instance in Hungary, but they are seeking to do business in Estonia, they now have the means to accomplish this. Working remotely does have its own set of challenges, however there are advantages to it as well and ways to overcome these challenges. If there are any questions that remote workers, entrepreneurs, and freelancers have regarding remote work there are ways to find the answers to them.You can connect with Chase on LinkedIn, and listen to About Abroad on all podcast apps, or from the show's website.

In today's episode of The Expat Money Show, you will hear my recent interview with my friend Chase Warrington on his podcast called About Abroad. I really loved this episode because we talked about some important things, like travel, mindset, taxes, citizenship, 2nd residencies, my school and so many other things. Back in 2021, Chase Warrington was on my podcast, https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/chase-warrington (episode 157), so if you enjoy our conversation today, go and check out the episode I did with him. HERE'S WHAT CHASE AND I TALKED ABOUT IN DETAIL: Why there is not just one way to do things, and why it's so important to find what's good for you, find your peeps, your tribe and when you do, how it can change your life! Listen in when I talk about the very best thing I have ever done in my life, what that is and how you can be a part of it.

Listen in as I talk about my superpower! Why I am able to do the things I do and why I've accomplished so much in my life. You can have this too! The benefits of having an international family. What does that look like in 2022 and what will life look like in 20 years for my children? Why it's so important for your children to speak multiple languages and how that is even possible for a 5-year-old child to speak English, Spanish and Mandarin fluently with German on the way, that has never stepped foot in a school. The 3 most important ways to recreate the social aspect of a child's life who attends school in a virtual world. How and why I became a freedom fighter and how I help my clients legally reduce their tax bill, using creative strategies and the benefits it has for their net worth and their investments. Chase and I talk about how our entire life is based on experiences, what those experiences have been and if you haven't had great ones yet, why travelling the world can change your life forever! For those of you listening today to my interview on Chase Warrington's podcast or any of my episodes with any of my guests, and you've heard the story of my childhood and how horrible my education was, you may wonder - why am I so confident? Where does his confidence come from… listen to this episode, we talk in detail about how and why this happened, especially at such a young age when things could have gone so horribly wrong. My best tips after working with private clients for years on educating children and the best ways to deal with living overseas.

Imagine you're living in a country where you don't speak the language and you're a single guy…Kevin Koskella discusses meeting a woman and not knowing Portuguese, his story is hilarious! I asked Kris Broholm what the most difficult language for him to learn was? As a polyglot, you wouldn't think he would have any problems, but one, in particular, was really hard for him.

In today's episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, join me and Chase Warrington as we talk about the today and the future of remote work. At a very young age, Chase already knew that he had an unusual fascination for foreign places and cultures. However, he didn't know how to mesh that with his career and work. With progression, Chase learned how to make that fascination his core, which eventually led him to become the head of remote at Doist. Today, Chase talks about Doist and the apps they created, why remote work works, and how remote work champions more than just employees and productivity.Imagine What (More) Remote Work Can DoIf we're in a remote work environment, on a micro-level, there are a lot of positive impacts that are just undeniable. Compared to working in a traditional office, no one needs to commute to remote work. Every day, a commute takes up a significant amount of time and energy from a person. Today, remote companies have also made it customary to employ diverse and global teams. For example, a remote company in America can have employees from Europe, Antarctica, and Asia. That gives an unprecedented chance to those with meager job opportunities in countries with high unemployment rates. If those impacts are scaled on a more global level, imagine what remote work can do for nature and impoverished countries with untapped pools of world-class talents.About Chase Warrington:Chase Warrington is a globally-minded professional with 12 years of remote work experience leading distributed teams from locations across the US, Europe, Asia, and South America. He is also the head of remote at Doist, the creators of Todoist & Twist, and a leading remote-first organization with 100+ employees spread throughout 30+ countries, spanning all time zones.Outline of the episode:[03:58]Chase Warrington – growing up as a third culture kid[06:54] What is Doist?[08:21]The future of what remote work can be[15:38]The micro and macro-level effects of remote work environments[22:32]Chase Warrington – living in Europe and stepping out to a new culture every day[30:38]Everybody has different productivity hours![38:47] Continuing the remote-work nerdism…Resources:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chase-warrington/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dcwarringtonPodcast: https://aboutabroad.com/Blog: https://blog.doist.com/Connect with Tayo Rockson and the As Told By Nomads Podcast on:Personal Website: https://tayorockson.comUYD Management: https://uydmanagement.com/UYD Collective: https://tayorockson.com/uyd-collectiveLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tayorockson Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/TayoRockson See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this episode, Rick and Kaleem visit with Chase Warrington, Head of Remote at Doist. Chase has been employed remotely his entire career, and has worked from twenty different countries. At one point, he even lived in a van!Chase was kind enough to share his insights on remote work as it has evolved throughout his amazing career. He details the concept of "Remote First", and the importance of valuing employees on their merits instead of their physical location. He encourages focusing on exactly what you want out of a remote career. Equally important is to never be afraid to go after it, even if it may seem to be a lateral, or even backwards, financial maneuver. In the old days, we'd call an episode like this "A Real Doozie". We think you'll agree!

For remote employees and digital nomads, organizational abilities can make or break offsite work experience. Without physical supervision, peer pressure, and the experience of walking into the office, even small tasks can seem daunting, and motivation can plummet. How you structure your remote workday has a huge impact on how you spend your day and thus, how much you get done.

In today's episode, I am having a chat with Chase Warrington from Doist, a company that is defaulting to Asynchronous communication. We discussed the benefits of working that way versus the back and forth of real-time work the "normal" office world has been used to.
