How many times did you think to yourself “Well, that 60 min meeting could’ve been a 5 min email!”?
Today's guest is Brett Nowak. Brett is the founder of Liquid & Grit, a product research company for games that creates actionable reports about new game features and industry trends for game developers. Prior to this, Brett spent a big chunk of his career working with different gaming studios.
Today we discuss the zero meeting workplace - a system that’s provided efficiency, flexibility and quality of life to both employers and employees. Brett highlights examples from his own experience implementing this culture in his own team as it has grown to 46 people - showing just what is possible if you just question assumptions.
Much like we did after our last interview with Brett on hiring, we at Rocketship HQ implemented some of these practices as a completely asynchronous team spread across the world.
This is perhaps a peek into what the future holds for workspaces - and there are lessons here for everyone, irrespective of whether you’re remote, in-office or somewhere in between.
