Episode 26 welcomes Howard Lerman, Yext Co-founder and former CEO and current Roam CEO, to the show. 

This conversation covers a lot of ground within the framework of the future of work. Everything from the thinking behind the name “Roam”, to why “hub” offices make little sense in today’s world, to what Howard believes is required for Roam to scale.
