Send us a textIn 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! More about us: Remotely One’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/remotelyone Remotely One’s Webpage: https://www.remotelyone.com/
