How to Make Remote Working Work

Is remote work the future? Or is the office back?! We battle it out over the next two weeks to find the ultimate winner. In the first of a 2-part series, we discuss remote work. Did the pandemic change work life for the better? Is WFT better for productivity? And what impact does working remotely really have on our mental health and well-being? To answer these questions and more, we're joined by two incredible guests. Let's meet Team Remote! Ross Simmonds Ross is CEO at Foundation, a content marketing agency that combines data and creativity to develop and serve ambitious B2B brands. Foundation operates 100% remotely. He is also the host of 'Create like the Greats', our sibling show on the HubSpot Podcast Network.
