Brenna Loury on embracing an async remote culture at Doist
How an asynchronous remote team is different from a remote team where everyone has 100% time zone overlap? What are the advantages and pitfalls? In a team organized around not being interrupted, who responds when there's something urgent? These and other questions were the subject of our conversation with Brenna Loury, Head of Marketing at Doist (maker of Todoist and Twist). Doist is one of the first fully async remote teams, and they mean it -- Twist was built to support an interruption-free culture. Don't miss this episode.
