Uncover the mindset and strategies to
build and grow successful organizations
from the ground up
Running Remote is for ventures of all stripes—companies small and large, one-person operations, mom-and-pop shops, and global mega-corporations.
With the unprecedented rise in remote work due to the pandemic, many businesses have struggled with how to effectively transition to a distributed format.
Meanwhile, companies who had always been remote-first had a unique advantage: a highly scalable set of work processes, a unique communication style, and the proper “async mindset” required to succeed without an office.
This groundbreaking guide shares lessons discovered by those trailblazing entrepreneurs and founders who have figured out how to harness the async mindset and grow their businesses remotely in the most seamless, freeing, and cost-effective ways.
Once you accept and master some fundamental differences, remote work can fuel higher productivity, eliminate time-wasting meetings and treacherous commutes, and strip away the ugly politics that often undermine the most talented employees. It also leads to great cultural inclusivity and richer cultural exchange.
Running Remote is for ventures of all stripes—companies small and large, one-person operations, mom-and-pop shops, and global mega-corporations. The teachings herein are as valuable for on-premises organizations as they are for the tech worker.

Do you want to find out the real secret to building a remote or hybrid company?
Over the last 2.5 years remote work has completely changed work forever. As Marc Andreessen said at the beginning of the pandemic, “Remote work is a permanent Civilization shift, more important than the Internet itself.”
In March 2020, only 4% of the US workforce was working remotely, but by February, 45% of the US workforce joined them. This is the biggest shift in work since the Industrial Revolution but the last 2.5 years have left many people wondering: “How do you actually make remote work work?”
Thankfully, Liam Martin and Rob Rawson researched dozens of remote companies, leaders, and experts to recognize what everyone got wrong about remote work during the pandemic. Namely, that remote work isn’t about whether you use Slack or Microsoft Teams but how you manage workers using what we call the Async Mindset.
What is Asynchronous Management and why is it the answer to remote work?
There has been a management philosophy that remote companies understood a decade before the pandemic to run remote companies on autopilot to scales that the classic office based company couldn’t come close to.
These remote pioneers built companies with thousands of employees in dozens of different countries and the counterintuitive secret they discovered that you’re about to figure out in this book is that synchronous work which has been the bedrock of how to run successful remote companies was completely forgotten when the world went remote. This book will be your playbook on how to easily build a seamless async team so you and your employees can be less stressed, overwhelmed and burdened with not knowing how to manage a remote team.
