Welcome everyone to this episode of the Conscious Culture podcast with Sarah Riegelhuth, CEO and founder of Grow My Team!
Today, I’m excited to be joined by Sondre Rasch, a Norwegian entrepreneur, living in the San Francisco area, and working on a new global remote health product, Safety Wing. This is something I have dreamed of, so I am so grateful to Sondre for making it, and to be working with him now.
I’m so happy to have Sondre on the podcast to discuss the current problems for remote workers and how we can begin working towards a new model.
“Everything we do in society wants to know where you live and what is your phone number… everything is built around these structures”
Remote work has long moved beyond simply being a trend or a lifestyle. It’s a natural evolution in the way we work and collaborate and a complete and vital redesign with profound positive impact for businesses, teams and society as a whole.
With it comes a work culture revolution that requires putting culture, freedom, trust and conscious behaviour at the core of every business who wants to thrive.
I’m Sarah Riegelhuth, your host, and I’m a serial entrepreneur, investor and expert in growing happy, high-performing remote teams.
Since 2014 I’ve been running all of my businesses remotely and that has deeply changed who I am as a leader.
I’ve gone from micro-managing an unhappy team suffering high turnover and working long hours to moving to the US, traveling roughly six months of the year, loving the sh*t out of my team and being constantly amazed as to what we’re achieving!
Join me as we dive deep into conversations about remote work magic, conscious culture, and the future of work with some of the most inspiring founders and leaders in the remote work space.
Insights, tips, success and failure, innovation.. we share it all. Let’s dive in!
“There are 4.7 billion people online and more and more people are getting remote jobs”
In this episode, Sondre Rasch and Sarah Riegelhuth get into the struggles of digital nomads, rebuilding infrastructure for the new world, and creating new products for remote work and digital nomads
“When we move to the internet, a lot of infrastructure doesn’t work anymore… internet citizens need the same kind of infrastructure that normal people do, and a social safety net is just one of the most important ones”
