Episode description

Can a billion-dollar business be built remotely? You don't need to guess if it can happen. For more than 15 years -- long before coronavirus forced work from home for just about everyone -- Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt) was trailblazing the remote work movement as the founding developer at WordPress. Today, the platform powers approximately 30 percent of the entire internet, and its businesses employ more than 1100 people across 60 countries. In this episode of Where It Happens, Matt discusses the future of work, why a distributed workforce is the most effective way to build a company (if you do it right), how you can manifest serendipity and influence better outcomes.
