<p>For obvious reasons, most of us are currently working from home, along with teams that are also all remote. Even if you&#8217;ve worked from home before, even if you&#8217;ve done it under tough conditions, this is different. Amir Salihefendić should know. As the founder and CEO of <a href="https://doist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Doist</a> (makers of <a href="https://todoist.com/?utm_source=doist&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=homepage" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Todoist</a> and <a href="https://twistapp.com/?utm_source=doist&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=homepage" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twist</a>), his company has been all-remote since day one. He joined us to share what he&#8217;s learned about working with remote teams, some great advice on how to communicate, hire and onboard, and why this is different, even for his firm.</p>
<h3><span style="color: inherit; font-family: rawline, sans-serif; font-size: 1.75rem;">Quote of the Episode</span></h3>
<blockquote><p>We always try to make general tools that can be used by anybody. I think creating a generic tool is much harder than doing a specific one for a niche, but that&#8217;s something that excites us because we really want to operate on a global level and really have a global impact with the tools that we create.</p></blockquote>
