Join us for our guest speaker series kick off on Tuesday, January 19th with "a lover of remote work culture."

Kate Kendall, CEO of CloudPeeps - a newly-launched marketplace that connects businesses with remote community managers.

Kate will share her background and experience working remotely and managing a remote team. How do you start working remotely? What are some of the challenges remote freelancers and entrepreneurs face everyday? How do you build a cohesive culture across geography within your team and how do you keep everyone feeling connected?

More generally, we will hear about how the concept of remote work are changing our society and some of its biggest misconceptions.
