EP34 – Freedom of Remote WordPress Work with Jon Brown – WPblab

This week on WPblab, Bridget Willard & Jason Tucker speak with Jon Brown about his life as a nomad, being the remote boss and working with remote workers. We also get into travel, dealing with slow wifi, having redundant internet access when abroad and his collection of cellular phone sim cards.

Later in the show, we are joined by Russell Aaron and Made Better Studio to ask some questions live on the air.

    This is like being in a house built by a child using nothing but a hatchet and a picture of a house.

    Played that game from Japan once. It’s so hard to be on the opposite side of the world from clients. :/

    Being in Arizona where we don’t actually observe daylight savings and working with the rest of the distributed team that’s mainly based in the East Coast, is hard enough for me… since we always have to deal with the change of 2 hrs or 3 hrs depending on the time of year…

  15. Rachelle Wise Avatar

    Ohh! @MadeBetter that’s crazy!

  16. Made Better Studio Avatar

    heheh We have enough daylight here we don’t need to save any 😉
