Allan chats with Kevin Garber of Ukufu, an app that simplifies content and notes.

Show notes:

• Ukufu is about 2 years old and has mostly been a Hybrid Team that gets together 2x per week
• All of their processes have been setup for a distributed-first configuration
• They plugged in a little bit of in-office interactions to build team rapport
• With COVID and team members moving out of Sydney, they've switched to a fully distributed setup
• They have team members in Dubai, Nepal, Eastern Europe, and other regions
• While they regularly work asynchronously, they add Zoom video calls and face-to-face meetings to nurture relationships
• Their product team practices cowork sessions
• The engineering team tends to work asynchronously more regularly
• Their cowork sessions are 2-hour blocks of time when they leave their cameras and mics on
• Kevin is a big fan of 2nd and 3rd PC screens
• Hire the right people who will thrive in a distributed team
• Younger people and extroverts may not be the best fit
• Quality microphones are underrated
