Episode two: The pros and cons of remote work, how to communicate with employees scattered across the globe, and how to involve your team and build company culture when you've never met face-to-face.

And we interview folks at our design firm Lemonly, which has hired remote workers since the beginning as well. // Music by BLiSS — http://soundcloud.com/blissed-1 — Sioux Falls’ own Corey Gerlach, as well as the bands Broke for Free and Patrick Lee, and Domestica: domesticanebraska.bandcamp.com. // For episode three, we're gathering stories about beer at work.
