How to Build Culture in a Virtual Team

Do you ever feel like you are completely maxed out? Where every second of your day is accounted for? You’re putting in a minimum of 10 hours per day, but still feel like you only chipped away a fraction of your to-do list? You know you need help, but the thought of hiring an employee seems like more work than it’s worth. Many of us feel this way. It’s that growing pains before your realize how to successfully scale your business. In this episode I talk to Jess Ostroff, founder of Don’t Panic Management, a virtual agency based in New York. She shares how she successfully implemented a virtual contractor model, grew her team to 15, and found more balance in her life. We also talk about how she has built and maintained company culture despite her team being spread throughout the country.
