This week I’m happy to share our conversation with Joel Gascoigne. Joel is the Co Founder and CEO of Buffer, the very popular social media scheduling tool used by hundreds of thousands of businesses. Joel and the Buffer team were one of the earliest adopters of full distributed teams, and have become one of the most well respected SAAS companies in the world.
In our wide ranging conversation, we cover the building of the initial product and finding product market fit, building a remote team while travelling, the pro's and cons of being as transparent as they are, and much more!
Joel's journey is an inspiring one, and there are lots of lessons to be learned from the path that Buffer took to success. Joel is incredibly humble, intelligent and honest and it was a pleasure to hear him discuss his business.
