Distributed teams, extreme transparency and buying out your investors

On this episode Ryan is joined by Joel Gascoigne, CEO of Buffer, a simple tool manage all your social media accounts. We've been avid users, big fans, and paying customers for years. In this episode Ryan and Joel talk about... * Joel's roundabout journey from the UK to the US via Hong Kong and Israel. * What it's like to manage an 85-person completely distributed team. * Buffer's extreme transparency and how that endears the company to its customers. * Why (in a very unorthodox move) Buffer bought out their investors last year. Of course, Joel also talks about some of his favorite products as well. We’ll be back next week so be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
