You’ve got to choose a headquarters for where you’re set up.” And he said, “Listen, anything that we would say, wouldn’t be the truth. The first time in the history of the SCC where they said, “Hey, you know, you’ve got to choose a headquarters. I don’t know if you know the recent IPO Coinbase last week, right? $140 billion IPO, biggest IPO of 2021. And more importantly, and I’ll put it on your podcast first, I believe in the next five years, more than 50% of all hyper-growth companies, that IPO will be remote companies. And the reality is that remote work does work, actually, for ev eryone at scale. It was, I mean, fundamentally it was a cottage industry, right? So we had a thousand people at our last event for Running Remote, and from a virtual perspective this last year, we’ve had over 20,000 people that have attended. The biggest one to me at least is everyone thought that remote work wouldn’t work. I think that when this is all over, we’re going to recognize that, yes, it was a horrible pandemic, but there were some positives that came out of it. I’m hopeful that I can have a successful Christmas here, but you know, as of right now, it’s all up in the air.Īndrew Powell: So I’m sorry to hear about all of those challenges, but what an exciting time to be in the business of remote work. I know that in-when we’re recording this, the US is doing fantastically well on their vaccine distribution, but we’re not doing as well here, and we got a little bit of the Brazilian variant and a little bit of the Indian variant now is here, so we’re kind of just in it for the long haul. There’s no restaurants, you know, that’s like I can go to a grocery store and that’s about it.
So I moved to this really nice COVID house and I can’t use it because we’re locked inside. I feel-I actually-I do believe that, probably, in another life I would have been an artist, but I need those types of people around me to give me the out of box thinking that I need to be able to do the type of work that I do in my job. So I bought a COVID house here, and I-for those of you that don’t know Montreal, I live in a place called the Plateau, which has the highest concentration of artists per square foot in North America, so I really like to be in very like organically creative environments. It’s just that you can’t travel, but you usually travel. You live in Montreal, right? It isn’t like you’re stuck there. I have to ask you about that answer, because it was a little weird. Liam Martin: I’ve been doing this for 15 years, so stuff’s been kind of crazy, and I’ve been doing a lot of 12-hour days.Īndrew Powell: All right, Liam. And then I’m also the core organizer of Running Remote, which is the largest conference on building and scaling remote teams, which ironically wasn’t remote until COVID, and then we pivoted to remote and, you know, it’s kind of like a meta meta type of deal, but that’s been going okay as well over the last year, obviously, even more activity in remote in the last 15 months than there’s been in the last 15 years. I spent about six months traveling remotely, and I am the co-founder of a couple of technology companies: and, which are tools that enable time-tracking for remote work. I’m a human on planet earth, more specifically, I’m currently in Montreal, Canada right now, because of COVID, and I’ve been stuck in the same place for the past year and a half. Can you start just by telling us a little bit about who you are? So please welcome Liam Martin and enjoy.Īndrew Powell: So Liam, I’m really excited to have you with us today. His Running Remote conference is coming up on May 21st, and you can go to to check that out. Liam is passionate about empowering workers to work wherever they want and whenever they want.
