Short excerpt from a March 2025 YouTube video where Jason Fried describes his approach to running a company: treat colleagues like friends, expect people to work hard, and intentionally build an enjoyable work environment through clear communication and hiring practices. Emphasis is on team dynamics, enjoyment of the workplace, and communicative leadership rather than top-down control.

You don't have to run your company like Jeff Bezos to be incredible. I run our company like, these are my friends, but they're going to go do what they need to do and we're going to have a good time whilst doing it, because I want to enjoy the people I work with. It's more about building the environment that you want to have. It comes back to communication yet again. So when we hire people, the word, the line always goes like, you work hard. Like, that's not a. That's not a question. That's going to happen. You're going to work hard, but you're going to love the space you're in. No one hates working with us.
