In this excerpt, the speaker discusses the cultural difficulties of running a fully remote, distributed agency. Without a central office, the company faced high employee churn and struggled to establish a consistent work rhythm, which the speaker identifies as a key factor limiting faster growth. To address these issues, the speaker restructured the organization to prioritize internal promotion, aiming to retain staff longer and preserve valuable institutional knowledge about operations and processes.

Chapters

really trying to get our culture on board. We're a distributed company and that has its own inherent challenges. So every single employee we have works remotely in our entire company. And so we have no, we don't have no central office and we had a lot of cultural related issues. We had high churn with employees. We're, you know, constantly letting people go. And that was a huge struggle for us, just trying to find that rhythm. We just never had it. So that, I believe, is one of the biggest reasons we didn't grow faster than we did. We did grow, but it was almost through brute force. And so there just wasn't this, like, harmony in how we work together. And then I've also tried to structure the company in a way to promote from within and just keep people around longer. And that's helped a lot because, you know, institutional knowledge about how we operate and how we work and whatnot is really invaluable long term.
