After six years of working remotely, three of them from a boat with my family, I’ve learned that remote work isn’t one size fits all. You have to own your version of it. These 10 commandments show how to make remote work actually work: through trust, connection, and balance.

When you take the agenda out of the conversation, real connection begins. What started as a way to stay in touch from a boat became one of the most powerful habits I’ve built - the no-agenda coffee. A simple practice that turned strangers into collaborators and conversations into opportunities.
