Remotely InclinedAre Offices Prisons of the Mind?Admittedly, youâd expect the founder of a company that helps remote teams with payroll and taxes to not like offices. But Sahin Boydas is a little different than most entrepreneurs.

Whether in his native Turkey, to Boston, to Silicon Valley, every single one of his startups is remote. Itâs perhaps no wonder he refers to offices as âprisons of the mind.â In this i...2020-10-1524 min

Many remote entrepreneurs Iâve spoken with say that their choice to be remote was, at least in part, due to the costs of an office. The challenge I have with this statement isnât about its truth. Instead, it ignores the other, very real expenses that pop up when you run a remote business. I want to shine a light on those for two reasons:Â * A lot of bashing around remote work stems from the idea that companies are reap...2020-10-0111 min
