We’ve just finished 2nd Nozbe Virtual Reunion and we shared our lessons learned from this event in our new regular bi-weekly podcast No Office. And we published it in this feed as well so you can give it a try and subscribe on https://nooffice.fm/ if you like it. ThePodcast.fm is no longer a regular show like No Office.

I interview Radek to get an answer to one pressing question: why the heck would you move to a big city, if you could live anywhere?

Discussing Netflix CEO’s thoughts on leadership: - building a high talent density workplace - leading by context - removing unnecessary policies (vacation, spending, travel)

Applying Lean methodology from Japanese factories (specifically, the kanban pull system) to managing groceries and other house supplies. Never will you ever run out of toilet paper again!

Should we focus Nozbe marketing on Work From Home? Michael has a frank discussion with Radek about this. Maybe it’s a great idea! Or maybe, it’s too niche and will ruin our marketing.

Let’s gossip about what our competitors are doing… Basecamp 4, HEY? What are they all about? Are they a threat?

Radek has started a job in manufacturing… pro bono manufacturing of face shields for hospitals in Poland. No, really. Over the last few weeks, Radek has been applying what he’d learned about CAD, laser cutting, and lean manufacturing at the Warsaw Hackerspace to set up a face shield production line. In three weeks, they produced over 30 000 face shields.

This episode is a new, experimental format. It’s just Radek calling Michael to chat about work. Like they normally would. Except that it happens to be recorded and published, so you can get a glimpse into how we do it. In this chat, we’re trying to figure out how to institute cultural change at the company, and make Kaizen part of our everyday work and thinking. Also, Radek’s frustrations with UI work, and change of direction for 2020.

Make a huge impact with just 2 hours per day. Discussing Michael’s latest productivity hack and how this simple change allowed him to be way more productive this year.
