About the episode

This episode focuses on how to create workflows, processes, and better operations for teams that collaborate online a lot. We will talk about documentation, automation, workflow management, and the best tips for better productivity. To discuss this, I invited Adam Nathan, Almanac's co-founder and CEO.

About the guest

After spending time at some of the most complex organizations and companies in the world (White House, Apple, Lyft) Adam realized he was spending more time coordinating work than actually doing it. Taking inspiration from how developers worked in Github and designers worked in Figma, he founded Almanac to build a tool to help teams collaborate in documents with structure and transparency.

Adam holds a systems engineering BA from Duke and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

Quotes from the show

Remote work isn't just an option. It's a disruptive technology that is changing work forever. In some of the tension, we see that some companies haven't updated how they work in this new context.

To decrease operational dysfunction, you need more structure, more transparency, and fewer meetings.

Collaboration is a profoundly human exercise. AI can make us more productive, but in the end, coming up with ideas and making decisions or managing complex projects is something done by humans.
