Remote work has long moved beyond simply being a trend or a lifestyle. It’s a natural evolution in the way we work and collaborate and a complete and vital redesign with profound positive impact for businesses, teams and society as a whole. 

With it comes a work culture revolution that requires putting culture, freedom, trust and conscious behaviour at the core of every business who wants to thrive. 

I’m Sarah Riegelhuth, your host, and I’m a serial entrepreneur, investor and expert in growing happy, high-performing remote teams. 

Since 2014 I’ve been running all of my businesses remotely and that has deeply changed who I am as a leader. 

I’ve gone from micro-managing an unhappy team suffering high turnover and working long hours to moving to the US, traveling roughly six months of the year, loving the sh*t out of my team and being constantly amazed as to what we’re achieving!

Join me as we dive deep into conversations about remote work magic, conscious culture, and the future of work with some of the most inspiring founders and leaders in the remote work space. 

Insights, tips, success and failure, innovation.. we share it all. Let’s dive in!

“There are 4.7 billion people online and more and more people are getting remote jobs” 

In this episode, Sondre Rasch and Sarah Riegelhuth get into the struggles of digital nomads, rebuilding infrastructure for the new world, and creating new products for remote work and digital nomads

“When we move to the internet, a lot of infrastructure doesn’t work anymore… internet citizens need the same kind of infrastructure that normal people do, and a social safety net is just one of the most important ones”

On this episode of Conscious Culture, Sarah Riegelhuth and her guest, Sondre Rasch, also discuss:

• The genesis of remote health and Sondre’s company
• Social safety and insurance for remote workers
• The struggles of nomadic living
• Sondre’s vision for the future of his company
• Rebuilding infrastructure of insurance for the modern world
• Rethinking the benefits we actually want and need as remote workers
• Merging work and life
• Internet countries and internet citizens
• Solving shared problems for citizens
• Countries that are currently supporting these internet citizens

“I don’t see a world, 20 years from now, where there isn’t something like a country on the internet”

Welcome everyone to this episode of the Conscious Culture podcast with Sarah Riegelhuth, CEO and founder of Grow My Team! 

Sarah and her guest Zuhairah Scott Washington were connected through Sarah’s partner, Joe, who is participating in a accelerator group for developing keynote presentations with Z. Having heard Zuhairah’s keynote presentation and hearing the similarities with Sarah’s upcoming book, Joe had to make the introduction for the pair to talk all things conscious leadership and conscious culture.

Zuhairah Scott Washington is a tech executive, entrepreneur, and angel investor. She’s lived multiple lives in the industry over the last 15 years, most recently as an executive in high-growth start-ups including Uber and Expedia Group.  

Zuhairah is now working on answering the question: what is missing from the leadership space?

She has the credential of an MBA and works in business, yet, as an African-American woman, brings a different perspective to the traditional learnings about what it means to be a leader. Her keynote is about bringing your humanity to work and leading with human kindness and a full heart, something that is rarely spoken about in a corporate context.

So, how can we embrace over this missed opportunity in corporate culture and our own businesses? Let’s dive in.

-

“I think more and more people are hungry for connection. And not only connection to others on their team, but a deeper connection for what their work means for their life purpose."

In this episode, Zuhairah Scott Washington and Sarah Riegelhuth get into leading with courage and compassion, the validity of our feelings as a leaders, and the next generation demanding more authenticity from their leaders.

As we globally transition from the old world archetype of corporate culture and what leadership is into the new one that is being shepherded, this conversation with Zuhairah is one that will resonate: change and evolution is uncomfortable sometimes. The fear of going into the unknown will show up.

But every time we test the reigns a little bit, we’re choosing expansion and possibility. Thank the fear, and do it anyway.

-

“How do you show up in that way and still succeed in a world that is largely on the evolution, on the journey, of leading in this way?”

-

On this episode of Conscious Culture, Sarah Riegelhuth and her guest Zuhairah Scott Washington also discuss:

• Making space for emotions and bringing our full selves to work
• Not showing weakness as a leader
• Self-awareness versus pushing our emotions down
• Vulnerability and fallibility
• Seeing each other as humans on the journey to do the best work of our lives
• Working from a position of cautiousness 
• What we think we should be compared to what is really in our hearts and minds
• The freedom of the gig economy
• How millennials are driving the change to purpose-led work
• The generational shift in workplace culture
• The changing barriers to self-actualising work
• Living in the top of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
• Self reflection and doing the inner work as a leader
• Awakening to racism globally and awareness of judgement, privilege, bias and the work that needs to be done
• Creating containers for risk and opportunities for our teams
• Being a leader is not a title, and a title does not make you a leader
• Resonating with people and making them feel psychologically safe

-

“We don’t even know the stories we create sometimes. Check me, because I don’t want to write any bullshit. I want to speak our truth as a company, our truth to where we are right now, what we’ve learned, our culture. I want to speak it.”

“Business represents to me that I get to create my life however I want it.”

-

In this episode, Andy Seth and Sarah Riegelhuth get into the game of entrepreneurship, having the final say in creative endeavours, free reign in implementation in our companies, and being intuitively led in business and life.

It’s also a conversation about cultivating intuition and letting our paths come to us through meditation, cooking or eureka moments in the shower. 

Plus, we discover just how similar Andy and Sarah are, from the number of companies they've started to their backgrounds in finance and how that how influenced their world views.

“It’s a little bit like when somebody says, How much sex do you have? And if you average it out, it sounds really good. But the truth is some weeks it’s not good. Some weeks I have it a lot and some weeks it’s kinda dry! I don’t know why that just came out!"

I’m very excited to have my first guest from Europe on the show today: Katrina Jones, a friend of mine through the League of Extraordinary Women, another one of my companies!

We’ve known each other since the League’s early days, and we were lucky enough to have Katrina actually launch the League in the UK. We might one day share this story on the League podcast, but for now let’s get into Katrina’s group of companies under the Kendall Bailey brand, and her journey to becoming a conscious team leader. 

-

Katrina Jones is the founder and director of Kendall Bailey. 

Since founding her first business over seven years ago, Katrina has gone on to build a million-pound group of Property Investment Companies in the UK. She now spends her time mentoring lifestyle entrepreneurs on creating their ideal businesses, giving them the time and financial freedom they desire through property investing.

“It felt like I was in the ocean, and whatever the tide was doing, I was doing. I was getting smashed against the rocks and I was getting dragged in and out, and it might be calm for a minute but I felt like I had no control over any of it. It was those years of learning to swim, and then building a little boat so I could float on top, so the ocean can still do what needs to do, but I’m good.”

I’m super excited today to be joined by one of my best friends, Mike Arzt, who lives here in Colorado where I’m also currently living. Mike was one of the first people I ever met in Denver, having met through an Entrepreneurs’ Organisation event. He’s been a great support to me personally and an inspiring leader in his business The Public Works which has an incredible culture.

I’m so happy to have Mike on the podcast to talk about what makes The Public Works what it is, how he cultivates team culture and how it all began with working at Burton Snowboards and soaking up Jake Burton’s leadership style.

-

“Our lives were redefined by being there, but so were everyone else’s. That wasn't just Jake. That was what Jake created. And to me that’s culture.”

-

-

“We get to just show up, all of it, as we are, and not have to hide and be this way or that way. When we bring our whole selves to work, when we have our crises people are like, You know what? I get it. They don’t see you as the big boss with all the money and you have all the masks on.”

We’re in the thick of it with what I’m calling the ‘C’ word - let’s not dive in too much, but here we are: living through this reality where we all have to work from home, something I’ve been doing for six years. 

My guest on this episode is my friend and fellow Aubrey Marcus FFS-er, Sam Kabert, and he’s been working from home for a while, too!

Let’s dive in to all things remote work with Sam Kabert. 

-

“We’ve been building the cocoon, right now we’re in the cocoon, and we’re going to come out the other side with the transformation.”

-

We want to know that the work we’re doing makes a difference. And it’s part of us, it’s just as important as socialising and working out and spending time with our families.”

Right now we’re in the middle of the coronavirus sweeping the globe and changing how we work and live, and people really need help working it all out.

So I've brought in my guest Ash Bent from Sketch & Etch, Australian leaders in signage and stationary and one of Grow My Team's clients. We’d planned on having a discussion about where Ash is at right now, having recently hired his first remote team member… but let’s throw into the mix the fact that most of us have been forced into remote work right now!

Listen in to hear more about Ash making his first remote hire just a few months before the Covid-19 outbreak and the multiple benefits this set up has brought to him, and how already having a remote role in the company diminished his worries making him feel more prepared to embrace an emergency remote work model.

-

“I think it’s fascinating that one of the biggest fears that people have is how to create culture and community and connection, but it’s not as hard as you think. We underestimate the fact that our generation and in this day and age with social media, we're actually very used to creating connection online.”

-

Remote work has long moved beyond simply being a trend or a lifestyle. It’s a natural evolution in the way we work and collaborate. A complete and vital redesign with profound positive impact for businesses, teams and society as a whole. 

With it comes a work culture revolution that requires putting culture, freedom, trust and conscious behaviour at the core of every business that wants to thrive.

“We’re constantly being challenged to step up and to step into that next phase. And that resistance can be very strong around delegation and letting go, and asking yourself, What if someone's better than me? What if everything I've been trying to do is going to be exposed? And there’s also our ego thinking no one can do this, no one else will be able to do this except me.”

-

In this episode, Ash and Sarah get into the personal process of making a first remote hire and the journey of going from resistance, doubts and ego to relief, excitement, and sheer cultural and business alignment.

-

“The only way for us to grow and expand and scale as leaders and as human beings is to lean into that resistance, find out what it is, and move through it.”

-

On this episode of Conscious Culture, Sarah Riegelhuth and her guest Ash Bent also discuss:

• Entrepreneurs’ Organisation
• Teaching entrepreneurship with Project Gen Z
• How remote work makes us tighten our business systems

“As business owners, we are fucking magic. We created everything around us from scratch, no one else did that. And whatever the outcome of going through this [pandemic], we’ll be stronger for going through it.”

For our inaugural ep, we thought our founder and CEO Sarah Riegelhuth should sit down and record a quick solocast to welcome you to the show, and to remote work, conscious leadership and conscious company cultures. 

Sarah has been working on the podcast since mid-2019, but it’s been on the back burner until recently when we thought, you know what? The world needs this right now.

So here we are, in the midst of the coronavirus spreading the globe, forcing almost everyone into emergency remote working. It’s an extremely interesting time for us at Grow My Team, so let’s dive in!

-

"Whether you're an employer, an entrepreneur, a founder, or a CEO, or whether you're an employee, now you're getting to experience what it's like to work in a team remotely. To experience the fact that culture still exists in a remote context, relationships still exist, closeness exists, friendships develop, friendships evolve. All of it still exists in a remote context."

-

Remote work has long moved beyond simply being a trend or a lifestyle. It’s a natural evolution in the way we work and collaborate. A complete and vital redesign with profound positive impact for businesses, teams and society as a whole. 

With it comes a work culture revolution that requires putting culture, freedom, trust and conscious behaviour at the core of every business that wants to thrive.

-

“The way that we look at work is going to massively change.”

-

As we're moving through unprecedented times and companies are pushed into embracing an emergency remote work model, there's a great need to understand how remote culture works and what being a conscious leader really means. 

In this episode, our host Sarah Riegelhuth gets into lockdown and how that has effected business, pitching in to help our entrepreneurial communities, and how exciting it is to watch the world realise the freedom of working remotely. 

Sarah also talks about her personal experience leading her companies fully remotely, shares basic guidance on how to communicate and connect in a remote context and offers her insights into what conscious culture looks like.

“We’ve never had an office, we’ve always been fully remote, and we have a culture! Wow, surprise!”

On this episode of Conscious Culture, Sarah Riegelhuth also discusses:

• Being intentional
• Having clear values and a mission for your organisation
• Remote work structures
• Attending and hosting online events
• How we want to live and the life we want to offer to our teams
• Working side by side with our team
• How she looks at things as a leader
• Operating from a conscious place

"There is so much we are on the precipice of. There is so much of being and living that we get to choose that, due to always doing things the same way, we haven’t really stepped into fully yet."
