This month, we’re revisiting the standout conversations of the year with our "Best of 2024" series. These re-released episodes feature insightful, thought-provoking, and inspiring moments from our expert guests, diving deep into the future of work, organizational culture, and the tools leaders need to thrive.

This week, we're revisiting Josh's conversation with CEO of Medium, Tony Stubblebine.

In this episode of Great Mondays Radio, Tony discusses the impact that offsite meetings have had on his team. These offsites have given his international, remote team a chance to meet, come together, and build connections. While the company travels to appealing destinations, Medium's employees know they are there to take advantage of the time together. Traveling for offsite meetings is a valuable opportunity to bring the social, energetic aspect of the office to your remote employees. Be sure to check out this week's episode of Great Mondays Radio to hear Tony's best tips and tricks for implementing offsite meetings into your company calendar.
