This week we’re excited to share our conversation with Jason Fried. As many of you know already, Jason is the Co-Founder of Basecamp – one of the world’s leading software applications for communication and team productivity. He is also the co-author of "Rework", "Getting Real", "Remote" and most recently "It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work".

Jason is a brilliant communicator and was a pleasure to talk to. We dive into things like his decision making process, the state of tech as an industry, downsides of remote work and much, much more. One of the things I believe attracts people to Jason’s work is that he is honest, straightforward and clearly very knowledgeable. As a result, he’s got a refreshingly original take on most things. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Please make sure you follow Jason on Twitter at @jasonfried and check out his writing on the Basecamp Blog: Signal vs Noise. Also, check out their latest book – Shapeup, which is (in typical Basecamp fashion), available online for free. Find it here.
