In Episode 66 of the Nomad Summit Podcast, Josh Gould, Group CEO of thebigword, joins Palle Bo and Alexandra to talk about what global companies really want from remote workers.
Josh leads a business working across more than 80 countries with around 15,000 linguists and contractors, so he has seen first-hand what makes someone thrive remotely – and what makes remote work fall apart.
We talk about trust, initiative, cultural differences, managing across time zones, what employers look for in freelancers and remote employees, and why some people simply aren’t suited to working from home.
We also get into AI, entrepreneurship, and how to make yourself the kind of remote professional a global company wants to keep working with.
