Overcommunication isn’t the same as micromanagement. When done right, it’s how good teams stay aligned, especially as they grow.

In this episode, Zhenya Rozinskiy talks with Derrick Franco, Director of Engineering at Counterpart, about how clear communication and intentional processes helped them scale a global engineering team from day one.

They cover:

• What most early-stage teams get wrong when scaling
• Why overcommunication isn’t just a remote thing, it’s a leadership tool
• How culture and values can be built before they “exist”
• What changes when you hire across countries and time zones
• Why adaptability matters more than knowing the perfect tool

This is a tactical, real-world conversation about how distributed teams work, and what it takes to make them work well.
