Ep 159: "Reimagining Remote Work, from Aberdeen Scotland" with Chris Herd
Manage episode 482928579 series 2396802
What if the next big startup hub isn’t in the United States — but in Scotland? Are there lessons to be learned in how to build entrepreneurial ecosystems anywhere, that can be culled from this old, small Port City in far northeastern Scotland. Rob sits down with one of the earliest leaders in “Remote Work” enablement, and arguably one of Scotland’s top Entrepreneurial Thinkers, Chris Herd, founder of Firstbase. They explore how a nation known for its deep history, and prior dominance in traditional industries like Shipping and Oil and Gas, might just be on the edge of a modern entrepreneurial breakthrough. From the future of remote work to the cultural mindset shifts needed for innovation, Chris shares bold insights on what it will take to turn Scotland into a global hotspot for startups and the lessons others can take from their story. Whether you're a founder, dreamer, ecosystem builder or just curious about what fuels great innovation — this one’s for you.
