Matt Young is the Founder and CEO of Nomadic6, a network of coliving, coworking, and community spaces designed for digital nomads to call home. He is also a founding member of Experienced House, an association of experienced design and community-building leaders. As an advocate for the future of remote and distributed teams, Matt has traveled the globe immersing himself in societies of people building lives of location independence. He and his team launched Nomadic6 while living in Thailand, and he continues his commitment to designing experiences for remote teams to reconnect in exotic places while independently living in some of the world’s most alluring locations. In this episode… As the work environment shifts toward a full-time remote culture, many people yearn for the positive aspects of an onsite workplace, such as socialization and relationship building. So, are there solutions that allow individuals to work remotely, reconnect, and participate in team-building activities? In-person retreats champion collaborations on team projects and reveal work culture for new, onboarding team members. When designing in-person events, such as retreats, the goal is to create a campus experience where you can control the environment and provide a space for guests to thrive mentally and physically. Matt Young recommends using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs — which ensures optimal needs — when designing these experiences. Suggested amenities for guests include comfortable bedding, healthy food and beverage options, and opportunities for activity and fitness. Matt also proposes relaxation-promoting facilities like saunas and jacuzzis. In this episode of Remotely Cultured with Jeanna Barrett, Matt Young, CEO of Nomadic6, discusses the art of creating in-person retreats for remote companies. Matt discusses Nomadic6’s mission and philosophy, how to organize virtual team-building activities for remote teams, the importance of in-person retreats, and building intention meetups to solve problems.
