Ali says his business takes its whole, mostly remote team on a week-long offsite every three or four months, most recently to Bali with all 14 people; flying everyone in is costly but, for him, worth it for the bonds, ideas and vibes.

00:00:00 — The team offsite in Bali and why Ali pays for in-person time

  • ★★★ About every three or four months Ali's business takes the whole team on an offsite; in the week before this video they all stayed together in an Airbnb in Bali. — 00:00:00
  • ★★ At the Bali offsite the whole team, 14 people with Ali, spent the days on business and quarterly planning and on new products being launched: the Lifestyle Business Academy and a revamp of the Part-Time YouTuber Academy. — 00:00:00 · Part-Time YouTuber Academy
  • ★★ Ali's team is broadly remote, with a handful of people in Hong Kong. — 00:00:29 · Hong Kong
  • ★★★ Ali says a week living together in person builds bonds in a remote team, and the conversations in between often lead to ideas that help the business; flying everyone in costs a decent amount, but he thinks it is totally worth it. — 00:00:29
  • ★★ In Ali's philosophy of a lifestyle business, the business serves the life you want, so he works with people in person even when it costs more: spending money for the vibes is worth it, and he thinks the offsites also pay back in money. — 00:00:58 · lifestyle business
