EP 05: How To Build a High Trust Remote Team as a Founder With Felena Hanson
This week I sit down with Felena Hanson, Founder of Hera Hub, to talk about what founders often get wrong about remote leadership.
We unpack:
– Why trust is not a personality trait, it’s a design decision
– The difference between accountability and control
– How to create connection without micromanaging
– What high-performing remote teams actually need from their founder
One of my favorite takeaways:
High trust doesn’t mean “hands off.”
It means clear expectations, strong communication rhythms, and real ownership.
If you’re building remotely (or thinking about it), this conversation will challenge how you define leadership.
