We Not Me

The We Not Me podcast is all about how humans connect and get stuff done together, hosted by Dan Hammond and Pia Lee from Squadify. Anyone who is interested in the fascinating groups we call ‘teams’ should love this podcast! We need groups of humans to help navigate the world of opportunities and challenges, but we don’t always work together effectively. This podcast tackles questions such as “What makes a rockstar team?” “How can we work from anywhere?” “What part does connection play in today’s world? “We’ll be interviewing a wide range of people who are working with, in and around teams across the world so we hope that you will hear diverse opinions so that you can inform your own.
