Rob Gronkowski wanted $50,000 for a Facebook post.
We politely declined.
Shortly after, he won the Super Bowl, went to Mexico, and posted a video of he and his friends with their Spikeball set.
Total Cost: $0.

One thing I love about running a remote company is hearing when employees move. Having the option to move & keep your job opens up so many opportunities for the employee. Moving is much easier on the employee, their family members, coworkers, and the company as a whole.

The Spikeball app is badass. Take a look at these pick up games and RSVPs. You post a game on the app, other locals phones buzz telling them of the game, they RSVP, and you all meet up and play. Biggest one we have is has 169 RSVPs… For a pick up game!
