#42 Remote Work is the Way! | Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob. May 16, 2025.

In this week’s extended Stoppage Time episode, we dive into reflections and fresh takeaways from my fascinating conversation with Scottish entrepreneur Chris Herd — the founder of Firstbase, which was recently acquired by AppDirect after raising millions in venture capital from top-tier firms like Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz.Joining us from his hometown of Aberdeen, Chris shares powerful insights on the future of remote work, building entrepreneurial ecosystems beyond Silicon Valley, and what it really means for a founder to exit a company. We also take a surprising historical turn, uncovering Scotland’s deep and often overlooked influence on the industrial and modern economic world.This is more than just a conversation about startups and remote work — it's a thoughtful, personal, and at times philosophical journey through leadership, legacy, and the evolution of work over the next 50 years.If you're into entrepreneurship, remote-first thinking, or just love hearing from passionate, grounded leaders who think big — this one’s for you.So sit back, press play, and stay with me through the full episode — you’ll be glad you did. See you every Friday, right here, for more Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob.
