Working Without Borders

How an asynchronous remote team is different from a remote team where everyone has 100% time zone overlap? What are the advantages and pitfalls? In a team organized around not being interrupted, who responds when there's something urgent? These and other questions were the subject of our conversation with Brenna Loury, Head of Marketing at Doist (maker of Todoist and Twist).
