Episode 3
In this episode Bee interviews Tamara Littleton, founder and CEO of The Social Element. Tamara saw an opportunity to help brands create online communities before social media was a thing. And unlike the swanky offices of the social media giants nowadays, remote working was the only viable option for her bootstrapped business. As the business grew, Tamara focused on giving people choice in how they work – seeing this as a key element in creating a healthy culture.
