☕️ (R)emote Expresso #50

☕️ (R)emote Expresso is your weekly dose of creator insights on remote collaboration designed to fuel your day, delivered once a week in your inbox 💌

Hey Remote Rebels and Digital Daydreamers,

Your bookmarks folder is a graveyard. That course you bought? Still at 34% complete.

You're not lazy. You're stuck in consumption mode.

Here's the truth: Knowledge without action is just expensive entertainment.

So this week, we're launching something different. A format that doesn't let you hide behind "I'm still learning."

Welcome to the (R)Challenge. Our first pilot where you stop consuming and start creating, with people who actually get it.

Ready?

🎯 What is the (R)Challenge?

The (R)Challenge is a 3-week collaborative pilot where we build something real together.

The theme: How we work remotely, reinvented.

It's not a course. Not a webinar series. It's a hands-on exploration where we experiment, share what we learn, and ship something tangible.

Think of it as: A creative sprint without burnout. A book club where you write the book. A gym for your ideas.

🚀 How It Works

Kickoff Session (Week 0)
We introduce the theme, vibe-check the group, and co-define our collective goal. No slidedeck. Just real conversation.

Tinker & Build (Weeks 1-3)
You work async on your own pace. We meet for live check-ins to share progress, get feedback, and get unstuck.

• Week 1: Check-in call → Share early experiments

• Week 2: Check-in call → Show your drafts/builds

• Week 3: Closing call → Ship what you created

The rhythm: Async building. Live check-ins. Collective momentum.
The vibe: Safe to be messy. Encouraged to share failures.
The result: Something you can use, share, or ship.

Oh, and it's completely free for this pilot. No catch. Just us testing something new.

💡 Who should join?

This pilot is for you if:

• You're tired of learning without building

• You want feedback from peers, not just gurus

• You're ready to share the messy middle

• You actually want to finish something in 3 weeks

Skip this if:

• You want a course to binge and forget

• You need someone to tell you exactly what to do

• You won't share until it's "perfect"

We're not trying to scale. We're trying to go deep. With the right people. Who are ready to build.

The (R)Challenge is collaborative learning, not top-down training. We'll give you the space to find your answers, with peers asking the same questions.

It's messy. It's real. And it might be exactly what you need.

No hustle. No guilt. Just humans building better ways to work - together, not alone.
