Interview with Jason Fried from 37signals

Jason Fried from 37signals joins me for this interview. 37signals builds Web-based software and service products for small businesses. They're pretty famous in the web2.0 crowd for being easy to use. They are a relatively tiny company - typical of today's best startups, with a small team who are all high-caliber guys. Jason talks about how the company is able to meet deadlines and deliverables even though all 10 employees work remotely. They even have an e-book on how they work online. He also talks about the one investor 37signals has, Jeff Bezos from Amazon.com. I asked Jason quite a lot about their remote working methodology, and I came away pretty impressed.
