What are your top 3 remote work tips?

• Have a clear plan for your day, don’t just “start working,” know exactly what needs to get done.
• Value your focus. Remote work can be amazing, but distractions are everywhere. Discipline matters.
• Coffee ☕. I’m serious: Respect the process. Sometimes productivity starts with caffeine and a good Wi-Fi!

What are your top 3 tips for successful remote staffing/outsourcing?

• Communication is everything! Clear expectations save everyone time and frustration.
• Trust your team. Great people do great work when they’re trusted to own it. Micromanagement is never a productivity tool.
• Focus on results, not just activity. It’s not about who looks busy; it’s about who delivers value.

What’s a motto/philosophy you live by?

Anslem: There’s a quote I really like from Timothy Chalamet: “You can be the master of your fate and the captain of your soul, but always remember that life is coming from you and not at you. and that takes time to understand.”

That mindset stuck with me because it reminds me to take ownership of my life, growth, and decisions. We shape our reality more than we realize; it just takes time and discipline to truly understand that.

What do you do to unwind after work?

Anslem: I like taking walks to clear my head and let off steam; it helps me reset after a long day. I also hit the gym, usually in the morning, because starting the day with movement helps me stay sharp and ready for whatever challenges come next. Sometimes the best debugging happens away from the laptop.

What are your hobbies/passions/interests?

Anslem: I used to be a heavy movie watcher, but life got busier. I still make time to watch a really good film. I’m also a big football fan, and yes, I proudly bleed blue! Chelsea⚽till I die! 

I enjoy going to the gym, running, and pretty much any activity that keeps me physically active. Music is also a big one for me 🎵. I love listening to good music, even in languages I don’t understand, because music is not just about understanding words; it’s about how it makes you feel.

Anything else you’d like to share with us today?

Anslem: Keep chasing the dream. Nothing is too small to achieve if you stay consistent and keep showing up. Growth takes time, and success rarely happens overnight. 

Always remember: life is coming from you, not at you. Take ownership, build intentionally, and shape your own reality.
