Remotely Interested

I've starting Upwork more and more and I think it would be interesting to include interviews with freelancers who are mainly earning from Upwork (and similar sites)

You should interview the Maker of the Year, @mubashariqbal

This is a great idea. Despite the opportunities a remote workforce offers for both companies and employees, there is a lot of apprehension in the industry to embrace remote-friendly cultures. I field regular requests to learn more about how I make remote work for me and my employer. Hopefully, more transparency will encourage companies (and proponents within those companies) to embrace a distributed team.

Great name! As a remote worker I'm keen to see more interviews. I'm growingly increasingly concerned that remote work takes away from the human aspect of work. I'm so incredibly productive while working remotely, it's addictive. But, as soon as someone else decides to come work with me I'm finding myself frustrated by their presence. I wonder what impact this will have on future management if I'm to re-enter into the office world.

Really a good idea, and the first interview was well done. I'm wondering if there are going to be more stories like Ben who built his own site/service (Ekko) or more general freelancers. If it focuses on people who float from project to project without their own product/service I feel like the idea could get stale. Or maybe as a remote person running my company it just wouldn't interest me as much.
