Reggie and Vitaly have built Vista Social as a fully remote company and along the way, they’ve learned what actually drives performance, trust, and growth when no one is watching. From enforcing presence in meetings to rejecting multitasking culture, they explain why discipline still matters even in flexible work environments.

The conversation expands beyond work into parenting in the digital age. They talk honestly about raising kids surrounded by social media, why banning technology doesn’t work, and how values, boundaries, and balance matter more than control. They also unpack the realities of business partnerships - why most fail, how equity creates tension, and why choosing a partner is closer to choosing a spouse than hiring an employee.

Vitaly and Reggie break down:

What it really takes to run effective remote teams
Why presence and focus matter more than flexibility
Parenting in a world shaped by TikTok, YouTube, and algorithms
Why most business partnerships fail and how to avoid it
How competition is won through consistent extra effort, not talent
The work ethic lesson behind Kobe Bryant’s legendary mindset

If you’re building remotely, raising kids in a digital world, or trying to stand out in a competitive career, this is your episode.
