I have spent most of my career working remotely, whether on staff or as a freelancer. It's hard for me to imagine working in an office, regularly. For one thing, I'd have to wear shoes. And there's no cat. How could anyone be productive?

I know some people find it hard to work alone, but there are lots of ways to cope with that. In my case, I always have an instant messaging window open. I have conversations with other people (work-related or otherwise) several times a day. And I'm active on social media. I never feel alone. In fact, I feel far more connected than I would in an office, where there's some sense that you have to be compliant with "what the boss says."

It helps to love what you do.

What would you hope to accomplish with your organization?
