While many CEOs drag employees back to expensive offices, visionary leaders are building the future: fully remote companies that outperform, outcompete, and out-hire their competition.

Ken Taylor helped scale a startup from three people to a multi-million dollar operation, all without ever renting office space. In Working in Slippers, he reveals how most fully remote companies gain lasting advantages over traditional businesses.

With practical examples and stories from his own experience, Taylor demonstrates how remote work enables companies to become more profitable and productive while enhancing employee quality of life and reducing turnover

The book explores the full spectrum of remote work:

Hiring and managing top remote talent
Creating a high-performance remote company culture
Identifying the financial, legal, and operational advantages of remote work
Implementing essential software, management, and operational systems

Whether you're launching a startup, scaling up, or leading enterprise teams, Working in Slippers shows you how to build a more competitive company that works for everyone, everywhere.

Industry Reviews

"At a time when digital convenience is replacing real human connection, Ken is examining the sacred intricacies of work relationships. When it comes to remote work, the depth of our relationships equals our potential."

-Matt Landeau, founder of VRMB, host of The Vacation Rental Show and the Unlocked by Matt Landau podcast

In Working in Slippers, Ken takes on the return-to-office wave and makes the case for why remote work isn't the problem-bad assumptions are. With sharp insights and real-world advice, this book is instantly the definitive guide on how to make remote actually work.

-Nars Krishnamachari, CEO of RueBaRue

"If you're ready to lead with intention, build a thriving culture, and unlock the full potential of remote work, you're in the right place. This book is your guide to building something truly extraordinary-no office required."

-Adam Walker, co-founder and Executive Director of 48in48, and founder and Head of Marketing and Operations for Edgewise Media, from the Foreword
