🎙️ In this episode, we spoke with Li-Na Koh, a senior content designer at Zapier. I have to say, Zapier is one of my favorite digital products out there today—it allows you to easily connect your favorite digital services.
Two aspects of this product are of particular interest:
- Their copy is particularly well
done, even though they don’t have a lot of writers on their team
- They’ve been an all-remote company for more than nine years
