Commsor founder Mac Reddin swears fun is a feature, not frosting. From the Lego‑Brontosaurus viral stunt to #DinoFacts swag, he shows how deliberate play powers remote teams, why “Zoom‑ifying the office” fails, and how pacing beats sprinting for marathon startups.
Key Takeaways • Intentional remote > copy‑pasted office culture. • Fun embedded in work beats after‑hours “culture add‑ons.” • Sprint sparingly, pace always—marathon rules for startups. • Founder habits set the only culture that sticks. • Community flywheels outlast paid‑ad budgets.
