Hey Joekub-tonians! This episode has Jakub and Joe jumping over to the Bay Area in San Fran to talk with Pete Lim, principal agile coach at Miro. In true Joekub fashion, our conversation takes twists and turns as we learn about what led Pete to agile coaching, what it is like being an agile coach at a company known for distributed facilitation, and what Miro culture is like (do they even have offices?). We also learn about whether Miro has an incentive programme for naming your first born "Miro". Pete is an excellent storyteller and gives us a great perspective of working as a coach in a hybrid, together/distributed world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joekub/message
