Go2: What Does an Engagement Manager Do?
In this candid onboarding session from remote-staffing company Go2, seasoned Success (Engagement) Managers pass down hard-won wisdom to a new hire named BJ. Between laughter and blunt honesty, they distill the role into a set of living principles: be the bridge between client and team, yell when you need help, don't take feedback personally, refuse to get comfortable, practice extreme ownership, and — most provocatively — chant 'f*ck Go2' to remind everyone that the welfare of teammates and clients comes before the company's bottom line. The video is less a job description than a culture-forging ritual, ending with BJ recapping every lesson and earning a 'Damn Solid B+.'
Flow Club
Flow Club is a virtual coworking community that runs live, hosted focus sessions where people work side-by-side on video to get into flow and beat procrastination. Built around 'body doubling' - the idea that the quiet presence of others working keeps you on task - each 50-minute sprint opens with quick goal-setting, runs on focused silence with music, and closes with a recap. Founded in 2020 by Ricky Yean and David Tran, the Y Combinator (S21) startup has become a popular tool for remote, independent, and neurodivergent workers, often described by its founders as 'Peloton for coworking.'
Jack Gardner
Jack Gardner is the founder and CEO of Kickoff, a New York wellness platform that pairs everyday people with certified personal trainers over text, video and an app for a fraction of in-person prices. An NASM-certified trainer himself, he built the first version while coaching his own mom, then turned that into a marketplace of 20,000+ coaches that has paid out millions to trainers and helped tens of thousands of clients. Before Kickoff he was a Bain consultant and a BuildZoom SVP; today he runs the company on a Notion-and-Metabase stack with a mission to make elite coaching something that doesn't require an elite bank account.
