In this episode, Vibe Check’s host Brett Martin sits down with Nick Allen, Founder and CEO of Geologie, to discuss all things remote work– the pros, cons, tips and tricks. Nick founded Geologie in 2018, and takes listeners through the evolution of his fully remote company that now offers award-winning unisex skincare, haircare, and body care products. Nick describes the opportunities that result from operating as a remote company, including a diverse global talent pool and cut costs.
With a flat organizational structure and high-trust environment, Nick confidently leads his fully remote team using a virtual office. He discusses topics of remote hiring, onboarding, and building company culture as a fully remote team in Kumospace. Nick pivoted away from enterprise-based remote work tools to using Kumospace, where his team is able to gather, build camaraderie, express themselves, and even throw virtual launch parties! The Geologie team maximizes productivity by balancing individual focus time and team collaboration, and contributes to a positive work environment that fuels remote company culture in Kumospace.
Nick Allen is the Founder and CEO at Geologie, a leading direct to consumer skincare company serving 10,000 customers worldwide.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
