About the Author

Ken Taylor has spent his career in and around tech startups, beginning with a ringside seat to his father's ventures and continuing through many more. His experience building world-class teams and efficient processes across a wide range of industries at all business cycles gives him a unique perspective on the needs of all stakeholders-owners, investors, executives, managers, line workers, and customers.While Ken has had extensive experience with home-based work, his first experience at a fully remote organization came at OwnerRez, where he was the third employee. At the time, the company was small enough that everyone worked from their home offices. By the time the company grew and needed physical office space, COVID-19 hit. The company never went back, and the lessons learned during that time form the foundation of Working in Slippers.Taylor's pursuit of excellence through constant learning and adaptation led to this book. His understanding that excellence also requires historical wisdom led to his previous co-authored work, The Confucian Cycle: China's Sage and America's Decline.Ken lives near San Antonio, Texas, with his wife Angela, their dog Magenta, and an ever-changing number of cats who often appear on conference calls from his home office. He is the father of Veronica, who lives in Amsterdam with her husband, and Henry, who is completing an engineering degree.
