We're back with a new episode of "This Week at Notarize" – our weekly series about everything happening inside Notarize! This week we're talking about culture. So much of the success of any company comes down to how connected employees are to each other, and the mission they're rallied around. What many companies get wrong, is they believe that culture is a fixed idea, and what you have some semblance of it, that it never changes.

That's why I was excited to interview Jasmeet Arora and Kevin Fanning, who are both heavily active in helping us define our culture here at Notarize.

You’ve been to big real estate conferences before, but here’s the problem: nothing changes. Similar speakers, similar topics, and the same events at night. We reimagined the entire conference experience, bringing the brightest minds in real estate to Miami for a one-day event in November.

No gimmicks. No fluff. Rewired features sessions of aspiration, featuring speakers from Guaranteed Rate,  Opendoor, Redfin, Thrive Mortgage, Fannie Mae, Westcor, and elsewhere who will explain how to use real estate technology in your organization.

We want to make it easy for your boss to say “Yes” when you approach them about attending Rewired. Here are five easy steps you can use to convince your boss to send you to Rewired.

We're back with a new episode of "This Week at Notarize" – our weekly series about everything happening inside Notarize. This week, we're talking about open source technology. The truth is, Notarize wouldn't be around from a technology standpoint if we didn't take advantage of open source projects in the community. They've helped our product reach millions of people safely and securely. 

That's why I was excited to interview Eric Butler, who just recently published an open source project here at Notarize, and is part of the engineering team. This episode is all about being a part of a community that makes software, and technology more broadly, better for the world.

I can’t remember the last time I took a cab, and the luxury of having my favorite sushi delivered to my front door isn’t bad, either. These experiences are products of the booming “Gig Economy,” a term coined by Tina Brown of The Daily Beast to describe the influx of freelance and part-time work in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

Today, the gig economy is now responsible for more than 10% of jobs across the country. In this blog post we’ll explore how remote online notarization, which empowers notaries to notarize documents entirely online and from the comfort of their homes, is providing 4 million notaries with the opportunity to offer better, on-demand service through an ever-evolving gig economy.

It's a new week and that means a new episode of "This Week at Notarize" – our weekly series about everything happening inside Notarize. This week I was super excited to interview Andrew MacDougall, who leads all things content. So much of the company's success, and its ability to move major industries to adopt new technology, is thanks to the work he's done.
