Nic Dahlquist is the co-founder & CTO at BaseNote, a music tech startup that has an ambitious goal: to redefine how musicians fund their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1) To kick things off, could you tell us a little about your career background and current role?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sure! I started my career off by joining Snapchat as an intern, after my third year of university. Following my internship, I made the decision to drop out of college and join full-time (which turned out to be a fantastic decision, in hindsight). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did a few years at Snapchat, a few years as an engineering manager at another tech startup, and then last year I started BaseNote<\/a> along with two co-founders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) What does a day in your life look like for you? Can you take us through a recent workday?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a startup founder, each day is different! Last week, I was networking at SXSW. This week, I\u2019m focused on our lead-gen and partnerships pipeline (optimising our marketing campaigns, having discussions with potential partners, etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week, I\u2019m hoping to spend some time on product design and development. Surprisingly for a CTO, engineering and engineering management currently make up the minority of my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I generally start my days by catching up on Slack messages and emails (we are a fully remote team, so this is how most of our communication happens). I usually have a few video call meetings per day, and I fill in the rest of the day with deep work tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Does your current role allow for flexible or remote working? If so, how does that fit into your life and routine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. From the start, BaseNote has been a fully remote company, with employees spread across multiple time zones. I love working remotely. My wife and I actually went on a multi-month road trip, spending a week at a time in different cities all across the western US. I’m extremely thankful for the experience of working from Vail, Seattle, Phoenix, Napa, Denver, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) What does work-life balance mean to you and how do you work to achieve that goal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s a school of thought that work-life balance means that at 6 every day (or whatever hour you set), you cut yourself off from work and focus on other things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, work-life balance is more flexible than that- it means the freedom to switch off work when I want to (but not necessarily at predetermined hours). If I want to work on a Saturday morning to get ahead, great! If I want to take a Wednesday afternoon off to go hiking with friends, also great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, I’ve been fortunate enough to always have jobs that I’ve legitimately enjoyed, which often means that I choose to work long hours. But I leave myself the flexibility to take time off when I want to; whether that’s for friends and family, non-work priorities, or just because I’m low on “work energy”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caveat: I do think that vacations should be fully cut off from work stuff. Both for mental health, and because that results in more resilient organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) In the past 12 months, have you started or stopped any routines or habits to change your life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The digital nomad lifestyle was really great for about 6 months, and I would absolutely recommend it, but it eventually felt taxing to be moving around so much without a home base. My wife and I actually just bought a house, and we’re looking forward to settling down for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Do you have any favourite books, podcasts or newsletters that you’d like to recommend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since BaseNote is a company at the intersection of music and finance, a few of us enjoy reading Matt Levine’s Money Stuff<\/a> newsletter. It’s a fun way to gain perspective on current happenings in the finance world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Are there any products, gadgets or apps that you can\u2019t live without?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m a big fan of the reMarkable 2 tablet<\/a>. It’s an ePaper tablet that writes like paper. I used to use paper notebooks for note-taking, but the reMarkable is thinner, sleeker, and backs up to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) If you could read an interview about work-life balance by anyone, who would that be? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’d be intrigued to read an interview from Elon Musk<\/a>. Obviously not because he’s a champion of work-life balance, but because I think his perspective would be unorthodox and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9) Do you have any last thoughts on work, life or balance that you\u2019d like to share with our readers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think it all starts with finding the right job and manager, and that’s the hard part. After that, consistently make time for friends, family, and yourself, and the rest follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
