This Episode’s Heavy-hitter’s:
- For many jobs where being physically in person isn’t necessary, many companies are starting to “strong-arm” employees into coming in.
- Tara and I talk about the pros and cons of remote work and how to make it beneficial for everyone.
- We discuss the shortcomings of LinkedIn in areas like censorship, but also where they do a great job giving voices to people and the importance of that.
- Matt was recently hospitalized with a severe case of COVID at the same time as he had two herniated disks in his neck. We talk about his recovery, how it affected his family, and his former case of the Swine Flu years ago.
- We also talk about how Matt’s time in the hospital has inspired him to enjoy more of life and focus more on the experiences he enjoys.
- Matt has started to evaluate the success of CEOs based not only on their career success but by the success of their relationships with their friends and family, as well as their health.
