About this episode

What immediately pops into your mind when you hear the term remote work? Do you think of the typical laptop lifestyle sitting in your pajamas, enjoying the comfort of your living room, or on a beach in Mexico soaking up the sunshine?


Maybe you imagine what you'll do with those extra hours you don't spend commuting to work. Maybe you'll watch some more youtube videos like these. The possibilities are endless.

Remote work is incredible with the Covid 19 pandemic pushing as much as 71 of the workforce to work remotely and 54 of people wanting to remain working from home.


But many people only hear the best aspects of the term so when they finally land the remote job opportunity they've been longing for they aren't prepared for the true nature of working from home


You see you can't expect to just transfer your office job into your living room.
