In this episode, Joe tells his experience of how he has worked for a variety of small companies and also churches and how his family recently made a move from a coastal location back to closer to home now that he has a wife and young daughter and dog and what it was like to build a home office that was more intentional this time around. Joe is officially leaving some of his former part-time and in-person work in order to dedicate his attention to his remote business at this time.

Joe recommends finding ways to make a workspace enjoyable to be in and personally finds that starting his day with prayer and meditation sets his day on the right path. Joe believes if someone can find what works for them in terms of a routine, they can discover more productive times of day but don’t sweat it if it doesn’t always go to plan.

Kelly offers productivity coaching for people and project managers and has actually just published her book Start With Better Meetings, a tool for managers of any kind of team, but especially practical for those leading remote and hybrid teams with an aim to help foster more effective meetings and ultimately restore about 2-3 hours of usable time to a given work week while still making steady progress toward goals and deliverables. She often meets with small teams remotely to work on meeting management and also offers group and individual sessions on calendar and time management help as well as assistance with task prioritization and teaches reflection. Her Procrastination to Action Package focuses primarily on identifying "procrastination preference," roadblocks, distractions, key goals, and a path to consistently make progress toward those goals. She comes with a rich history of working with nonprofits and other organizations including connecting classrooms to communities, designing productivity strategies for corporations and non-profits, and turning a maximum-security cell block into an award-winning, tail-wagging incubator for compassionate change at the HOPE Dogs Program. Kelly has spent the last 25 years designing and building programs, partnerships, and place-based projects and is a professional member of the National Association of Productivity and Organization Professionals (NAPO) where she serves on the Education Advisory Committee.

Ever on the hunt for the best remote-work tools, Kelly has decided that ClickUp is her favorite app for managing multi-stage projects and loves how she can map a project any way she likes and then have reminders automatically integrate with her Google calendar.

Jessica now runs JRG Coaching, Ltd, and her coaching is centered around health and positivity, time management, and manageable to-do lists. She offers tips for connecting with children and different ways to keep them motivated in the home environment. Jessica enjoys being able to walk her child home from school in the afternoons and has just planned for that as part of her daily routine. Some of her strategies also include heading to a local coffee shop for a change of scenery and ensuring she has meetings scheduled to help with motivation and keeping engaged. She speaks about adjusting her mindset and being present for family and changes she made to herself as a leader to ensure that she keeps positive and energized. When she made key decisions around being clear on what kind of life she wanted for herself and her daughter, by setting boundaries, asking the right people for help, and changing aspects of how I worked, she found a way to enjoy home and work and even find time for herself!

Jessica has always been motivated by working with individuals and teams to achieve their best and wants to take what she's learned to support others in similar situations to find their way to be their best selves and be successful at home and work.

In this episode, Shane talks about his experiences working remotely as a CEO. He is passionate about remote management, strategic planning, and culture. They have a "no meeting Friday" policy at their company that is followed, for the most part. If someone can book at least a week in advance, they'll be guaranteed to be able to pick any time of day. He feels that at this point in his career and his role, he has a pretty good handle on being able to moderate his work with everything else and enjoys how he has the flexibility to go for a morning hike with friends every morning and can fit in the occasional urgent project. He shares some of his remote-work advice: "Don't eat at your desk - it's far too easy to overeat, plus you miss an opportunity to take a break." He's also a fan actually using his sit-stand desk.

Shane has been driving successful projects for a variety of notable media and software start-ups for 25 years. Shane recently co-authored a book with Cynthia Watson, The Power of Remote, which just launched on February 7, 2023. Virtira's website offers a remote readiness assessment that reviews an organization's fitness for remote work.

In this episode, Janet shares how the topic of tax preparation has become an especially exciting one, because she's helping get people access to flexible work in a way she wishes she had earlier in her life, like when she had younger children. There's actually an extreme deficit of tax preparers as many of the people in the field are entering their retirement years, so if people want flexible work or to just work 3-4 months out of the year, this is a great field to look at (and it can be lucrative too, especially for those who go on their own and/or take the extra steps to do business taxes and trusts and estates). Some big name tax preparation sites do require their employees to have a degree, but it's actually something that is available to people with or without high school diplomas or college degrees as the methods can be learned just by working alongside someone in the field and learning online, keeping up with the continuing education hours. Some people do go into accounting to have more consistent work throughout the year, but it's not necessary.

Janet has actually been living the dream working from home on and off in different capacities for about 10 years, and currently she has gotten it to where she has a busy season where she's working 40 hours a week for a few months while they're putting on their course and then it relaxes down to about 25 hours a week for the rest of the year where she focuses coaching and consulting around being a better boss, skills like learning boundaries and negotiation skills as an employee. She went back to school at age 50 and earned her MBA from Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.

In this episode, Justin talks about his work-from-home journey. He's worked from home for 9 of the last 23 years, first for 4 years, was back in the office for awhile, and then now fully remote again for the past 5 years. He currently has a three-monitor desk for his long-term day job work as a software developer and another with more like 9 monitors in the same office for his other production projects. He has a red and green busy light outside the office that functions as an "on-air" light, so that his family knows when they can enter the office and when to knock to ask to enter.

Justin also offers event mentoring services. He has ranked 4 times as an Amazon International Best Selling Author and currently has an upcoming project, a course called The Tech Made E.A.S.Y. Solution: How to Keep Your Focus on Your Content, Offer, and Coaching, Not On Complicated Tech which can be found soon on his Let Your Nerd Be Heard website.

Todd has worked from home longer than a lot of people, with more than 3 decades working as a software developer, more or less logging on from a home office since 2003 when the internet was still just gaining popularity in private homes. For 28, years he was working as an independent consultant, working for large and small projects for big clients such as IBM, The State of Utah, The State of Alaska, General Motors, and the New York Transit Authority. He was managing and running his own software business for time tracking that tens of thousands of work-at-home consultants were using but, ultimately, went into consulting and is now dedicated to bringing the safest nail clippers in the world to help parents trim the nails of their tiny infants without risk of causing injuries and pain.

Todd's invention, LuvClip nail clippers, has been awarded seals of excellence by three organizations who recognize safe and effective products for parents to use on their children and are getting good reviews from parents of young children and other caregivers. He attributes the development of this product to working from home when his children were first born because it allowed him to be more involved with their care including trimming their teeny-tiny nails. He painfully became aware of how all of the baby nail clippers on the market suffered from major design flaws which resulted in both him and his wife accidentally injuring their newborns fingertips even while trying to clip their baby's nails as carefully as possible. Working from home now, his time is split between preparing the LuvClip nail clippers for distribution versus the business development and marketing aspect of an entrepreneurial business selling physical products instead of services. With the change in workflow, Todd manages his time by exercising first thing in the morning to set the tone for the day and then utilizing Focusmate while he’s in the office to help minimize distractions.

In this episode, Anna tells a few stories including one about a cat who likes to get into the ceiling and another about how she first started working from home which involved quitting her job to take a new job, with her boss letting her work from home to keep her with the company. Awhile back, she wrote a LinkedIn post about remote work and her husband quitting his job when his employer ordered him back into the office, and he decided to get a different job instead, one that allowed him to continue to work remotely as they both like to be able to share in the kid-related stuff that comes up during the day. They've noticed some differences in expectations from remote employers with some being more flexible (small companies) and others requiring people to be on camera and in meetings all day. Anna now works for herself and prefers to embrace flexibility which allows her to maintain a good balance, even when she goes to pick up her children in the middle of the day or go grocery shopping on a Friday morning. She doesn't think about working early or late as an inconvenience, because she knows she is taking control over her own life.

In her work as a workflow consultant, Anna helps solopreneurs and small businesses automate workflow with tools like Zapier. She writes about working remotely in her Substack as well. Anna's goal is to educate others about remote work, the future of work, and how work can be better. She typically focuses on writing about fintech and product-led content. She's found many collaboration tools to make remote work easier now, including project management tools, video tools for asynchronous communication, etc, that didn't exist when she first started working from home.

The Linkedin post that went viral (4 million views) and got picked up by LinkedIn's Talent Blog: Why Professionals Quit to Find Flexible Work:  https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/talent-engagement/viral-post-highlights-why-professionals-quit-to-find-flexible-work

In this episode, Christine talks about what it's been like to be a self-published author on tour during a global pandemic and how that's affected the timeline of her book tour while also running a freelance business as a writer and social media manager. She does work from her home base in the Denver and sometimes Phoenix area, sometimes a few weeks or a month at a time. When she went from hiking extensively on the Appalachian and Wonderland Trail to staying somewhere different nearly every night while on tour, it was socially and physically exhausting for her as someone who tends toward the introverted side. She's learned to balance the amount of time she travels with the amount of time she can spend outdoors and working and resting. Her days are often spent at libraries and coffee shops for wifi, and she generally has signal and access to wifi as she generally stays close to metropolitan areas when she's working. Christine loves the freedom that her vanlife lifestyle has allowed, but she recommends that people who are considering it for the first time go ahead and rent a van first to see if it's something that they really want to invest in, most people know within the first 6 months if it's sustainable for them.

Some of the tools and tips that Christine recommends for working remotely, and specifically while on the road to some extent, include keeping a structured calendar to avoid work creeping into free time and scheduling Zoom sessions with work-from-home and other vanlife friends for accountability and socialization. Her book was really a sort of a catalyst for her to get where she is now. It was the first move into a more alternative lifestyle, and she wouldn't be working remotely without it; but the book, at the same time, also helps give her the freedom to keep hiking every year. She intends to write her second book soon, so stay tuned!

In this episode, Jillian explains that audiobook narrating takes quite a number of hours of work, researching, and editing for each hour of published audio. She been able to balance working while her kids are at school or sleeping. For those who are considering audiobook narration, she recommends doing the research as there is more to it than most realize at first. However, it is an industry that offers more flexibility than many others which has worked very well for her and her family. She typically schedules out her books with a turnaround date about three months in the future, and this gives her enough time to meet her deadlines even when she becomes sick or has a health complication, and she can accept jobs and record on her own schedule while still caring for her kids before and after school and in the summertime.

Jillian has moved from recording in a closet to her very own in-home recording studio built by her husband, and she's upgraded her equipment a few times over the last couple of years as well (currently recording with a Neumann TLM 102 microphone). In order to give herself accountability while working on her own schedule, Jillian uses Focusmate or sometimes records live on TikTok, and she has joined groups for those in the audiobook industry and works with a mentor and coach for business growth. She is a member of the APA (Audio Publishers Association) and PANA (Professional Audiobook Narrators Association) and has worked with publishers such as Tantor, Brilliance, The Audio Flow, and Bloomsbury Publishing.

More and more lawyers are finding that they don’t need to work in law firms with brick and mortar offices. Karen says that most of the resources she needs for her practice are available via the internet. When she was in law school, students and lawyers used hard cover books to do legal research. Online legal research services are now readily available. Karen subscribes to a legal research service that she says is top notch. Zoom and other virtual services make meetings with other lawyers and clients easy. The pandemic led many more lawyers to work from home offices or in virtual offices. During the pandemic, bar associations started to make meetings and continuing education classes available electronically. Depositions in preparation for a trial that used to be held in an office are now handled electronically. And many court proceedings now take place via Zoom or a service like that. The shift to electronic meetings and court hearings that was necessitated by the pandemic will continue into the future. Electronic resources make connecting with people much more cost-effective than brick and mortar alternatives. That helps those working in the legal system generally, but particularly those who work from home offices. Karen discusses these and other issues in this podcast.

In this lesson, Marshall shares some tips for online music students. In the first few online music lessons, he and his students (sometimes with the help of parents) work to establish preferred camera angles and get familiar with the technology. It eventually becomes second nature in future lessons once everyone knows how to get the camera set up correctly so both teacher and student can hear each other properly. Marshall has learned it's completely worth taking the extra time to get these set up so that it's easy to see and hear at least 90% of what's happening in the lesson. This cuts down on having to repeat himself or the student missing a concept because they couldn't see or hear well or vice versa. Another tip for online teachers is to make sure that your marketing is such that the clients/students know that you only teach remotely to find clients who are looking for the same thing to avoid a mismatch, as it's so much better to teach to someone who expects and wants lessons online than someone who is settling for online when they really want in-person lessons.

Marshall O'Leary has been teaching for 17 years and playing music for 39 years. He plays and teaches the guitar, piano, and saxophone and also performs with his band, Glass Twin (they make music similar to what might happen if Pink Floyd met Radiohead). Currently, he is teaching out of his home, which is also a home recording studio called Rabid Ears Recording, run by his friend. Marshall can currently be found in most places under Mister Marshall Music but will soon be adjusting more of his branding to his name, Marshall O'Leary.

Renee hasn’t always lived in a tiny house. After living and maintaining a 3300 square foot, five bedroom, four bathroom house – Renee decided in 2015 to sell it all after her youngest daughter was heading to college. She bought her first tiny home on wheels – an 87 sqft home nicknamed “Big R” she towed with her truck and took to a few festivals in 2016. She kept thinking, “We need to have more of these festivals because it gives people a great way to experience tiny living, ask questions, and see things in person.” Renee has met a lot of entrepreneurs and remote work folks through TinyFest and is part of the tiny living community herself. She recommends that everyone “enjoy the quest for balance and the quest to understand what that balance is for you and at which point along the work/life scale you are most happiest now. It will likely change later, so be ready to go with the flow!”

For Renee, the idea of “Going Tiny” is more than just buying and moving into a moveable home. It’s about fun, sustainability, autonomy, flexibility, and freedom--financial freedom, freedom of mobility, freedom from stuff and stress. At the TinyFest events, they have two stages with people teaching about the tiny living lifestyle; because she feels that, more important than simply buying or building a tiny house, Renee wants to help others understand they can create a life that serves them well - including topics of housing, travel & entrepreneurship. TinyFest started in the midwest, in Des Moines, Iowa, and has branched out to TinyFest California, TinyFest Northwest, TinyFest Texas & TinyFest Southwest. TinyFest is a great place to explore alternative living options for work-from-home people. There are two upcoming events on December 3 & 4 in Phoenix, Arizona, at WestWorld (Scottsdale). The next one will be on March 11 & 12 in San Diego, California, at Del Mar Fairgrounds.

In this episode, Jason shares how he transitioned from a naval officer to a college professor. He has worked as a network engineer, director of network operations and security center, and as an information systems officer for large organizations around the globe. He eventually needed more flexibility with his schedule, which led to him teaching cybersecurity courses on Udemy. Between the basic Udemy courses and the more robust courses on his website, his training program has grown to 1 million students. Dion Training now prepares students for IT, project management, and cybersecurity certificates. Many people who go through this training program will end up in remote-work positions, as IT work lends itself well to working from a home office.

Jason explains that there are dozens of roles within the cybersecurity realm, with something for nearly every personality type. Of note, most entry-level cybersecurity positions do not require a college degree, so he encourages high schoolers and recent high school graduates to seek experience in an IT help desk situation while earning certificates so they can enter a career position making $70-200k within a couple of years. Job seekers need to obtain specific certificates for different fields, and sometimes a combination of more than one is required. Jason personally holds multiple information technology professional certifications, including Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Certified Network Defense Architect (CNDA), Digital Forensic Examiner (DFE), Digital Media Collector (DMC), CySA+, Security+, Network+, A+, PRINCE2 Practitioner, and ITIL, among others. He also holds a master of science degree in information technology, specializing in information assurance, but he reminds the listeners that the bachelor’s and master’s level degrees are usually only needed for management and higher positions. Dion Training does offer a track that includes career counseling which is especially useful for those who are pivoting their careers.

 Anyone who would like to hear more about how to get into cybersecurity can find Jason and the podcast Your Cyber Path and can also contact him through his website with the same name.

In this episode, Erin shares how she has built a routine for herself where she practices time blocking for her morning and afternoon work schedule and then takes a two-hour lunch each day to get out of the house and hit the gym. Time blocking prevents her from getting distracted with household tasks. She recognizes that she performs best when she keeps conversational work, such as interviews, to the earlier morning hours. She then reserves her afternoons for focused and active listening when meeting with clients. Erin and her husband work out of the same office space in their basement, which works well for them since they rarely have overlapping meetings.

Erin views her brain and body as tools and likes to remind her brain of why she loves working from home. Many of her clients work from home for various reasons, some temporarily and others permanently. She talked about some challenges she and her clients face regarding motivation, scheduling, and transitioning to and from the home-office setting. Erin describes herself as someone who specializes in helping people live a better quality of life, based on improving their wellness through their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. Whether they're "looking to lose weight, create healthy habits/behavior changes, improve their perspective, attitudes, emotional management, time management, decision making, or problem-solving skill, through the lens of wellness," she is ready to help. Erin has personally invested in personal coaching for her own life and has found it helps her manage her mindset and emotions to improve her own work-from-home experience, as it can be isolating.

In this episode, Sarah talks about the paradox of working from home which is a topic she's addressed in a blog article with the same title awhile back. She's noticed that freelancers and remote workers often either hyper focus on their work without taking care of their own needs or, on the contrary, find themselves getting distracted by household responsibilities and other demands on their attention. She's adjusted her own work day, including when and where she works, especially now that she has a 4-year-old daughter and can't just work from bed all morning like she could before kids. She's also gotten creative with how she divides childcare between preschool and some local family members, and it certainly helps that she comes from a family of self-starters, with her parents and sister also working for themselves with some degree of flexibility to spend time with her kid when she has client calls.

Sarah recently published her book, Instant Freelancer: How to Start a Business of One; and she is also opening registration for her Solopreneur Collaborative Mastermind now through November 11. She's taking the methods and strategies she's taught to her one-on-one clients into a group setting to help even more people and organizations turn their ideas into action and bring their goals to fruition. She’s an operational expert and has been a project strategist for over a decade, designing and leading projects for a variety of organizations, helping businesses refine systems and processes, and providing support to researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, and leaders.

In this episode, Molly Rose talks about how and why she created her company to help provide stable work for military spouses and others who needed to move often. She shared what skill set and personality traits are typically a good fit with this line of work and some of the variety of clients the VAs partner with. There is a demand for virtual help, with tasks that range from social media marketing to administrative assistant work and more, and VAs are a valuable resource for any entrepreneur or company needing more support. Molly Rose is the go-to professional for some of the most successful entrepreneurs and leaders in the financial and personal development industries.

Molly’s own work has opened up flexibility and freedom for solo travel, and she’s expanded her offerings from supporting her own clients to preparing to launch new offerings. She’s been a remote work business owner since 2013 and has a lot to share as it relates to balance, time freedom, traveling while working remote, and training others to create work-remove careers with my Virtual Assistant Academy and is in the process of launching a program, The Online Business Accelerator, a one-stop shop program to put new authors, coaches, and speakers on Kajabi.

Molly shares how she recently hired a health and nutrition coach at the beginning of 2021 which has been a game changer for her overall health and physical strength as well as helped her posture and eliminated pain from working at a desk. To compartmentalize her different hats, she often changes areas of the house to work in or goes to a coffee shop when she switches from one project to the next. She also swears by her priority 5 notepads, which outline the top 5 things she has to prioritize each day which she feels have been a game changer.

In this episode, Chris and Jordan open up about their experiences working from home as a couple, how their dynamics affect their business and situation when working, and how they value wellness in accordance with their ideal living situation as remote workers. They also discussed some of the positive productivity effects as well as the negative wellness impact of working from home. The Fischers co-founded WALK-i-TASK while working other jobs but were eventually able to make it their sole focus, and they are continuing to update their desk so that it includes more options and can fit even more treadmills. Their goal is to help others that work from home get rid of that sedentary lifestyle by sitting less and moving more by incorporating a treadmill desk as a health and fitness tool.

In this episode, Ashley describes how and why she became an advocate for those wanting to return to the workforce, especially women who have taken time away from work to raise their children, as she was anticipating starting her own family. She had spent 15 years in a busy career as an award-winning tech marketer in both Austin and London. Now she’s committed to changing the lives of overloaded employers, women seeking rewarding work, and doing all she can to close the gender gap. Ashley has worked from home for awhile, but now she has experienced taking a maternity leave of her own and returning to work and how that has impacted her schedule and lifestyle. She's now commuting again, in order to bring her daughter to childcare.

In this episode, Rachna talks about her and her husband have reframed their working hours and cut out some extra activities to rebalance and manage their "home operations" as a unit. As a family with two parents, they've done their best to be intentional as they're trying to figure things out with work, school, activities, personal time, health, etc. They treat their jobs and everything they do as needing to be in sync (taking on more or fewer projects based on each other's schedules), with Rachna dropping off the kids in the morning and starting her workday a little later and her husband working an earlier schedule so he can be done in time to pick up the kids from school. They have some time in the evenings together, but then she blocks time for studying after their kids are in bed. The way they've set up their home is also intentional and conducive for play and learning with a play structure in the living room and lots of tech supplies on hand for their curious kindergartener who likes to take apart old electronic devices.

Rachna and her husband are continuing to work out their home office spaces with some trial and error. Still, Rachna swears by having a larger monitor which has been tremendously helpful in her educational research and writing, something her husband was able to donate from his own setup as he doesn't require more than one screen. In the end, Rachna says that sometimes it had nothing to do with tech, equipment, or any apps, but just getting out of her home space and working in a coffee shop or a quiet library is helpful for change, especially with noisy kids when they are home early or she needs to focus.

If you'd like to reach out to Rachna to discuss teaching artificial intelligence (AI) topics or STEM and Stories, such as how to incorporate STEM learning into literature studies in an elementary classroom, you can find Rachna in the following places:

In this episode, Linda talks about how being a community builder comes naturally for her and what that looks like as somone who works from home yet still has a drive to get together with people. Linda works from home, as does her partner; but they have different personalities and lines of work but do still try to get an occasional walk in when possible. She also uses a peer accountability website called Focusmate with over 7000 sessions and has other people she talks with on the phone while taking walks. Linda's currently planning on a Treadmill Desk Race coming up on August 19th with Justin Higgins (see episode 39 on the Yes, I Work From Home podcast).

Linda is also deeply involved in a growing network of Lean In circles inspired by Sheryl Sandberg's book, "Lean In." The Lean In Together MSP Network has grown from 12 people nine years ago to over 7,000 across six continents, and Linda helped grow this locally and globally through a LinkedIn group of 6,300 members.

In this episode, Kris talks about how she found her passion in providing people happiness through photos and videos, and how she continued to grow as a work-from-home business, transforming captured memories from chaos to simple digital systems. Originally, Kris was primarily working with physical photos for the people in her region, driving around and picking up and dropping off photos and working with them in her home office area. She sometimes works side-by-side with her clients but was able to continue working with a lot of no-contact porch pickup options during the height of the pandemic. Now, she's able to help more people remotely as more and more people are shifting their photo and video storage to the cloud. For those who have piles of paper photos or don't have all their digital photos off of old devices and organized into one place, Kris is offering a course called Digital Peace for those who could use the extra support in getting it all under control so that the photos can be enjoyed and preserved and passed down.

In this episode, Sabrina shares how she has a side business where she often dog sits for several of her neighbors and people in her area and has been preparing to embark on a digital nomad lifestyle by housesitting and/or dog sitting while traveling abroad and stateside as well in order to cover her lodging. She has invested in a portable second monitor that attaches magnetically to her laptop and is able to travel with her home office setup with just a carry-on and personal bag. She has been looking into the option of long-term renting her condo out while she's out as well. Since she doesn't have her own animals, she has the freedom to travel freely and also stay locally with some friends and family and in the homes of clients who need pet sitting when she's in the area. She's also planning on staying in co-living spaces designed for digital nomads.

In this episode, Debbie shares some of the ways that she and her husband were able to work separately in different parts of the house but still got together every hour for some dancing to make sure they kept on moving and drank enough water. She and her husband would spend some time every morning discussing their plans and goals for the day. Now that she is living alone, her routines have changed; and Debbie has turned to more journaling and routines to keep herself motivated and find her own rhythm. She now is able to work from more than one place in her house and breaks up her day with several exercise routines as well as several minutes of cold water in the shower (and is considering taking it to the next level with ice in the bathtub as part of her healthy lifestyle). She finds that writing things down before she starts working really helps her focus on her own work and then also uses Calendly for appointment scheduling. 

Debbie is now the founder and owner of Woman Emerged as teaching and coaching are her passions, and she is always excited by people who live to learn. She's also finishing up her new book: Woman Emerged: Create the Life You Desire, By Becoming the Woman You Love which should be available this fall. She continues to support moms through the Inspired Mom Summit which is coming up again this September 29-October 2. She is passionate about working from home and wants to empower others to pursue the opportunities.

In this episode, Jubee talks about his daily routine of starting his work day with a couple of hours working from home. He then transitions to his office space after lunch most days of the week, using a docking station and laptop to transition from dual monitors at both of his desks. He and his wife have their home offices set up in different parts of their house and have a very short commute to and from their other office just a few minutes away, often coming and going at different times in order to take turns when it comes time for school drop off and pick up. He has embraced some of the flexibility of being able to work remotely when it suits him for things such as getting back from the gym and checking messages and planning his day. Still, he also appreciates the reset that happens with the change of pace once he heads to the office after lunch for his deep-focused work as well as collaborating with his team a few days a week. However, all the students he works with are remote now and often land work-from-home jobs. Jubee is responsible for enrollment as well as employment outcomes and has found that using online classes helps the students make the transition to the real-world tech environment since most tech companies out there are pivoting to having a remote environment.

In this episode, Michelle discusses creating boundaries at home while working as she works to balance a relatively flexible lifestyle while maintaining structure during the workday. She also talks about knowing oneself and how personality plays into whether someone might want or need to work from another location at times to keep things fresh as her daughter does or to be around people, like her husband prefers. Michelle has learned that she can build her time off around her clients' promotional schedules and is to the point now in her business that she doesn't have to work from the road when she goes to visit her adult twins, even though she could. She views working from home as a discipline where she needs to have the discipline to get up and work as well as the discipline to set boundaries and expectations with clients and herself to remember to stop working. Michelle recommends Clickup software as it has been crucial for her as she is managing the team routines, projects, workflows and tracking deadlines. With her office in another room of the house as well as other family members living in the same household, she has learned to set limits on what she will and won't do during her regular work day.

In this episode, Caroline talks about how she wants to see introverts succeed in working for themselves and managing to be productive and happy working from home without falling into the habit of never leaving the house. Caroline loves to spend time alone but recognizes the importance of remaining a part of society and says that walking her dogs and getting to the coffee shop help her maintain not just a routine but also enough interaction with others to stay healthy. To start and end her work day, Caroline has also put in a place a few routines that have helped her such as using flexible time blocking to get work done in a way that works for how she's feeling on a particular day, and her end-of-day routine with a warm shower helps her switch off mentally from work so she doesn't keep going all night.

Caroline is an Australian who is currently settled in with her dogs and close to family near Canberra, the capital of Australia; but she has also lived in several different countries including the UK, Namibia, and Laos. She describes herself as a corporate escapee having spent 20 years working as a chartered accountant working for large businesses and not for profits, as well as being a supply officer in the Air Force. Now she gets to work from the comfort of her own home, making the introvert in her very happy.

In this episode, Liam introduces us briefly to his family. He also shares a bit about his personal routine and home office. When asked about what he did with all of his clothes in his closet when he decided to work from that space, he shared that he built some of his routines around saving his decision-making capacity for larger-scale projects, so he has invested in multiple copies of the same outfit and keeps it at various locations around the world that he likes to frequent. He is currently prioritizing speaking on podcasts in anticipation of the upcoming conference and book release, so investing less time in decisions about things like what he'll eat for breakfast opens up more time for these other priorities. He speaks about how innovation in the remote working industry will change the way we work and argues that 20% of someone's workday is doing work, and the other 60% is doing things around work. Liam and his team use Time Doctor to share with one another how they're spending their time and making the most of their time at work, freeing up more time for the things that are important to them outside of work.

Now that Mark has a new degree, he is working in his preferred role at a different company where roughly 95% of his work can be done from home. His employer also allows him to have a fair amount of flexibility in his schedule, and he has tried a few different schedules in the past, including waking up at 4:30 am to get to work onsite by 5:30 am so he can get home before dark which was especially important for him when he was working in factories during the daylight hours. Currently, now that he doesn't have to commute, he gets a bit more sleep if the kids don't wake him up; however, he also gets a lot more family time and can help run errands or pick up the kids from school midday and sometimes works something more like a split shift and wraps up in the evening hours once they're home from school or in bed. Mark and his wife just moved into a larger home, and he sometimes has to change location within his house to catch a quiet spot to take a call, but he is generally able to work from his kitchen and living room where they have a nice morning and afternoon light which is important to him. In the evenings, once their four kids are in bed, Mark and his wife both head down to their large basement room where she works on writing novels, and he works on a board game or two he's been developing. They're excited about their three-season porch and backyard with plenty of room for a large deck and are talking about putting a desk out there as well once the weather warms up a bit come springtime.

In this episode, Mark talks about how he remembers thinking about what he wanted to be when he grew up, and that was to be a "dad". He also wanted a big house, fancy cars, a plane, etc. As he started adult life, his top priority of being a father who was present for his family rose to the top, and he felt self-employment would help him achieve his goals. He tried several times to start businesses and work from home, but the sales weren't happening and they didn't always have the financial margin to sustain the start-ups. After working for several small companies that demanded many hours, mediocre pay, no benefits and long commutes ... he started freelancing. After a few years, Mark was making as much freelancing as he was in his day job for only a fraction of the hours. He and his wife decided to go for it again since it was not sustainable to continue working two jobs, one had to go. Since, his employer already didn't offer great pay or benefits, he started the current business of 15 years!

Mark has decided there is more to life than big houses and private planes on a private lake. He decided if he wanted to be his idea of the ideal dad, there would be a cost, and for his family it meant sometimes not having the full benefits package of a traditional job. It has been said, "If you want something of value, there will be a cost.” Mark found that one of the biggest headaches (literally) has been healthcare, especially as he and his wife have had some medical issues. However, working from home and as his own boss has also made it easier to make medical appointments and take the time to manage their conditions. Mark mentions that the cost of healthcare for self-employed people is ridiculous, so he was happy to take on a few additional classes, teaching at a local college from where they lived on the Wisconsin/Minnesota border that eventually provided benefits has eased that pain this year.

Although Eric works with IT folks, his background is actually quite diverse. He originally traveled quite a bit and served in the United States Coast Guard and eventually ended up with a history degree and then a law degree and worked as an attorney in different capacities for a while. He's taught at his local community college as well, and the combination of his experience helped him transition into his current role with Kaplan, where he's been for the past 7 years. He has grown college-age children and recently remarried so is looking at embracing some of the flexibility that remote work can offer such as the possibility of international travel in the future since his wife also works from home. 

In this episode, Eric shares some of his tips for remote work including incorporating natural light into the workspace. He's an avid bird watcher and enjoys being able to see out his window while working. He feels that it's important for people to set up their home workspace in a way that is pleasant so that they don't mind being there for an 8-hour workday. Eric and his wife work on separate floors of their home but have been able to establish a routine where they are often able to step away for a walk or even take a nap during a lunch break, and they feel that they've been able to balance their degree of conversation and productivity throughout the day with little breaks here and there.

Emily and her family just made a move from about 45 miles away as she had been commuting nearly an hour on a stretch of interstate that is known to be extra rough in inclement weather. Emily's husband, Ryan (from Episode 1), also works from home, and their daughter is part of an online school, so they decided to move closer to the office so that when she does need to go in a few days a week, the commute is easier. Emily has embraced some aspects of minimalism in the past in terms of using a capsule wardrobe, but when they downsized from a three-bedroom home with a basement to a two-bedroom apartment, she went from having a full office with a closet to working from their bedroom at a small folding table that she keeps under their bed when she's not working.

In this episode, Paul shares a message about the importance of self-care for those who work from home and feels that self-care requires discipline in 3 main areas: Sleep/rest, exercise/diet, and relationships. He talks about the various "circles of love" in one's life representing the different levels of relationships and how to know when it's time to take a step back from certain kinds of relationships, including cutting out toxic people in order to work on time and stress management.

Paul describes himself as the No B.S. Workforce Performance Coach, a "recovering trial lawyer," an ex-felon, an unabashed Starbucks addict, a Chicago Bears fanatic, an online course creator, a speaker on business and leadership topics, and a member of the Forbes Coaching Council. He has a presentation entitled "Everyone Needs a Fool in Their Life," referring to the concept of a king having a jester in his court as a kind of advisor who could openly challenge decisions the king would make in a way that others couldn't. Once he got out of prison, Paul took stock of what skills he had and became a performance coach as he feels that, had he listened to someone willing to share truth, it would have changed the trajectory he was on for a while when he ended up starting from scratch after losing his ability to work as a lawyer. Paul is the author of WorkQuake™, a book that came out before its time but is especially relevant now. It can be found on Amazon.

Initially, when he started working from home five days a week, Andrew's productivity was through the roof; because there were some extra fires to put out at work, and, since he didn't need to spend two hours on the road, he got more done on the computer and was catching up on things throughout the evening as well. However, that eventually led to burnout; so, he and the rest of his team have been trying to be more diligent with managing their work schedule, and many shifted their hours slightly earlier as well so they can get off work early enough to still run errands before places close. Andrew primarily utilizes the former commute time for activities such as exercising or chores around the house, and he tries to make time to be intentional about including movement throughout the day, whether it's chair yoga from the office or taking a walk around the neighborhood for a lunch break away from the computer.

In this episode, Andrew shared how he likes to keep his work tasks and household tasks separate. His wife is back to work onsite, so he's home alone with their pets throughout the day. He uses a task organization app to help keep track of things he wants to get done at the house when he has availability, setting reminders to get started on certain things outside of his working hours. As an extrovert looking to maintain some in-person interaction, he's been also setting aside time with friends who are vaccinated after the workday is done.

In this episode, Megan talks about several elements of Feng Shui that go beyond simply placing furniture in a pleasing manner. She talks about how people generally go home to rest and recharge, eat, and sleep. When someone needs to be productive and active in that same space, there are certain things they can consider as they set up a dedicated work space. Megan provides those who are new to feng shui a deeper look into its fundamental principles, considering things that affect all five senses. Megan created a digital product "Getting in Command, Change Your Life!" and offers video consultations on making your work-from-home life productive, efficient, and full of energy.

In this episode, Chris talks about how he's been renovating his home in London for 4 years. When he's not working from home; and recently he's been eating, sleeping, and working from the same room as he makes a big push to the finish line to get the biggest projects done sooner than later. He talks about how the renovations have affected his ability to cook and exercise so hoping to finish soon so that not only will he and his wife have a dust-free house again, but he's also looking forward to dedicating more of his time to starting a new business relating to automating things in hotels.

Chris coaches and consults and discusses technology with other tech experts, though the teams he's worked with aren't necessarily all home-based. However, even before video conferencing was common, he was experienced in connecting with teams from remote locations around the world, sometimes an entire conference room of people connecting with another conference room. Now, the dynamics are somewhat different as people are logging in from home. In That Tech Show podcast, they often talk about working from home as we all figure out how to deliver the technology in a post-pandemic world.

In this episode, Katie shares how she spends time leading her team as well as communicating with clients directly and is on Zoom a fair amount. As someone who is mindful of how she presents herself on camera, she didn't usually divulge that she was working from a home office but appreciates that it's become normalized as of late. She was able to set up her office in a portion of her basement and decorated the background where she takes her calls with shelving, books, and a chair with a decorative pillow.

Katie has a 14-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter, who have typically been in summer camps or school while she's working, though she was able to adjust her workflow and schedule somewhat during the pandemic to accommodate sharing homeschooling along with her co-parent. Her team is in a season of growth, and she talked about how there needs to be an open conversation with an employer around expectations relating to remote work, especially around issues such as childcare. When she's not working, Katie enjoys traveling and running with her group of local moms.

In this episode, Elissa speaks about her past and present experience working corporate jobs, how she transitioned to working from home, and she lays out some of her experience as a serial entrepreneur. While earning her bachelor's degree, she started her career in investor relations, working full time at a small agency and then, after graduating, working in communications and investor relations for a small B2B e-commerce company. She moved to work at a larger investor relations agency before transitioning to strategy consulting. While working full-time by day in construction rental fleet and enterprise valuation, Elissa earned her MBA at night. Later, she managed and led financial planning and analysis teams. In 2015, while working full-time, Elissa also co-founded the Skid Row Spa, a volunteer project that resulted in the Refresh Spot, a publicly funded, 24-hour hygiene center for people living outside in downtown LA.

Elissa talks about how prioritizing exercise every day has been really important for her physical health and focus, and she loves her Pelaton and the Peloton app as well and doesn't mind taking a call while on a walk around the neighborhood as walking and talking is her favorite way to hold catch up and networking conversations. She also shares about how she's been exploring different ways to do her shopping and trying out meal delivery services. During the heat of the pandemic, she and her family tried many different services but landed on a balance with a weekly grocery order delivered by the local market weekly and one meal planning (recipe and ingredients) delivery a week for four meals. She finds that this is the right blend of convenience, cooking, health, and quality; because she discovered, by trying delivery of fully-cooked meals, that the ritual of listening to jazz or folk or whatever happy music, after lighting a candle while cooking for her family makes for a happy bookend to the workday.

Elissa enjoys mentoring first-time founders and strategizing on start-up financial models. She also volunteers as a finance consultant for her church and is excited to lead the local elementary school's book fair in Spring 2022!

During the heat of the pandemic, she and her family tried many different services but landed on a balance with a weekly grocery order delivered by the local market weekly and one meal planning (recipe and ingredients) delivery a week for four meals. She finds that this is the right blend of convenience, cooking, health, and quality; because she discovered, by trying delivery of fully-cooked meals, that the ritual of listening to jazz or folk or whatever happy music, after lighting a candle while cooking for her family makes for a happy bookend to the workday.

Elissa enjoys mentoring first-time founders and strategizing on start-up financial models. She also volunteers as a finance consultant for her church and is excited to lead the local elementary school's book fair in Spring 2022!

Tina launched Trouvailles, a bi-monthly travel subscription box, last year during the pandemic. In March 2020, when pandemic lockdowns began, Tina was preparing to go on year-long maternity leave. Shocked by the mass travel shutdowns worldwide, she began to think of a safe way to bring authentic travel experiences directly to people's homes. As she had more time on her hands, she found herself researching and creating a detailed business plan, all on her phone while holding a sleeping or nursing baby. By October, she had launched a fast-growing innovative subscription box service that delivers a curation of authentic imported foods and lifestyle products from new destinations every two months. Now, a year later, it has been named amongst the "Best Travel Gifts of 2021" by Air Canada's enRoute magazine.

In this episode, Tina speaks about how, over the course of her 8 years with her previous company, she experienced working remotely, working onsite, and a hybrid of each before entering into the lockdown stage of the pandemic where many colleagues ended up working remotely unexpectedly and how that affected some who had worked remotely for some time. For the past year, she was continuing to work her full-time job in addition to launching the subscription box company, and as of October 2021, she was able to resign from her previous job and took on a part-time position with a company out of the UK. She talks about some of the struggles and freedoms she’s experienced and some creative ways she was able to keep a two-year-old happy and busy while attending zoom meetings during a season when their daycare was closed.

In this episode, Carol shares how she's been able to connect with others through laughter yoga, even online through Zoom. Getting down on all fours and baa-ing like a sheep is a great way to set the mood and lighten the atmosphere to help people move into deeper laughter and the feel-good hormones that come with it, even for those who might not initially feel like laughing. She also talks about the importance of celebrating small wins by taking mini-breaks about 2 minutes long. Carol feels that adopting an attitude of wonder can be life-changing, and she encourages others to ask questions that start with phrases such as "I wonder what would happen if..." and "I wonder how I can..."

Carol and her co-creator, Casey Davis, wrote guidebooks for Wonder Uprising and host workshops in person and online together. They offer mentoring and classes where people can reflect, consider, and unfurl a wider and deeper wondering. Carol works the majority of the time as a solopreneur and loves to mentor people who feel disconnected from parts of themselves and are looking for greater well-being through reconnecting.

If you'd like to reach Carol, she can be found through her website:

In this episode, Jennie talks about how she spent 16 years with a company and kept busy with a number of projects in a tech marketing, learning/development field roll, software project manager, kind of a jack of all trades. She ran a sales team and customer service group, supported hundreds of sales reps, did a big migration of data, and did some big launches. However, she recently chose to change paths and start a consulting firm. Jennie describes herself as passionate about connecting users with the software that makes doing what they do possible, well-rounded experience in software product management, project management, accounting, and marketing. She's currently working on finishing up degrees in instructional systems technology and adult education at Indiana University.

Jennie also shares about some of the ups and downs of traveling away from her family for several weeks last spring, moving, what it was like trying to find in-home help for her kids, how her husband ended up taking over her office at one point, and some of the ways she combats a desire to work longer and longer hours to keep her family as her first priority. Her former colleagues knew her as Jennifer Whitt, but as she is transitioning into her new consultant role with new clients, she's embracing her preferred nickname and owning it.

In this episode, Louise talks about her own minimalistic home office in what was the mud room area of their townhome. She has divided some of her working hours between a part-time administrative assistant job and her professional organizing work. With the decluttering business, she originally was spending about 70% of her time working directly with her clients and about 30% of her time on her own administrative paperwork at home; but with the pandemic and pivoting and all of the things that have changed in the past year and a half, she has flipped to doing more like 70-80% of her work from her home, taking on more of a coaching and training role, motivating people to work on their own belongings by helping them address the psychological ties they have to their stuff. She teaches about other time-saving strategies such as meal prepping and setting up routines and daily habits so that things don't pile up when life throws a curveball. Louise has a Podcast called Inspiring Calm.

In this episode, Jan shares that her career goal as a child and teenager had always been teaching; but, when it came time to do an internship, she quickly realized that she didn't feel that she had the stamina to be the kind of teacher she wanted to be. A series of temporary jobs led eventually to part-time work alongside her husband, doing outreach and web design; and when her first child was born, so was Sleeping Baby Productions. In the beginning, she was working part time doing freelance web design, and productivity was possible only when the baby was sleeping; but wearing her homemade carriers in town, Jan saw interest in her ring slings and started sewing them on the side. It wasn't until a couple of years after TheBabyWearer [dot] com (a website and forum devoted to different styles of baby carriers, a market largely dominated by work-at-home parents in the mid-2000s) went online that the custom sling business really took off. Once it did, it was an uphill trajectory through the height of the market in 2014. At that point, Jan would open the store once every three to four weeks, take in 300 orders in a couple of hours, and then close until she'd sewn through those. She talks about those years as being overwhelmingly busy at times, where her kids would play in the backyard where she could watch and talk to them through the window next to her sewing machine.

Fast forward to 2021, as the baby carrier industry has evolved, sales are now going mainly to mass-produced and -marketed carriers, with work-at-home parents making up only a tiny fraction of the customer base at this point. As the handmade babywearing market is slowing down (and expenses related to safety testing for baby-related items and business insurance have increased), Jan feels that it seems like a good time to leave the industry for something else. She's pursuing some part-time work again, helping underserved children have better access to STEM education; however, she's still on a quest to find something again that would feel as meaningful as empowering families to hold their babies close. She's starting to clean up her sewing room/workspace and sewing her slings with her remaining inventory but transitioning most of her fabric stash to quilting fabric for face masks which she continues to make and sell online. She will be keeping her Facebook group, but her Sleeping Baby website might eventually get shut down. However, Jan doesn't plan to stop sewing any time soon, and she's dabbling in other crafts and creations, so you can look for her under the future site and/or on social media under Jan Andrea Handmade to see what she's up to next.

Our podcast is now live on Apple Podcast, Spotify,]]>Jan Heirtzler has been sewing ring slings for babywearing families for 20 years out of Durham, New Hampshire. She is well known among certain pockets of the babywearing community, and her company Sleeping Baby Productions was considered by many to be the gold standard for handcrafted ring slings. She was busy sewing 40+ hours a week for a few years; however, things have slowed down, and she's ready to consider her next adventure. Jan has announced that she will be changing gears and closing the chapter on her sling business by the end of 2021, and she was willing to share her story about what she's been up to most recently (which includes making a lot of face masks).

In this episode, Mark shares about some of the renovation projects in their new home, how they're currently using a kitchenette that's part of his above-garage office space while redoing their main kitchen. He and Sam are preparing to expand their family soon so found a home that would have enough bedrooms and still allow them to maintain separate offices as their roles in their company are very different. Mark has gone back and forth from working from his home office and a more formal office setting as well as a hybrid for much of his working career, even more recently; but he's currently exploring the pros and cons of keeping his office and podcast studio space versus having his team meet up in other locations as needed for collaboration as they all primarily work remotely for the time being.

Mark and Sam have traveled quite a bit, especially right before the pandemic, networking and collaborating with other podcast experts in the States and other places around the globe. He has personally recorded over 1200 podcast episodes and was recording out and about as he traveled, and he talked about some of the gear he has used for years and has access to in his recording studio. He's currently recording a podcast about Star Wars as well as The Podcast Accelerator, where he talks about all things relating to growing and monetizing your podcast.

In this episode, Christy and Kevin talk about how they set their own space and time boundaries to work on managing their work-life balance. As a married couple with different work roles, personalities, and habits, they work as a team but have opted to keep separate work spaces so that they can conduct client consults without disturbing each other. Kevin moved out of the bedroom home office as he found himself grabbing the laptop and starting on work even before getting up for the day. Christy stays at a desk in the bedroom but chooses to not answer emails outside of her working hours which are 7am-3pm. Between the two of them, they have 6 children, 4 dogs, and 2 cats; so they also have a lot of family and household responsibilities. However, now that they have a new driver, they are enjoying the luxury of not having to run the kids to school and can focus more time toward their business and athletic ventures. Christy is a triathlon athlete, and Mark is an ultra runner. The idea of finding a great cadence, like in a run, helped influence the name of their company; and they have found that talking about their hobbies and even displaying Christy's bike in the background of her calls has helped them to be more relatable and build relationship with their clients.

At this point, Christy and Kevin are the face of the company, meeting with their clients virtually, and their team works with them on the more technical skills in the background. Christy describes herself as the digital strategy architect, managing member, and account manager, and Kevin has several overlapping roles and skills of his own. As they grow and scale, they are on the lookout for team members who truly care about the people who are their clients who might be able to take on more of the sales responsibilities.

If you work from home as an remote work/teleworking employee, freelancer,]]>Christy Olsen and Kevin McLauchlin are the founders and managers of Cadence SEO, a search engine optimization and marketing company based out of the Phoenix East Valley in Gilbert, Arizona. They have a growing remote team and have chosen to attract high-quality W2 employees by offering competitive benefits including health, dental, and even a gym membership with the added bonus of allowing their employees a flexible work schedule. This is a somewhat unique approach for a company of their size, as a lot of similar companies might hire independent contractors; but Cadence SEO wanted to attract the best of the best workers and offer some of the same types of benefits employees might receive at a larger corporation.

In this episode, Willow talks about how she originally spent time traveling around Arizona as an in-home dog and house sitter but started focusing on working out of her own home boarding 2-7 dogs at a time in more recent years since the birth of her daughter a couple of years ago. Her work is largely seasonal as the demand for dog boarding depends on people going out of town; so she's busiest during the summer and holiday season. She speaks about how caring for dogs 24/7 really does keep her at home or close to home all of the time and how different dogs of a variety of ages demand a certain amount of energy and care, even in the overnight hours. She trains and boards dogs in her home and talks a bit about the limitations she has with the heat of the summer limiting her to walking dogs just in the early morning hours but also some of the freedoms she's found with traveling with some of her longer-term canine guests such as taking them along on hiking trips and visits to go see the snow. She's working on bettering her work-life balance by starting to schedule some time off here and there in order to stave off burnout as she started to experience some of that when she went many months with a lot of very early mornings and late nights. In the same sense, she loves being able to care for dogs as she's studying and caring for her own child but recognizes that it can be isolating work as it's more difficult to host gatherings and game nights when she has a house full of dogs. Willow's future dream and plan is to eventually have more land where she could have a bigger facility with lots of options, a place where she can combine her work and hobbies.

If you'd like to reach Willow, you can currently search for her in the Gilbert, Arizona, region on the Rover website, through Facebook messenger, or by sending her an email. A website is forthcoming.

Sarah unexpectedly started working in the solar industry about 4 years ago as a friend suggested she apply for a job with them, and she started working in residential solar with a small company and learned a lot throughout the process. Eventually, though, she felt drained from constantly being essentially on call and working long hours. Then the pandemic hit, and everyone was sent to work from home, and she was worried she would hate working remotely but quickly started to love the freedom to get her work done yet still run a load of laundry or help her kids focus at online school by keeping an eye on them. 

More recently, Sarah transitioned to a different company and took a project specialist position at the aforementioned inverter company, where she works closely with engineers and field technicians. She very rarely needs to go onsite unless she wants to meet a new customer. The position was work from home regardless of covid, and Sarah said it took a few months to find that she loved working from home. In her new position, she now works for an amazing company doing what she loves without the stress of a commute, home with her kids, and a schedule that is flexible enough that she can run and drop off and pick up her kids.

In this episode, Kit shares about some of the equipment he’s been using in his home office and discusses the difference between some different types of microphones used for recording podcasts and the like. He and his wife have a teenager and twin preschoolers in the house, so noise-canceling technology is of special interest these days. He also talks about supply chain issues contributing to shortages in materials needed for building computer monitors and other components for computers and other electronic equipment. Kit’s band, The Donny Grubb Band, is back to performing again.

Colleen has been working from home now for 18 years and, like many entrepreneurs, has had to learn how to be her own tech help, learning new skills as well as troubleshoot her own technical difficulties. In this episode, Colleen talks about her recent experience with having her computer factory reset and the painful experience of realizing that not all files were backing up to the cloud as she thought they were and having files recovered off of her computer but then dumped all into one folder. We talk about backing up documents and some of the humbling lessons we've both experienced as we each had a similar experience this past week with needing to get caught up to speed again with everything after wiping our computers and starting fresh again. Although we've both been working from home for some time, it's sometimes easy to get comfortable and stop doing the important maintenance required to keep computers running.

Colleen just released a new book called Step into the Spotlight to Expand Your Influence and Attract the Right Clients, available on Amazon for Kindle.

In this episode, Ibrahim speaks about the decline of offices and how working from home will soon become just “work.” He currently works with executives and knows that this shift is being talked about at the highest level, and those of us who are working from home is on the cutting edge of the evolution of work culture.

When it comes to being more confident, Ibrahim also talks about embracing being fun and using charisma to attract people to you. This is one of the topics that he writes about, helping people learn how to cultivate personal magnetism and improve their social status. He writes about being magnetic in his book, Charm Like a Narcissist, which is available as a free gift from Ibrahim on his website. The book is an interesting perspective on learning how to foster some of the positive traits that a narcissist might do accidentally, adding in the self/awareness most people have, and separating them from some of the more toxic traits and behaviors. As a professional speaker, Ibrahim talks about attracting attention, building a narrative, and creating connections. His words have reached over 2 million people, with 18,000 consuming his content on a regular basis. Even so, Ibrahim has turned off his social media sites and can be contacted by signing up for his newsletter and replying to an email sent to you.

In this episode, Derrick shares how he was able to go from working for multiple bands and filing up to nine 1099 forms in a year to switching everything in this past year to his podcasting company. He has a team of people working from across four time zones, and they now support podcasters all around the globe, starting with the process of designing and launching a podcast, generating the necessary art, as well as weekly audio and video editing, transcription, and writing show notes. Derrick is also the host of his own podcast about podcasting, Podlogix. Overall, he is primarily focused on the customer-facing aspect of his business and is offering a 15-minute call to anyone who is interested in learning more.

Before the pandemic grounded him, Derrick enjoyed getting out to local coffee ships and said he actually started Shelby Row Productions from a local Panera restaurant, doing his editing with a good set of headphones. However, with the pandemic, he has been able to do the majority of his work from a corner in his bedroom, using a backdrop to hide his bed for his video meetings. He likes to get up and stretch and work from his bar-height table in the kitchen and spends a lot of time pacing around as he's thinking and working. Finding a few different spots around his apartment and getting out here and there to see other humans while he's working has helped him settle into the new lifestyle.

Reena comes from a background where she spent years in the office doing marketing, sales, and business development for Google, Reebok, and several other large companies.

Today, she serves companies, nonprofits, universities, schools, and the media through Passion Fit products, services, and content on fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and work-life balance. Some of her tips involve communicating and setting boundaries at home and at work, keeping a calendar and color-coding different activities to manage your day, taking breaks, moving your body, and more. Reena's book, online course, coaching and consulting services, speaking engagements, workshops, retreats, and online content from her blog and YouTube channel can appeal to people who do or want to work from home.

She is the founder and CEO of Passion Fit™ as well as a TEDx speaker, media spokesperson, certified wellness expert, personal and professional development coach and consultant, content creator, and marketer. In this episode, Reena talks about how she is always striving for work-life balance, especially after experiencing burnout from previously working in corporate America/tech/Silicon Valley for so many years and because of her focus with her company on work-life balance with clients and organizations. Reena acknowledges that, to this day, it's not always perfect, things can get busy, especially with parenting her two boys plus their recent move and a book launch; but she always tries to get back into a good balance again. She's passionate about having the ability to work from home in order to have more flexibility, work-life balance, and time to focus on one's health and wellbeing. This is a key part of the work she does through Passion Fit™ and also is a big topic in her new book, The Wellness-Empowered Woman™.

In this episode, Gaby speaks about her experience of moving from a small dorm room in London to sharing an apartment with others in NYC, including others who were working from home. There, she spent a lot of time working directly from her bed while working on editing images and her marketing when she was between photo shoots. She was working with the space that she had, with her photography equipment all around her bedroom. Now, in Texas, she has two roommates, including her boyfriend whose room/home office is just across the hall. Even though they work in entirely different fields, they can coordinate their lunches together and pop in and chat for a few moments in a way that a lot of people miss from being in an office setting. She has a little bit more space in this room. As someone who enjoys a peaceful environment, she is happy with how she's been able to decorate and use her space so that one-half of her room is dedicated toward her desk and workspace as well as neatly storing her work equipment, and the other half for her personal items. Gaby and her boyfriend are enjoying the freedom they have with their work-from-home lifestyle and anticipate continuing to relocate approximately every two years.

Gaby studied abroad in London for a couple of years learning fashion photography and then spent another two years in New York City. She has specialized in concert photography and is now exploring wedding photography and some other markets; however, her main focus has been a series she has done with local businesswomen, first in New York, and most recently in Texas. She decided she wanted to network and learn from female founders and entrepreneurs; so, in exchange for them answering some questions and sharing business tips, she offered them a portrait they could use in their own marketing and promotional materials. The project took off, and dozens of women allowed Gaby to photograph them. Fortunately, just one week before the pandemic essentially shut down the city of New York, Gaby was able to host a networking event where she brought all of these women together and displayed over 50 of their portraits. She has since relocated to Texas and is working on her next set of images with her new local community in a project called #BadassWomenATX.

In this episode, Gaby speaks about her experience of moving from a small dorm room in London to sharing an apartment with others in NYC, including others who were working from home.

In this episode, David talks about how he left his high-stress career and started writing books, first on strategies for the casino game craps, some novels, and now three books on healthy sustainable weight loss. He has done coaching with clients in person, on the phone, and online; but at this time, he is primarily pouring his wisdom into his books and hoping that the simple stories and easy-to-remember tips will truly help people. David shares some tips also for people who work from home now because of COVID-19 or other reasons and need to learn how to handle being around food and other distractions all day. Anyone interested in his books can find them by searching his name in Amazon and keep an eye out for his third book - Break the Chains of Dieting coming out in November.

Several years ago, he had a doctor who told him he either needed to make some healthy changes or get a new doctor; and that was the start of his own weight-loss journey. David speaks about his experience with a sudden diet change and some of the ups and downs associated with that and how it led him to do additional research on the topic, comparing new and old literature. In the end, David wrote a book as he was inspired to share with others how to improve their eating habits so they can lose weight, have more energy, feel better, look better, and be healthier without going on a diet. David teaches how to eat healthier without needing to buy expensive meals, supplements, or products and without having to follow an exercise program or count calories. His latest book that will be forthcoming in November is filled with stories and anecdotes designed to help change the narrative people have running in their heads, taking negative thoughts and habits and switching them out for positive affirmations and declarations which, in turn, help with the mental battle of making good choices without needing to buy expensive meals, supplements, or products and without having to follow an exercise program or count calories.

In this episode, David talks about how he left his high-stress career and started writing books, first on strategies for the casino game craps, some novels, and now three books on healthy sustainable weight loss.

As Vicki went to sell her physical products online, she experienced first-hand how difficult and confusing the product creation process can be, especially when it comes to competing with people who have more experience on sites such as Amazon. Through her blog, people started reaching out to her with questions. She enjoyed helping others who were on a similar journey; so, at one point, her husband pointed out that she was sharing a lot of time and knowledge with others and might consider going into that as another business as well, which is how Vicki Weinberg Product Creation was created. She now offers consultation to anyone else who wants to create and sell their own physical products (or sell more of them), and she finds that her clients are generally moms who want to work from home to be closer to their children. As for her own online business, she's been able to work with a warehouse to handle the orders of her bamboo baby products so she can turn her focus on offering support for anyone who wants to create their products to sell. She's also been able to adjust her working schedule somewhat as her kids are getting a little bit older and have gone through a few different office spaces in their home, including quite a while at the kitchen table but are now in a room again where she can hang out most of the day with their sleepy dog.

Vicki does have an online course, and those who might be interested in learning more about selling physical products on their own website, Amazon, or other places can reach out to her for more information. You can also listen to her podcast, Bring Your Product Ideas to Life podcast.

Find out more about our]]>Vicki Weinberg, of Kent, UK, originally started on the corporate side; but, after pregnancy and the difficult postpartum period, she deliberately set out not to go back to employment and wanted to find a way to work from home, earn decent money, and work around her children. She has been working from home now for 7 years in several different capacities and shares in this episode about her work-from-home journey started as a children's yoga instructor. She joined a franchise and thought that she would just be going out to studios and schools to teach yoga classes but underestimated the amount of time she would spend working from home on invoicing, marketing, etc. So, when she was on maternity leave with her second child, she moved on and started a small UK-based brand of premium bamboo baby products called Tiny Chipmunk and started a blog at the same time to document the process of starting her online store.

In this episode, Katherine shares how she has most recently been working with a lot of non-profits; but, with the changes related to the pandemic, she went from teaching and training leaders and managers in-person to utilizing virtual platforms for everything. She has found that, although the bells and whistles of some tools such as Zoom seem like they would help build engagement, she's learned that the majority of the people she's encountered prefer to keep things simple as they were more likely to become lost when too many external links or features are added. Katherine is just now beginning to resume traveling for speaking engagements and is curious to see how many conferences will continue to also offer virtual options going forward.

In this episode, April shares that she also sometimes feels awkward when talking with people for the first time, but sometimes it takes someone with a willingness to break the ice and start a conversation. Sometimes, these conversations will blossom into a friendship, but not always. It usually takes time to really know people, but if you're new to an area, there are often other new people who are looking for friends; and tapping the locals for great tips for the best places to eat and hike and spend time is a good conversation starter. April feels that one of the best ways to stay connected while working from home is to join a group of some sort surrounding a hobby or interest and attend regular weekly or monthly meetings. This could be a Meetup group, Toastmasters, a group for singles, a knitting club, a book club, a sports team, or an online social group. It doesn't have to be work-related or coordinated with coworkers, though if someone feels that it would be beneficial to do something social with coworkers, they can always be the person to start something. The key is being consistent and keeping an eye out for those who look like they might be open for some friendly conversation. Facebook groups are also a great resource for people who work from home, especially if the group has in-person components as well as the ongoing connection online. If you need more ideas about how to find more social connections in your current situation, feel free to reach out to April for a conversation to brainstorm some ideas.

Find out more about our host, April Malone, and Yes, I...]]>April Malone does a solo episode where she talks about some of the ways that she has combatted the social isolation that can come with working from home. She shares some of the ways that she's been able to make new friends, even while working from home for 13 years through different stages of life, as a single, newly married, and as a mom with young children. When April first started working from home in 2008, she had just moved out of state and was living from home. In order to get out of the house, she started taking a pottery class nearby. She didn't find any long-lasting friendships there, but the act of showing up week after week with the same people gave her a reason to get out of the house and an opportunity for conversation, and it was a good start. She ended up finding a community of people through a local church that was pretty socially active, with some planned events through the church and then several other things that she joined or started. She hosted a movie night and monthly dinner parties, and people started to come more and more consistently. When she moved out of state once again, she had a new baby and either started or joined a few groups with local moms or families in the area. In a third out-of-state move, with the older kids, she had kids in school and started meeting the parents of other kids in the school.

Lara and Carrie and an assistant work primarily out of an office in Lara's home, but the two of them do go back and forth down the street between the two houses quite a bit. They prioritize family time when their kids or grandkids are home or need them, and work things out between the two of them if someone needs to be off for a day. When asked about how they communicate information, they talk about how they go back and forth checking things out in Adobe InDesign as well as use airdrop and their Apple products to share work easily with one another as well as between their own devices. For those who are somewhat unfamiliar with some of the different publishing options, they also talk a bit about the differences between vanity publishing, self-publishing, more traditional publishing houses, and some of the ways they have built a community directly with their authors and illustrators.

In this episode, Nicki talks about her own work situation, how she has embraced the energy that she has in the early mornings to focus her productivity on her most important tasks first thing in the morning, as that is what she has learned works best for her. She also delves into the skills that copy editors need to develop and explains that certificates don’t really have a place in this industry. She breaks down the difference between copywriting, copyediting, content writing, proofreading, and the relationship copywriters have with graphic designers. Nicki also coaches freelancers who work outside of the copywriting realm in some of the more general skills that they can apply to their business as well through another part of her business, Fired Up Freelance. She offers different levels of support, free and paid, for those who are interested in making a career out of copywriting.

In this episode, Emily shares how her years of travel, working different jobs in different countries and even working through a few immigrations has helped her develop a skill set that allows her to help guide others who are nearing retirement as well as those who want to move and continue working to find a destination. For instance, Emily talks about how it's important for people who want to live abroad to think through things beyond simply obtaining visas, but there's also tax preparation, learning the local language, and finding safe places to live. She works out a personalized plan with her clients based on customer budget, personal preferences, desired lifestyle, and helps connect them with reliable local professionals abroad so they can find the best place for life, work, and even retirement overseas.

Julia is now focusing on her transformational coaching with an emphasis on mindset and manifestation and is in live calls with her clients every other week. She says that she loves showing people what's possible, especially alternative lifestyles and work situations like the one she's been able to achieve. For instance, she's often traveling five to six months out of the year. When Julia and her husband are traveling in their camper van/RV or internationally, she sticks to a more minimal schedule to maintain things; but when she is at their home base, she puts in more time working on building and growing her business. Therefore, her hours vary from 5-40 hours per week depending on what season of business she's in, designing her work schedule around her travel.

Julia is hosting a manifestation bootcamp June 15-17, 2021. You can learn more about it here: https://www.manifestationbootcamp.net/

In this episode, Julia shares about how she went from working full time in an office setting for an employer to slowly transitioning some of her hours to remote work to eventually starting her own online businesses by doing freelance work. A few years ago, Julia had a life-altering event that caused her to reevaluate her business priorities, including how she spent her energy, and made some changes in how she managed her time. She had two businesses selling physical products, sold one of the business, and set up drop shipping for the other one, so it has been a source of passive income for her. This has freed her up to spend more time on the road and with loved ones.

One of the strategies Krisna has loved in her personal life is what she calls the 24-Hour Mom Break, and she tells about how she and her husband were able to enlist the help of their support network so that she could periodically reset and refocus. She now teaches other mothers how they can implement this into their lives. Krisna started My Parenting Partners about two years ago, and this is a company that specializes in giving parents back time by connecting families to professionals that can help with day to day tasks in their personal life or in their business. In addition to providing coaching, Krisna has also written the E-book C.R.O.S.S. Into Balance that focuses on helping mothers create balance within their homes.

April and Justin actually met in a Focusmate session as he was preparing for a presentation later in the week, a pitch about his new project; and April was working on her podcast show notes. For those who are unfamiliar, Focusmate is an online accountability tool where two people are semi-randomly assigned for a video chat where they each take a moment to state a goal for their 50-minute session and then discuss whether or not they finished their task at the end of the session. This has been, by far, Justin's favorite productivity tool for the past two years, and using it helped him realize he could get a lot done at home, so he eventually stopped using the coworking space.

In the past, Justin studied physics and astrophysics and then helped startups like Beats Music (later Apple), Polaroid, and Hustle strengthen their software engineering services. As such, he has a lot of interest in some of the up-and-coming apps and online tools on the market as well as connections in those spaces; and he shares about several others, in addition to Focusmate, that he's testing out or keeping an eye on.

He's often running personal growth experiments, and in the past year decided that he wanted to improve his sales and marketing skills and has built 24-Hour Homepage, a website where visitors see one clickable image for the current second of the day. It's like a big, 24-hour GIF or art project that will live online forever that he is selling one second at a time.

Originally from Perth, Australia, she's spent several years working corporate jobs in Canada and the UK; but, now that she's able to work from anywhere, they've been able to see the world and decided to settle semi-permanently in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. In this session, Gail shares her personal strategies for working from home which include things such as starting off the day by spending time walking out in nature, electronics-free, so that she can clear her mind and set her intention for the day. Gail says that she works the hours she wants, typically over a four-day week with a three-day weekend. Thankfully, she had moved most of her communication to an online format before the pandemic hit, even with a lot of her local contacts, so that was already in place before everyone else had to go remote as well.

Fast forward to now, she has been a guest on over 100 podcasts and is also the host of her own podcast No One’s Ever Asked Me That.

Ali is currently working full time with her co-author on their upcoming book Remote Works Book. She has been recognized as an expert on working remotely and is accustomed to speaking with management-level people about ways that they can make a work-from-home culture more attractive and sustainable for a team. She also has advice for people who would like to advocate for themselves when they would prefer to remain in a home office when others are beginning to return to their workplace. In our interview, Ali chats a bit about the digital nomad lifestyle and how she has personally handled things such as ergonomics and navigating a new city when she doesn't know the language. She is still traveling a few weeks here and there for her work, including some upcoming workshops for digital nomads with children.

In this episode, Rael shares about how he is often recording training videos; so, during the pandemic, he brought all of his equipment, such as his green screen, home to set up his recording studio in his home office and also did a fair amount of work outside on his back patio area when the weather was nice. However, he prefers to do his audio recordings at home and video work back at his onsite location. We talk about how more and more people are wanting a home office and how that is affecting the housing market at this time, how some people have longer commutes now that they've moved from the city, but at the same time more and more people are able to work from home a few days a week. Rael has some great insight into the restlessness that some people have with working from home and some ways to help fight isolation as they shift their work location.

Ute is the author of the book “How to create a successful remote work culture.” She was able to take her years of experience working with clients of different levels in the corporate setting and some of the things that she witnessed and learned about how they think to create three different avatars for the book that she wrote once she returned to her home in Germany in late 2020, someone from upper management, mid-management, and the team level. In her book, these avatars represent people from different walks of life and help walk people through a model she dubbed as the PPAS Maturity Model®. Ute is well versed in working with people in the international workplace and is devoted to helping individuals, teams, and businesses to thrive.

In this episode, Tracy shares about her desire to travel again once the borders open up again and how she has been able to take her work with her on the road in the past. Tracy spends long hours working every day, but she says she wouldn’t trade it at this point, because she has found work that she’s truly passionate about with enough variety to keep it interesting; and she’s developed to-do lists and calendars that work for her. As a publicist, she understands the importance of branding and exposure and has enjoyed the exposure and connections she’s gotten from being a guest on a wide variety of shows, including TV, radio, and podcasts. She loves to share her message of leadership, empowerment, and entrepreneurship as well as all aspects of media and public relations.

In this episode, April Malone and Brigette talk about what it means to take care of yourself, even when you're working hard from home, including keeping hydrated and giving yourself permission to take bathroom breaks when highly focused. Brigette shares about her morning routine that helps her be more productive during the day. She also touches on some of her home office setup that includes bringing her podcast equipment into a closet for recording and experimenting with different locations in her home and the importance of sunlight and calling it a day when an uncomfortable chair reminds Brigette to get up and be present and in the moment again with her family.

Joe shares how he transitioned from working in a call center job in Lima to working from his apartment and some of the challenges he has with sourcing his tech equipment in a part of the world that has the Amazon Rainforest and Amazon River but not so much Amazon Prime. April has also been to Peru in the past, so they chat about some experiences traveling and dining in Peru. 

Joe and April talk about some of the ups and downs of teaching online during the pandemic. For anyone interested in using their English skills to teach ESL, Joe was invited to help create a training course for ESL teachers through the International Open Academy and feels that project went quite well and recommends it as a good starting point for people who are interested in teaching online. They also discuss how it's helpful to have more than one stream of income these days as there are seasonal changes in demand for ESL teachers as well as changing requirements for eligibility. 

Joe can be found on his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/JoeMilneEnglish

Joe was one of the contributors for a course called Make Money Teaching English Online.

In this episode, April and Dan talk about how some entrepreneurs and small business owners might not be aware of some of the security risks that email can pose. On the contrary, employees of larger corporations might have more protections in place, including having attachments scanned for viruses or campaigns and trainings around the topic of email security such as phishing awareness. Dan breaks down several different measures that peope who work from home can put into practice to keep their computer, their data, and their company more safe to avoid becoming an entry point for a data breach. These include things such as hardwiring as often as possible, keeping work and personal tasks separate, not opening personal emails on a work computer, and using strong passwords as well as multi-factor authentication, etc.

April and Rachelle met in a networking portion of an online conference, and April met with Rachelle virtually a few weeks later for a "tech breakthrough session" where they were able to talk about which products and services April was interested in working with after deliberating over the choices for several months. They settled on using a lesser known site called Simplero for hosting her website and some of the other projects, courses, and membership options for Yes, I Work From Home that are coming soon. The conversation focuses a lot on some different ways female entrepreneurs and small business owners in general can work to avoid getting to the point of overwhelm through things like automating scheduling and some email responders and such by freeing up more time for other tasks or time for self care or family.

Find out more about our host, April Malone, and Yes, I Work From Home at our website Rachelle Deem is an automation and integration specialist from Australia who specializes in helping female entrepreneurs put some of the more mundane or manual tasks of their day-to-day work on autopilot in order to free up more time to scale their business. She's very well versed in many of the course creation all-in-one portals as she helps clients as they transfer from one to another and integrate different pieces together. In this episode, Rachelle shares how she was able to very gradually switch over from her desk job of 25 years to working from home as a virtual assistant on her own schedule after she had her sixth child. She's moved her home office around to different parts of her house and has also moved into more of a consulting role as she is building a team to help as she scales her own business. She divides her week into two parts, three days where she's working in her business, like an employee, and two days where she's focusing on her own self care as well as working on more of the big picture aspects of her business as the CEO.

In fact, he spends a lot of his time working with first-time or non-technical founders. In this episode, Trevor shares how, even though he's creating digital products, he plans his week by putting his most important goals on paper and why he chooses this over a digital planner. His wife also works from home and uses a lot of ergonomic products, since she's of a shorter stature; however, Trevor talks about how his desk set up is more about having access to good quality stationery and pens as well as some software that helps him organize and manage his work.

In the past, Ken worked on some large scale and high-profile projects at places such as Universal Studios Hollywood and was able to connect with some big names in the balloon world over the years. We talk about how a lot of those in the “business of fun” are generally good at collaborating and are currently engaging in more virtual balloon jams in order to continue to practice their skills and discuss business strategies. During the pandemic, many are temporarily switching gears from parties and festivals to work-from-home alternatives such as lawn decor and deliveries or focusing more on developing and learning new designs in order to retain their skills during this slow season. Ken has been invited to speak with entertainers at conventions, and he currently runs a Facebook group specifically for those in the balloon industry who are working on their business and marketing strategies.

Angela also talks about how she decided to work from home and how it's made it possible to raise their children with little to no outside childcare over the last 14 years, given that she and her husband have chosen to work opposite shifts. They live with their family near the Minnesota/Wisconsin border in Southeastern Minnesota and are involved in their community with their schools, Girl Scouts, and plenty of outdoor activities.

But I know my tech writers like having two monitors so they can compare multiple documents, so everyone's different on this."

He's looking forward to the birth of his second child and paternity leave later this fall and talks about this as well as the unlimited leave policy and what that looks like for him and his employees. Adaptavist is primarily a remote-work company based out of the UK, though they do have offices in several US cities, including Springfield, Missouri, where Matthew lives. His work requires some travel, and he goes to the local office on occasion to meet with colleagues; however, he has been primarily working from his home office for the past six years. He talks about how he left his previous job, where he was often putting in 60 to 80 hours a week; and he also shares how he negotiated a 40-hour workweek at his new job, even as a busy consultant. Matthew reveals some of his secrets as to how he has maintained this schedule as he's worked his way into new positions with more and more responsibility in a growing company.

Chair--Matthew says: "Holy moly, they're expensive now! I got mine for $1000 and felt like I overpaid, but I do sit in it for sometimes 12 hours a day, often 6-8, and have had it now for 6 years." www.steelcase.com/products/office-chairs/leap/

Desk--"Strong recommendation for longevity, stability, etc": www.btod.com/btod-vertdesk.php

Coffee: happymugcoffee.com

Matthew also added: "Something we didn't talk about, but I only have 1 monitor (I have a laptop tray on the second arm with the laptop closed most of the time). For me, a single monitor helps me focus on what I'm working on and helps me single-task. But I know my tech writers like having two monitors so they can compare multiple documents, so everyone's different on this."

We also talk about maintaining connection with colleagues as Nicole's team has transitioned from working at least half if not the majority of their hours in a shared office space to everyone now working from home, how her team has managed to maintain some of their relationships, and how she and her friends and family have been able to remain connected as they're working from home and staying socially distanced.

Ryan's held a few various positions over the years but has transitioned more recently from being a stay-at-home to a work-from-home dad in the past 2.5 years. Ryan had been blogging for about 15 years, but two years ago, he managed to take his writing skills and combine them with a creative hobby which turned into a work-from-home endeavor. He started his own table top game design publishing company that has grown to the point where he is now managing a team of about 15 freelancers and independent contractors. He is also starting online schooling with his 5-year-old daughter this year and is simultaneously looking forward to even more chances to grow his business and his skills.

In our interview, we talk about balancing deadlines with time flexibility, working while also managing household and parental duties, etc. We talk about where he's decided to set up his home office and why, equipment, tech tools, ergonomics, and time management/combating procrastination, and how they handle the division of household responsibilities in a family with two working parents.
