He likes to regularly share that advice when the topic comes around to corporate culture and work-life balance.  Ten months of working from home and the internet is busy debating the idea of work-life balance or life-work balance; you get the idea. I have to admit that I've always had difficulty with that phrase and even the thought of it.
