Ep. 84 - The Modern Workplace is Changing

In today's The Art of Winning episode, our host Ashton Levarek discusses the evolving landscape of the Modern Workplace and how to tackle it. Ashton explores how automation is replacing human labor, even in creative fields. The pandemic is accelerating this shift, making it clear that physical office spaces are no longer necessary for many employees. While white-collar workers have adapted, blue-collar workers have yet to fully adjust and risk losing their jobs. To prepare for this change, we should embrace remote work and its benefits, including time freedom. Real estate investments, such as short-term rentals like Airbnbs, can provide financial independence. Regardless of profession, it's crucial to adapt and seize opportunities in this evolving workplace.

Key Quotes

"Working for someone else to build their vision and dream was not how we wanted to work or live. We started investing in real estate to be accountable only to ourselves and our own dreams.” –Ashton Levarek.
