Tools for Hybrid Workspaces

Thank you Wayne and Marisa for sharing tips on working remotely. I think this is very useful for many people who continue to be in hybrid working spaces. This also helps with overall teamwork.

Informational and Timely for Remote Workers and Managers

This podcast is so timely as many companies are now remote-first. But the best part of this show is the conversations between the hosts and the guests. I like that it feels like a casual conversation with essential takeaways. My favorite episodes are when Marisa joins Wayne on the mic to chat about topics facing remote workers and work life.

I highly recommend Long-Distance Worklife to people that work hybrid and remote jobs or manage remote workers.
