“The majority of revenue professionals work multiple jobs, they work multiple side hustles, some work two jobs simultaneously” One of the many interesting topics debated on Angles and Insight, with Wade Foster and Jason M. Lemkin, was around the state of remote work. To me, it seems that the forces on the “pro remote work” side would point to… Access to a wider talent pool, higher employee happiness, more flexibility, more work-life balance The forces on the “skeptical of remote work” side would point to…. Less productivity, impacted culture, more distracted employees. And then of course you have a lot of companies embracing a hybrid model (which can work, although Wade cautions brands to be careful of creating many subcultures) Ultimately though, it seems that a more open dialogue needs to happen between executives and their teams. What I hear from operators day in and day out is they wish they could be in-person. They prefer in person. But it doesn’t feel tenable in today’s climate. Not all of them, but I think a greater percentage than folks realize. Lemkin echoes this in the podcast. It feels like this will naturally create walls and disconnect with teams if executives only begrudgingly allow remote because they have no choice. What do you see?
Personally, I believe a hybrid model could be the best of both worlds, allowing for some in-person collaboration while still reaping the benefits of remote work.
Casey Hill The biggest benefit remote work is how it can make you more productive. Rather than thinking of the time we spent for rush hour, we are able to spend before and after our work hours for something else. That's why I'm never going back to an office.
Working on the side can benefit the main job a lot. Just the feeling of accomplishment after 45min writing in the morning supports a great start. This is how I wrote and published many books and improved my project management practice.
Why limit your talent pool to one city? Remote fosters greater diversity of thought.
We sure are! T-shaped people are resourceful people to have around.

7moI've always had a 'side hustle' while working in my full time job. I taught as an adjunct professor, ran a one-of-a-kind kids fitness program, launched a podcast. For me, I acquired and learned more skills from doing stuff outside my job that I eventually was able to incorporate in my 9-5 gig.
