The concept of "remote work" is not a new idea by any means - people have been working remote for decades. There was never any controversy over this small group of people working from home "telecommuting." It's just been over the past ten years when both technology and the pandemic thrust tens of millions of people into an entirely new work environment with no nearly zero guardrails. Companies had no idea how to structure their policies around an entirely remote workforce, so they winged it. Employees had no guidelines for how to manage their focus, time, and professionalism, so they learned on the fly. Now, we are coming out of the "trial by fire" phase and are taking stock on what worked well, what worked poorly, and where to go from here. Wayne Turmel has been studying, writing, and training people/organizations on how to create effective remote work structures since the beginning. In this episode, Wayne discusses: The near and long-term future of remote work. The problems with adapting to a fully remote work life. How companies need to adapt. You can find Wayne's book The Long Distance Leader on Amazon.

Job boards give you the illusion that there are more job opportunities than actually exist. If you hop on LinkedIn or a remote job board you'll find hundreds and sometimes thousands of job listings depending on the role you're looking for. The problem is that about 50% of them are "ghost listings", meaning the role isn't real. And of the job listings that are real, each posting will get hundreds of applicants. With so many candidates applying for so few actual positions, how do you stand out from the crowd? Unfortunately, the answer is not a numbers game. Sending hundreds of applications each week will not increase your odds of getting hired. You're just adding more noise and wasting your time. In this episode Marisa explains how to dramatically increase your response rate and get to the interview stage. She explains exactly how to increase quality over quantity to maximize your chances of landing the job. And if you are looking for help understanding which direction you should go with your career so that you can work remote as a digital nomad, Marisa is hosting a career clarity workshop.

One thing that you never get from your standard two week travel vacation is a truly cultural experience. Typically you get stuck in the tourist loops - expensive hotels, overpriced restaurants, crowded attractions, and lots and lots of other vacationers. When you live life as a digital nomad you tend to get way outside the tourist bubble. In this episode Jeff and Marisa discuss 15 awesome events around the world that you can plan digital nomad trips around as anchor points. These events are best suited to a digital nomad lifestyle because typically they are a bit "out of the way", requiring quite a bit of time to get to and enjoy the experience. As a teaser, Jeff and Marisa talk about: Stampede: 1.3 million people congregate in Calgary, Canada for a massive rodeo, music festival, and chuckwagon racing. La Tomatina: A massive tomato throwing festival in Spain. Holi: An enormous celebration marked by people throwing massive amounts of colored powder at each other.

Beach Commute has launched a database of 300+ fully-remote companies that let you work from anywhere! This is the result of 3+ years of filtering through tens of thousands of companies from remote job boards, LinkedIn, and Beach Commute's personal and professional networks. Only about 1% of remote job listings you find on job boards ACTUALLY let you work from anywhere. Most companies come with a catch: Geographical location restrictions, hybrid requirements, or quarterly meetups. Not these companies! Each company goes through a rigorous review and rating criteria by Beach Commute experts to ensure that each company in the database is 100% work from anywhere and will be an awesome place to work. Along with requirements to be a "work from anywhere organization", each company listing is also rated and contains key information on a few critical factors: Employee perks: Laptops, unlimited PTO, 4 day work weeks, etc. Peer reviews: What employees are actually saying about working for the company. Company culture: The type of environment the company fosters for its employees. How much do they care about their employees?! Remote culture: How much does the company embody a remote culture as part of their business model?

Most people assume that they can get a remote job by directly applying to job listings they find on job boards.  It's VERY rare that people actually get jobs this way. The majority of the time these job applications get lost in the abyss of hundreds of applications.  As a matter of fact, if your application DOES get looked at, the average amount of time a recruiter will spend on it is 6 seconds. 6 seconds is all you get! You need to completely reframe the way you think about getting a job to maximize your odds of getting a job.  In this episode Jeff and Marisa walk you through a technique that will optimize the likelihood of getting hired.  Hint: The best way to get hired at a fully remote company is by following companies rather than chasing individual job listings.  And the best way to do that is finding companies that truly give you the freedom to travel anywhere while you work.  Fortunately, Beach Commute has spent 3+ years tracking down the very best companies in the world to work from. Beach Commute has launched a fully filterable database (called the Anywhere Atlas) of 300+ awesome companies, rated by four important factors:  Peer reviews - how people who actually work for the company feel about working with them.  Remote work culture - how much the company embraces a fully-remote work style.  Employee perks - the benefits the companies offer like 4 day weeks, laptops, medical coverage, etc.  Company culture - the type of positive environment management fosters for employees.  Get access to the Anywhere Atlas today!
