Out of Office* is a podcast about how we work, adapt and evolve during the most acute modern version of our species’ unending struggle for survival. Initially scheduled to launch in early April, CoVID-19, which created this show, postponed that launch until the end of April. I’ve had some bad bosses but damn.

Recorded April 27, in this episode I speak with Nick Mattera, a former colleague, a friend, and the owner of an outdoor events business. Who's also engaged to get married this year! We discuss being flexible, creative, and drive-in movies. More on that in a follow up episode!
In this episode I speak with Idan Geva, founder and Chief Business Officer at analytics platform company Wizer (www.getwizer.com). Idan lives in Brooklyn with his wife and young children but they are all currently out of office in Tel Aviv, Israel. We talk startups, basketball, transparency, and learn that FC Barcelona got their kit/color scheme from FC Basel.
Recorded three-weeks after Ep.2, Robby is joined by Linda Burtch, founder and Managing Director of Burtch Works, an executive recruiting firm that focuses on data science and analytics talent. They also talk about salary transparency, the importance of soft skills, beefing up technical skills, and how the world desperately needs a sitcom set in the office of an executive recruiting firm. Special thanks to Norm MacDonald for the "Moth" joke and to CoVID-19 for knocking Robby out for three weeks. https://www.burtchworks.com/feed https://www.linkedin.com/company/burtch-works https://twitter.com/Burtchworks
In this episode, recorded on April 1 (likely with a developing case of CoVID-19), Robby speaks with Nelson Rodriguez, President of Chicago Fire FC, about what a professional sports organization does when there are no sports. This is the first episode I recorded, and it sounds like it. Luckily when your guest is a pro, it can still come out interesting!
Episode 1, Robby speaks with Randy Greenberg, executive producer for The MEG and Cowboys vs. Aliens, about his work in Hollywood, about what an executive producer actually DOES, about the class he teaches at UCLA about the business of entertainment, and about the amazing office his wife BUILT for him in the backyard.
Introduction to Out of Office*, a podcast about how we work and live, how we're adapting (or struggling to do so) during the pandemic, and how individuals, families, communities and organizations might ultimately evolve based on the experience.
