Podcasts about remote workers

Send us a textEver felt like you're navigating a world that wasn't built for your success? This deeply personal episode unravels the complex journey of achieving professional excellence while wrestling with life's most challenging transitions.I'm celebrating passing an international certification with distinction – an achievement that came while balancing new motherhood, marriage, and career demands. This victory wasn't just academic; it represented overcoming postpartum depression, therapy struggles, and the persistent pressure to overachieve that many Black women know intimately. Your career can become a lifeline during periods of emotional displacement and loneliness, but there's danger in becoming defined solely by what you do professionally.The conversation expands beyond personal experience to examine how systems consistently cap Black success – whether through UK taxation policies that punish achievement, workplace cultures that view Black women as threats rather than assets, or the persistent colonial mindset that extracts value without giving credit. Drawing powerful parallels between personal career liberation and the broader decolonisation movements happening across Africa under leaders like Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso, we explore what true freedom looks like in both professional and global contexts.Throughout this episode, we discuss navigating environments not designed for your advancement: understanding organisational politics, recognising your value as a subject matter expert, creating leverage through continuous learning, knowing when to walk away, and strategically planning career moves without revealing all your cards. Whether you're feeling stuck, undervalued or simply seeking a more strategic approach to your professional life, this conversation offers both practical guidance and the emotional validation that your experiences are real.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star

A shift lowers stress chemicals like cortisol & adrenaline easing mental strain & overwhelm.You Can Rewire Your Brain: Simple practices: breaks, meditation, journaling, short walks can reset your brain chemistry. Not indulgences but strategies.Avoid the “Expert Trap”: Thinking you should already know something blocks learning. Even seasoned remote workers need a beginner mindset.

To round up our series of episodes about visas, today we're talking about the digital nomad and remote worker visas. They are possibly the most complicated of the visas available mostly because there is less information about to how receive these visas compared to others like the student visa or elective residency visa. For more information on all of the visas we've talked about you can check out Nathaniel's article "How to Move to Italy: The Ultimate Guide for Americans (2025)." For more info about being a digital nomad in Italy check out some of our other articles here. In this episode we mention the list of "highly skilled" jobs that you must fall into to be approved for the digital nomad visa. You can find the list on the official government website here. At the beginning of this episode we mention the sad news of the passing of Pope Francis on Monday, April 21. We also touch on how the recently announced (and unrelated) Venice tourist tax could affect your travel this summer. Plus, we received a very helpful tip from a listener after last week's episode. They pointed out that, in March, Italy announced a decree which could affect the Jus Sanginis (or birthright visa) requirements. We will keep you updated with that as the final decision will be made in May. If you'd like to support the podcast you can donate to us on ⁠Ko-fi⁠.

Continuing our Spotlight on PILMMA series, Mary Ellen O'Connor of O'Connor Law in New York joins us today to share some insights on remote hiring, her presentation topic at the upcoming PILMMA conference. Thank you so much for joining us today.   Mary Ellen Oh, thank you so much for having me, Lindsey. I really appreciate it.   Lindsey Well, tell us a bit about yourself and about your practice.   Mary Ellen So I am the owner of O'Connor Law, and we've been in business for almost 16 years now, and we represent injured workers in the state of New York. When they're injured on the job, we have five attorneys and a support staff of 25. So we've been growing particularly fast over the past four or five years, and it's mostly due to remote work.   Lindsey Well, and with that sustained growth and, you know, exponential growth over the past several years, getting the right people in place to... scaffold that growth and make sure that your operations are supported is necessary if you want to be able to build out and continue to grow long term. And so clearly, you know, as you said, you have hired remotely. Why do you consider remote hiring to be necessary in this situation?   Mary Ellen So I think that remote hiring provides you with not just the opportunity to open up the market to the best and the brightest, but also, from my own experience, I actually started working in 2005. So back when remote work was sort of, you know, not a non thing. And I remember when I got hired and they told me I could work remotely, I didn't actually believe them. So, you know, I know that when the CEO of the insurance company said to me, hey, why are you on calendar next week on September 7th? It's the first day of school, don't you have children? And I said, yeah. Yes, I've only been here three weeks. I don't have any time to take. And he's like, well, work from home that day. So I was like, I'm not allowed. I'm still on the six-month probation. And he was like, I'm the CEO. I just said to work from home. And it started a relationship with someone that had my full dedication because it provided me with an opportunity to never really have to give up being a mother and or being an attorney. Now, you really can't have it all. But this was the best of both worlds where I could work from home, pop in for that 15-minute pumpkin story that they needed to read and then run back home and not miss work and not miss the event. So being afforded that opportunity also then gave me a dedicati...

Five years ago today, after the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, there was a widespread shift to remote work for many workers who were considered nonessential. And people had to get used to seeing their colleagues mainly on a screen. In recent years, some companies have required employees to return to the office full time. But remote work remains a major part of many people’s lives, far more than in 2019. Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes spoke with Anita Blanchard, a professor of psychological and organization science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, about what’s lost when workers don’t interact in the same physical space.

EP 141 - Suky Sodhi, Work From Home vs. Return To OfficeIn this episode, we dive into the ongoing debate around the Return to Office (RTO) mandates issued by many employers. Is returning to the office the right move for companies and employees? How do economic conditions and personal preferences influence this decision? Suky joins us to share insightful perspectives on navigating these challenges in today's evolving workplace.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why Suky feels you can't let economic conditions act as roadblocksSuky's feelings on the Work From Home vs. Return To Office discussionWhy it's helpful to accept that being in business will never be just smooth sailingWhy Suky feels that going to industry events is so crucial for networking aloneHow to not overwhelm yourself with knowledge and goals after you attend a conferenceWhy we will always have our own biases and how to navigate those while making decisionsHow to decide as an employee  if it's time to part ways and find a new remote job or get back into the officeFAVORITE QUOTE:  Suky Sodhi“We tried the remote thing and it didn't work for us.”Suky Sodhi___________________________________________________________________________CONNECT WITH GUESTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/professionalselectionInstagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukysodhi/Website: https://canadianstaffingindustrysummit.com/Bio:I'm Suky an adrenaline junkie who celebrates every single win. I believe we must celebrate and collect all our wins along the way as it fuels forward momentum to ensure we exceed our goals. When we fuel forward momentum, complacency simply can not settle in. With over 25 years of experience working in the staffing industry, 16 of those working with global recruitment companies, I bring the knowledge and experience of working in 18 countries and successfully navigating through numerous “recession” cycles.Companies often get so focused on the bottom line that they forget that we are in the “people business”. For me, the magic happens when my clients recognize the best way to create a truly sustainable high-performance sales culture is to bring both into alignment.WHY I'M DIFFERENTI believe sales teams need a voice at the board room table. Leadership traditionally listens to that voice through the VP of Sales who themselves are listening through line managers. So, who at the boardroom table is listening to the voice directly? Neither strategy nor implementation can work alone, both must combine with each stakeholder's own unique mindset—the stories we tell ourselves. Our past experiences also play a massive part in how we receive and respond to training. We work together to create a tailored strategy, that drives revenue-generating results that are not only profitable but sustainable and aligned with your business. When we recognize the unique experience each person is having, we can create a true high-performance sales culture and elevate employee engagement. Both elements must coexist for long-term success. THE PROBLEM Many companies do not recognize that the real “bottleneck” is NOT their sales teams, it's with their leadership team. Leaders often try to correct course by enforcing even stricter KPIs and “rules” because that is what they've learnt. This type of leadership creates emotional and physical detachment from the most important people in the business who are representing you every day. I provide the crucial missing link, ensuring both parties' voices are heard and allows me to deliver bespoke training which meets both the individual and company's objective. ___________________________________________________________________________CONNECT with Lori: Facebook: @LoriMJewettInstagram: @jewettloriThe “80HD Book” - ORDER HERE! This isn't just another podcast—it's a deep dive into the raw, unfiltered power within YOU.

She discusses how initiatives like Tulsa Remote have revitalized cities by attracting remote workers and fostering local collaborations. From engineering serendipity to creating consistent rituals and empathetic leadership, Darcy offers actionable insights into creating inclusive, connected thriving communities and environments for remote and distributed workers and teams.     TAKEAWAYS   [01:27] Darcy's early and enduring passion is hospitality and helping people feel they belong.   [02:34] At Airbnb, Darcy pilots early remote work initiatives to explore flexible work models.   [04:06] Darcy leaves Airbnb as they lack remote work flexibility and moves to a rural area.   [04:23] TaxJar's leadership wants to take the company fully remote, so Darcy joins for the challenge.   [05:10] The vision is to build a strong company with a strong product and strong profits while people enjoy their lives.   [06:00] Darcy works with academic researchers to study and codify culture in a fully remote organization.   [06:56] How do you architect culture where there are no physical walls?   [07:40] Codifying culture for scale involves understanding the founders' DNA and origins.   [08:56] Deep listening sessions to co-create with employees and reveal how values show up.   [09:20] Transitioning from an SMB to a mid-market culture means balancing collaboration with structure.   [11:16] During the pandemic, TaxJar's remote model enables significant growth and low attrition.   [12:05] Darcy wants to help people and prove remote working works, but it gets exhausting.   [14:06] To normalize family-friendly environments, TaxJar's CEO has to set the example.   [15:00] They are proud of having top talent who are really empathetic.   [16:29] At Stripe, Darcy observes strong identity tied to the office causing hybrid work challenges.   [18:26] Redesigning hybrid work, prompting leaders to model flexibility and track energy patterns.   [19:56] Understanding offsites, her team considers how to include remote participants equitably.   [20:34] Why to create experiences for remote workers that rival office-based interactions.   [22:18] Darcy describes Tulsa Remote and attracting remote workers to boost economic growth.   [23:34] The benefits of industry diversification and reverse the brain drain for Tulsa.   [24:33] Why people choose to move to Tulsa and partnering to solve local problems.   [25:09] “Engineering serendipity” to connect remote workers with local communities.   [26:28] Piloting a workation program that fosters deep connections between participants and locals.   [28:10] The pilot program results in nine out of twelve participants moving to Tulsa.   [29:28] Darcy personalizes participants' experiences connecting them with relevant locals.   [32:59] How other cities have increasing willingness to benefit from digital nomads.   [34:17] The opportunity to create a blueprint for “sister cities” ready to create consistent, impactful remote work experiences.   [37:20] Madeira Friends aim to show the long-term economic benefits of attracting digital nomads.   [39:26] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: To improve hybrid and remote outcomes, lean into cultural architecture. One, name channels to evoke desired behaviors. Two, cultivate consistent rituals. Three, give yourself permission to experiment.     RESOURCES   Darcy Marie Mayfield on LinkedIn Darcy on Instagram Tulsa Remote     QUOTES   "How do you architect culture when there's no physical walls?"​ "Codifying culture allowed us to emotionally and intrinsically move our culture from an SMB culture to a mid-market culture because that's where our customers were going."​ "Words make worlds. Use words that emote the behavior you want to see."​ "Remote workers bring not just economic benefits but also a diversification of skills and innovative ideas to communities."​   "Leaders must set the tone—if a leader is going to take a walk in the middle of the day, then everybody else will follow."​   "It's about designing the connections and programming so people feel like they belong so much earlier and so much more often."​ ​

Marisa and Wayne discuss the Spider-Man Paradox, which is the idea that with great power comes great responsibility. They explore the responsibility that remote workers have in managing their own schedules and demonstrating their trustworthiness to their employers. They emphasize the importance of proactive communication, setting expectations, and taking ownership of one's work. They also discuss the need for remote workers to take responsibility for their own development and seek out opportunities for growth. Key Takeaways 1. Remote workers have the power to control their own schedules, but they also have the responsibility to demonstrate their trustworthiness. 2. Proactive communication and setting expectations are essential for building trust with employers. 3. Remote workers should take ownership of their work and be proactive in seeking out opportunities for growth and development.

There's been a lot of controversy post-pandemic between companies and employees about returning to the physical workspace. This episode's guest, Wayne Turmel, is uniquely qualified to discuss this topic. Wayne was my guest on episode 77 in the fall of 2020 when we were dealing with the early months of COVID-19, and most people were working remotely. In that conversation, we discussed the book he and his co-author, Kevin Eikenberry, published PRE-COVID. It was called The Long-Distance Leader and focused on leading remote teams, so they were ahead of their time. They've recently released the second edition of The Long-Distance Leader, subtitled Revised Rules for Remarkable Remote and Hybrid Leadership. In his interview here, we discussed key ideas from the updated book. Wayne Turmel has been writing about developing communication and leadership skills for nearly 30 years. He's also taught and consulted at Fortune 500 companies and startups around the world. For 18 years, he's focused on the growing need to communicate effectively in remote and virtual environments.  In addition to his writing, Wayne is a sought-after speaker at business and leadership conferences and events. He's the author of 15 books and a frequent guest at events such as ATD's International Conference and Exposition and the European Digital Learning Expo. He's also the host of the Long Distance Worklife Podcast. Marshall Goldsmith calls him “One of the most unique voices in leadership today.” You'll discover: What happened after the first edition of the book that caused Wayne and Kevin to conclude they needed to update itWhat Wayne means when he uses the word HYBRID and how it differs from the commonly understood meaningThe importance of factoring in TIME as part of a hybrid work scheduleThe 3C model that needs to be considered when an organization wants to define its cultureThree reasons why young people want in-person time at the officeCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 358 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak GUESTS: David Ensley DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Craig and Peter interview David Ensley, an orthodontist and part of a dental service organization (DSO). They discuss various topics including the use of Twitter for networking, the differences between GP and ortho startups, the importance of location and visibility for dental practices, the use of Google Ads and CRM for marketing, and the benefits of hiring offshore employees. David shares insights on in-house financing in orthodontics and the challenges of cash flow in the beginning. He also emphasizes the value of specialized roles and better talent that can be obtained through offshore hiring. David shares insights on managing remote teams, finding the right talent, and creating a pathway to ownership for dentists.  TAKEAWAYS Orthodontic startups face challenges with cash flow in the beginning due to the longer treatment times and monthly payment plans. Location and visibility are crucial for dental practices, and retail locations with high vehicle traffic are preferred. Google Ads and CRM systems like Go High Level can be effective tools for marketing and lead management. In-house financing is more common in orthodontics due to the longer treatment times and the ability to break up payments throughout treatment. Hiring offshore employees can provide access to specialized roles and better talent at an affordable price. Remote workers can bring efficiency and specialization to a dental practice or DSO. Partnerships in a DSO can provide a pathway to ownership and increase retention and quality. Collaboration with professionals outside of dentistry can bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Twitter can be a valuable platform for learning, networking, and engaging with professionals from various industries.
