Podcasts about remote work

Remote work productivity surged during the pandemic, with studies showing a strong link between increased telework and industry-wide efficiency, cost savings, and TFP growth—challenging the push for full return-to-office mandates. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which discusses the government research that reveals the remote work productivity revolution.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/government-research-reveals-the-remote-work-productivity-revolution/

What happens when you choose freedom over fear? Michelle Coulson's story reveals the extraordinary path that unfolds when you dare to break free from conventional expectations.Michelle always knew she wasn't destined for the traditional path. Even as a child growing up in a small town outside Manchester, she dreamed of life "abroad" – though she couldn't yet define where that would be. After a year in Spain with her family at age 12, the seed of adventure took root, setting her on a trajectory that would eventually lead to solo cycling across Europe and founding a business that helps others reclaim their freedom.Her journey weaves through working at a Florida country club in her twenties (where she formed her initial impressions of Americans), spontaneously visiting Times Square for New Year's Eve with a stranger she met on the subway, and eventually embarking on a transformative solo cycling trip from Montenegro to France. Despite the challenges of mountain terrain, cold temperatures, and loneliness, this journey crystallized her understanding of what truly matters in life.When the pandemic hit, Michelle's adventurous spirit couldn't be contained by lockdown restrictions. She escaped to Cornwall in search of surf and her "happy place" by the ocean, eventually making her way to Bali in 2021. When her employer demanded she return to the office after 18 months of successful remote work, Michelle made the bold decision to quit rather than compromise her freedom.This pivotal moment led to the birth of Remote Rebellion, her company dedicated to helping others secure remote work that aligns with their values and desired lifestyle. Drawing from her extensive recruitment experience and personal journey, Michelle now leads a global team scattered across seven countries, proving that work can happen from anywhere when you build with intention.Whether you're contemplating a career change, dreaming of location independence, or simply seeking inspiration to live more adventurously, Michelle's story demonstrates that the question isn't whether you can break free – it's whether you're willing to take that first step. As she says, adventure means "breaking out of your comfort zone and trying something a little new and maybe a little scary."Ready to rebel against limitations and design a life on your own terms?

Employers are getting wise to their over-employed employees – the ones working multiple jobs on the clock and dime of their main boss. Gene Marks says this type of flexibility might be necessary to keep good employees, and he's OK with it as long as individuals are finishing their work satisfactorily and on time. Speaking of time, Gene points out a report that shows remote workers clocking 2.65 hours less than in-office workers. Plus, Gen Zers scored poorly in financial literacy, startups reach near-historic highs, and small businesses can take a victory lap after winning a lawsuit that allows for the continuation of auto-renewals on subscriptions and memberships.

On this episode of the Inner Edison podcast, host Ed Parcaut chats with Eric Brotman, a seasoned financial advisor and entrepreneur, about his unconventional journey into the world of finance and the lessons learned along the way. Eric shares how a failed plan to become a lawyer led him by accident into finance, his entrepreneurial leap after starting over from scratch at age 30, and how adversity—like the 2008 recession—shaped his business and personal growth. Ed and Eric dive deep into the realities of entrepreneurship: the risks, the need for resilience, and the lessons that come from setbacks. Eric shares actionable insights on building financial independence, including practical strategies for tax diversification, the use of whole life insurance, and the importance of financial literacy for business owners and families alike. They also discuss Eric's philosophy behind his book, “Don't Retire… Graduate,” which challenges the conventional notion of retirement and encourages listeners to plan for a financially free and fulfilling next chapter. Along the way, the conversation covers mistakes, management missteps, innovations during the pandemic, and the value of aligning company culture for long-term success. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner, this episode is packed with candid stories, practical advice, and a refreshing perspective on success, failure, and building a life (and business) you love.

Welcome to Episode 286 of the Spun Today Podcast, the show anchored in writing but truly unlimited in its scope. I'm your host, Tony Ortiz, and today we're diving into something both personal and nostalgic: a throwback tribute episode to my good friend and Spun Today alum, Pablo Mosquera Jr.   In this heartfelt installment, we revisit one of our annual beach day recordings—this one taking place on Coney Island during that odd window in the summer of 2020, right in the midst of the COVID pandemic. Pablo and I reflect on everything from the challenges and isolation of lockdown, the mental health impact of working from home, and our predictions about the ever-evolving work landscape, to our perennial struggles getting to Governor's Island for a bike ride and, of course, our shared love of breaking the monotony with a little weekday hooky at the beach.   Expect a conversation that ranges far and wide, just like the show itself. We cover road trips, favorite drinks, and the transformative power of routine escapes—plus the creative, life-affirming benefits of unplugging from work and leaning into tradition, even during uncertain times. There's even a story about a real-life lifeguard rescue and a heap of pop culture moments, from The Sopranos to Patrick Swayze classics, all through the unique lens of creativity, inspiration, and the everyday writer's perspective.   So whether you're here for the writing talk, the laughs, or some much-needed motivation, this episode invites you to reminisce, recharge, and most of all, keep spinning creativity into your life—no matter what the world throws your way.   Let's get into it.   The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing & Random Rants, but unlimited in scope.  Give it a whirl.    Twitter: https://twitter.com/spuntoday Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spuntoday/ Website: http://www.spuntoday.com/home Newsletter: http://www.spuntoday.com/subscribe   Links referenced in this episode:     Follow Pablo on Instagram: @pabs711   Fu*k , That's Delicious S04E10 With Action Bronson - Bronx To Farm Cuisine | MUNCHIES & VICE TV: https://youtu.be/cwEjj6dALlk?t=420   Lillo Brancato Jr on 'Bronx Tale', Drug Addiction, Cop Getting Killed, Prison (Full Interview): https://youtu.be/-oqFY7vTEIM   Atlanta: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4288182/   Red Dawn: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087985/   Toy Soldiers: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103112/   The Movies That Made Us: https://www.netflix.com/title/80990849   Point Break: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102685/   Talking Sopranos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDUH23ccuK5a2rhKqE1HcEw   Two dope scenes from True Romance: 1.     The Sicilian Scene: https://youtu.be/S3yon2GyoiM 2.     Fight scene Part 1: https://youtu.be/VxRpMphMmXM & Part 2: https://youtu.be/2l1hDC34gTc   Listen to episode #283 (re-release of #107 – Beach Day with Pablo): Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/283-cycles-of-life-loss-and-stories-honoring/id924328532?i=1000709665351 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/44wHccKC8Jpuu3eYLd1fO5?si=R7EH9dQZSAKFutXeSF80YQ&nd=1&dlsi=e830def4b0bd401c YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lfWTjGP2JY   Get your Podcast Started Today! https://signup.libsyn.com/?promo_code=SPUN (Use Promo code SPUN and get up to 2-months of free service!)

From turning down a $10 million offer to maintaining control through dual-class shares, Sid walks us through the principles and systems that have shaped GitLab from the start.We also delve into GitLab's renowned, live, and public 2,000-page handbook—how it functions not only as documentation but also as a recruiting tool, cultural backbone, and governance mechanism.In our conversation today, we talk about the following topics:• Why Sid once cold-pitched a submarine inventor—and got hired• What led GitLab to turn down a $10M buyout and pursue an IPO• Why GitLab favors “boring solutions” by default—and avoids reinventing the wheel• The role of GitLab's live, public handbook in building transparency and trust• Why every change at GitLab must be made in the handbook first• How the handbook supports hiring, alignment, and radical transparency• GitLab's approach to decentralized decision-making• Why “customer results” sits at the top of GitLab's values hierarchy• Sid's case for open core as the future of software•How GitLab encourages informal connection in a remote-first culture—and the role of in-person meetups• And much more—Brought to you by:• Ahrefs – Get instant website traffic insights, without the noise. ⁠⁠Learn more⁠⁠. —Where to find Sid Sijbrandij:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sijbrandij/• X: https://x.com/sytses—Where to find Eric:• Newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericries.carrd.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theericriesshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ —In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(02:52) The origins of GitLab(04:15) The MVP of GitLab and how it has evolved to a DevOps platform (05:09) Sid's internships and why he chose to work with submarines after(08:57) How Sid became a submarine engineer (11:10) How Ruby sparked Sid's interest in programming (12:28) Why GitLab said no to $10M and chose YC and decided to go IPO(17:45) How GitLab kept control including granting 10x voting shares before going public(22:25) GitLab's extreme commitment to their values (28:29) GitLab's Handbook and how changes are made (33:11) How GitLab handles pushback and how the handbook builds trust (37:38) An explanation of buyer-based open core at GitLab (38:35) The challenges implementing a lean startup approach (45:26) Keeping the organization aligned: How GitLab reinforces their values (53:51) Why GitLab updates values (55:57) Why senior engineers have an easier time securing budget(57:21) Putting customers first: GitLab's value hierarchy explained(59:08) The case for decentralized decision-making—and how GitLab makes it work(1:03:24) The handbook's role in recruiting and building alignment(1:06:25) Maintaining transparency after IPO(1:10:55) The three phases of GitLab's all-remote operating policy (1:17:04) How GitLab developed its open core business model (1:20:19) The trust-building power of open source and Sid's case for open core(1:25:20) Protective governance measures GitLab helps companies take (1:29:28) How Sid has been doing on his cancer journey, and his work to help others —You can find episode references at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—Production and marketing by ⁠⁠Pen Name⁠⁠.Eric may be an investor in the companies discussed.

What is the future of Digital Nomadism, Remote Work and Work from Anywhere? And should ASEAN destinations do more than issue Digital Nomad Visas to integrate remote workers into tourism economies? And who, actually, are digital nomads. Are they remote workers? Are they laptop backpackers? Is digital nomadism a lifestyle? Is it a tourism segment? What is borderless living? What are Micro-Societies? Why is global mobility developing as a hot topic? Are co-working and co-living compatible concepts for destination marketing? This week, Gary is joined by Milos Pelucha, Co-Founder of Destinova, and an advocate for remote work as a high-yield travel segment. Milos and Gary's conversation coincides with the climax of the 2025 Bansko Nomad Festival - the world's largest digital nomad gathering - in Bulgaria. We take a global journey through the critical issues of the remote working economy and the future of "borderless" tourism, from Armenia to China, Azores to Bhutan, Thailand to the French Alps, Morocco to Georgia and Vietnam to India. En route we breakdown the key components for destination marketers seeking to engage the fast-evolving 'work from anywhere' movement - which is becoming more organised and more dynamic.

Brendan McAdams, sales coach, author of Sales Craft, and founder of Kiinetics, joins us to drop serious knowledge on what it takes to succeed in health tech sales. With deep B2B expertise and a sharp focus on early-stage startups, Brendan works with founders and commercial teams to land enterprise clients, close complex hospital deals, and avoid the costly sales mistakes that kill momentum. This episode is your roadmap for transitioning from traditional medical sales into the fast-paced, high-stakes world of health tech. Brendan breaks down how to navigate hybrid sales environments, how to think like a founder when you're selling, and why success today requires more than just clinical knowledge, it demands strategic thinking, empathy, and execution. We dive into the art of the consultative sale. Brendan shares how to lead with curiosity, engage buyers without pressure, and know when to walk away. It's not just about closing deals,  it's about building trust, long-term relationships, and referenceable revenue that makes or breaks early-stage startups. You'll also hear why sales is more like a sport than a job. From staying sharp in solo roles to handling rejection with poise, Brendan offers tactical advice on staying motivated and leveling up your game. Plus, we explore how platforms like Expertscape are changing the way we think about clinical expertise and marketing in health care. If you're in medical sales and thinking about breaking into health tech,  or if you're already there and want to scale faster, this episode is packed with straight-up gold.

Send us a textThe digital nomad movement has evolved from a fringe lifestyle into a global phenomenon, with Southeast Asia emerging as its undisputed headquarters. This episode explores the realities of remote work in paradise, cutting through Instagram filters to reveal what actually awaits Americans seeking escape through digital nomad visas.We break down the distinct flavors of nomad life across four key destinations. Bali offers spiritual sanctuary amid rice fields and infinity pools, where $2,000 monthly buys a lifestyle that would cost quintuple in California. Thailand provides both Bangkok's electric energy and Chiang Mai's peaceful mountain retreats, with world-class healthcare. Malaysia quietly delivers perhaps the region's most straightforward digital nomad visa alongside modern infrastructure and multicultural richness. Meanwhile, the Philippines compensates for infrastructure challenges with unmatched friendliness and cultural accessibility for Americans.Beyond the practical aspects of visas, accommodation, and Wi-Fi speeds, we dive into the deeper emotional journey of disconnecting from American expectations. Expert guests – from long-term digital nomads to immigration specialists – share insights on building community abroad, navigating cultural differences, and handling the inevitable complexities of transient relationships. They address the tension between enjoying paradise and respecting local communities, offering guidance on responsible nomadism that avoids contributing to gentrification.Featuring:Chris Dodd Tim MartingDavid LesperanceRichard McCollChawadee Nualkhair-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

You'll also hear our philosophy on writing clean, maintainable code, and how long-term thinking has guided the way we run the company: slowly, intentionally, and with purpose.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with George Mogannam, CRO of Celigo, to explore the foundational gaps that hinder scalable growth—particularly in recruiting, onboarding, and team cohesion. George unpacks what most companies miss when trying to scale, including the absence of ideal hiring profiles, lack of onboarding discipline, and broken internal processes. He also emphasizes the power of in-person connection, the hidden cost of remote culture, and the importance of aligning internal teams during growth surges.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:25] Common Gaps in Scaling Sales Teams: Many organizations lack ideal hiring profiles, onboarding processes, KPIs, and operational rhythms.[00:01:40] Remote Work's Cultural Void: Remote work has eroded the informal peer-to-peer learning and camaraderie critical to high-performing sales teams.[00:02:37] Why In-Person Teams Outperform: George shares research that shows 4x higher churn in remote teams versus co-located ones—highlighting the need for centralized sales orgs.[00:03:37] The True ROI of Sales Kickoffs: More than training, it's the peer interaction, story-sharing, and cross-learning that drive culture and performance.[00:04:30] The Overlooked Bottleneck in Scaling: Many CROs underestimate internal readiness for hiring sprees, especially around slow offer letter processes and internal misalignment.[00:06:59] Fixing Internal Bottlenecks: George details how his team automated contract counter-signatures to reduce booking delays and avoid customer disruptions.QUOTES[00:01:14] “There's a sales process, but no one's really utilizing it… there's no discipline around it.”[00:02:01] “You will get four times higher churn when everybody's remote versus when people are together.”[00:03:37] “The priceless part comes from them all engaging together... more powerful than all the formal training.”[00:04:59] “Companies don't realize they're a walking audition for what it's going to be like to work for them.”[00:06:41] “That's how you burn cash in an organization—when internal readiness doesn't match external hiring urgency.”[00:07:27] “If the order isn't executed at the proper time, we can accidentally shut the customer off.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/scaling-high-growth-sales-organizations-with-george-mogannamEnjoying the podcast?

Sometimes a joke turns into a new life.Trish Jasinski had built a fulfilling, decades-long career in corporate marketing—and she really loved it. But during the pandemic, while working remotely from a very tiny Paris apartment, she started joking with friends that châteaux in the countryside were cheaper than her shoebox of a flat.Just for fun—and with zero plans to actually buy—she went château shopping.And then it happened. She stepped into Château de Gère, a 14th-century stone fortress tucked into the Vallée d'Ossau, and something inside her said, “This is it.”So she did the unthinkable: she bought it. With no plan. Just heart.Now, Trish lives in a quiet French village where sheep outnumber people, and she's turned the château into a beautiful retreat and event space. She's taken everything she learned from her corporate years and poured it into this new life—this wild, magical, entirely unexpected next chapter.In this episode, we talk about:Following a totally unserious whim that changed everythingWhy “no plan” doesn't mean “no purpose”Using your past experience in completely new waysListening to your intuition (even when it makes zero sense)Creating a life that's slower, sweeter, and more youConnect with TrishBook a stay at Château de Gère: https://chateaudegere.com/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chateaudegere/  Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

"I took my entire severance pay and blew it on a two-month trip to Asia — and that decision changed my life." - Hao TranIn this episode, I felt a strong sense of kindred spirit with Hao. We both came to Vietnam almost exactly nine years ago and ended up building something rooted in storytelling. I loved Hao's honesty about how Vietcetera started from nothing — no business plan, no roadmap — just curiosity and persistence. What stuck with me most was his idea that podcasting and media aren't just about broadcasting, but about representation: Vietnam telling its own story, from the inside out.He reminded me of the importance of long-term vision. When people told him they'd run out of stories, he proved that Vietnam is overflowing with them. This is more than media; it's cultural documentation. And honestly, that's what I hope the Vietnam Podcast becomes as well.Top 5 Takeaways - Hao came to Vietnam with no plans and just $300/month: A leap of faith that would unknowingly launch Vietcetera.- Vietcetera's first-ever feature was rejected by its subject: A lesson in humility, editing, and persistence.- The first paid advertorial turned out to be a voucher, not cash: Business lessons in transparency and expectation-setting.- There was no business model — it was built on energy, value exchange, and curiosity.- Mission to “bring Vietnam to the world” is not only alive — it's overflowing with untold stories.Chapters & Timestamps04:30-From Tech Layoff to Vietnam Leap06:30-Meeting Andrew Frazier & Early Immersions09:30-The First Vietcetera Blog: Rejection & Rewrite19:00-Living on $300 a Month in Vietnam22:00-Language, Culture & Being a Vietnamese-American Boss24:30- Remote Work, Human Connection & Gen Z Trends31:00-Youth Identity, Content Influence & the Monoculture39:00-Mission to Bring Vietnam to the World41:00-Supporting the Next Generation of Vietnamese Talent"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

In the age of virtual communication, here's how to ensure your messages convey what you mean.Texts. Emails. Slacks. Zooms. We're communicating in more ways than ever, but Andrew Brodsky has a word of warning: Your virtual communication might be sending messages you're not aware of.Brodsky is the author of PING: The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication. And as a professor of management at the University of Texas McCombs School of Business, he researches the impact of technology on workplace communication. “In virtual communication, there's often missing information,” he says. “As recipients of it, we're searching to fill in the gaps. The problem [is] that the recipient who's making these guesses is often guessing incorrectly.” As his research reveals, variables like typos, the time you schedule a meeting, and even your choice of email signature affect how your messages are received — and how you're perceived.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and Brodsky explore his PING framework (perspective-taking, initiative, nonverbal awareness, and goals) for mastering digital communication. From understanding when to choose email over a phone call to navigating cameras-on versus cameras-off meetings, he offers practical strategies for ensuring your virtual messages communicate exactly what you intend.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Andrew BrodskyAndrew's Book: PingEp.31 Quick Thinks: How to Shine Online and Excel at Virtual Communication Ep.53 Step Up and Stand Out: How to Create the Right Environment for Communication  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:34) - What Is Virtual Communication?

Welcome to episode #989 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Andrew Brodsky is reshaping how we think about work, not by focusing on tasks or tools, but by interrogating how we communicate. A management professor at the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin, Andrew specializes in organizational behavior, with a sharp focus on the friction (and possibility) that emerges when human behavior meets digital platforms. With a PhD from Harvard Business School and a BS from Wharton, his work explores everything from how to show emotional authenticity on Zoom to how organizations can build culture without a physical office. In his new book, Ping - The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication, Andrew offers a science-backed, research-driven guide to the biggest question facing modern professionals: when should something be an email, a Slack, a video call or nothing at all? He pushes past the cliché of "this meeting could've been an email” to examine what kinds of communication actually drive clarity, trust and effectiveness. In this episode, we explore the messy reality of hybrid work, the erosion of “third places” where colleagues used to casually connect, and the deeper organizational consequences of fragmented communication norms. Andrew explains why remote work isn't the root of all workplace disconnection (return-to-office mandates won't fix your culture) and how better communication (intentional, strategic, well-matched to the message) is the real differentiator for teams. We also talk about the long-term implications of this shift: from how loneliness is showing up in employee engagement surveys to how new communication technologies might shape our future work rhythms. Whether you're leading a team, working across time zones, or just trying to get a response to your last message, this conversation offers practical takeaways grounded in deep expertise and real-world research. Andrew's insights cut through the noise and help us see virtual communication not as a limitation, but as an opportunity to be more human, more clear and more connected… no matter the channel.

Today on Moment of Zen, we're airing a conversation with economist Noah Smith and Substack CEO Chris Best discussing the evolving media landscape. They dive into whether Twitter's dominance is waning, what features a successor platform would need, and how artificial intelligence is set to transform media as we know it. This conversation originally took place live on Noah's Substack: https://www.noahpinion.blog/ --

With some high-profile CEOs demanding workers return to the office five days a week, and others touting the benefits of fully remote work, many companies compromised and ended up somewhere in the middle. But that hybrid compromise can often bring the worst of both worlds. Wharton professor Peter Cappelli and senior HR strategist Ranya Nehmeh have looked deeply at what is going wrong with hybrid - and how leaders can make it right. They explain practical ways to improve meetings, build culture, and inspire commitment from employees in a hybrid model, which is most likely here to stay. Cappelli and Nehmeh are the authors of the forthcoming book In Praise of the Office: The Limits to Hybrid and Remote Work and the HBR article "Hybrid Still Isn't Working".

In this back-to-back commentary blitz, Tara and Producer Tim begin with a jaw-dropping look at Gen Z's remote work culture—where nearly half admit to sex on the clock and a shocking percentage demand private spaces for “hookups and solo play” in the office. The segment swerves into comedic territory with a deep (and slightly too detailed) discussion of “office chair butt.” But things take a serious turn as Tara delivers a fiery indictment of U.S. foreign policy failures with Iran, warning of escalating tensions and calling for a decisive, no-boots-on-the-ground end to the Ayatollah's nuclear ambitions. A blend of cultural absurdity and geopolitical urgency.

In this hilarious yet hard-hitting segment, Tara and Producer Tim dive into a bizarre new Gen Z workplace poll revealing surprising reasons some workers love remote jobs—hint: it's not productivity. The duo mock the shocking stat that 38% want “private spaces for hookups” at the office and riff on the phenomenon of “office chair butt.” But the tone shifts dramatically as Tara pivots to rising tensions with Iran, condemning decades of weak U.S. responses and praising Trump's strategy of decisive action without nation building. A fast-paced rollercoaster of laughs, jaw-dropping facts, and fiery political commentary.

Today's show takes a wild ride through America's shifting culture and escalating foreign policy threats. Tara and Producer Tim kick things off with an outrageous new poll showing nearly half of Gen Z is enjoying more sex during remote work—and nearly 40% say they'd return to the office if “private hookup spaces” were provided. The conversation turns hilariously uncomfortable with the rise of “office chair butt”—flattened physiques from too much sitting—prompting fitness tips and personal confessions. But the tone turns serious as Tara launches into a fiery monologue on the U.S.–Iran conflict, detailing Israel's precision strikes on Iranian missile launchers and calling out the Biden administration and the Democrat party for appeasing Iran. She lays bare Iran's history of proxy attacks, assassination attempts on Trump, and the deaths of U.S. soldiers, demanding decisive action to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions—without nation building or boots on the ground. Tara draws a sharp line between strong, focused military deterrence and the costly blunders of the past, warning listeners that the world can't afford more indecision. A packed episode filled with jaw-dropping cultural trends, unapologetic truth-telling, and the real stakes of global conflict.
