Remote Work: The Dream, The Struggle, and The Reality Check
💭 "Remote work is the future!" they said. "You'll love the freedom!" they promised.
And yet… here we are, burnt out, over-snacking, and wondering if we should just buy another standing desk to fix our working lives.
In this episode, Tyler White and Nick Groeneveld pull back the curtain on what remote work is REALLY like—from the dream of working in sweatpants to the nightmare of never logging off.
We’re diving into:
✅ Why the "remote work dream" is under pressure (and how to stay sane).
✅ The management mistakes that ruin remote teams.
✅ How to build company culture when everyone’s in different time zones.
✅ The freelancing vs. full-time flexibility trap (and what no one tells you).
✅ The silent killer of remote work productivity (hint: it’s not Netflix).
🎧 If you’ve ever found yourself working from your couch, eating lunch at 4 PM, and wondering if you should just go back to an office, this episode is for you.
