Remotely Prepared Podcast

If you didn’t see it yesterday, there is a new podcast in town. In all reality, there are probably a number of them, but this one is new to me. The past few months have put an exceptional load on people and businesses as they shift their workforces to working remotely bringing up a number of new struggles and changes which they are having to implement while running their current operations. I’ve likened it to putting the car into reverse when you’re already going 100 km/hr and see how the car likes that. A colleague (Colin Harding) and I thought
