Today is a solo episode! I am talking about productivity during quarantine and how being productive during a pandemic NEEDS to be talked about. Is it possible to achieve balance? Or is that a myth? Should we be productive or should we use this as time off? I also talk about being a future-driven person during a time where we have no idea how the future will go. And then I introduce Nat Chats- a potential new segment all about the future of the corporate work space. I loved talking about a random topic and would love to add this in. Let me know what you think. Where can you find us?
