Episode notes

The big buzzwords right now are both AI and AR. And I think everyone has a sense that both are going to change everything in ways that we're not quite sure how, how will either or both impact the future of remote work? So super interesting question. It's been kind of fascinating to watch these two trends develop simultaneously. We've got chat GPT on one side, which simplifies a lot of work on one side. And then we've got Apple Vision Pro, which is almost as a user experience, the opposite of chat GPT. One is simple and minimalist. Apple Vision Pro is immersive.

#447: We talk to Stanford economist Nick Bloom about his groundbreaking research on working from home.

Nick has been studying remote work for more than 20 years – since the 1990’s, when people were “telecommuting.” His research, in real-time, looked at how events such as 9/11 shaped attitudes about remote work.

The pandemic created a surge of interest in his research. It brought many newcomers to the field. But Nick has the benefit of historical knowledge. He’s spent his career deep-diving into this topic.

Nick sheds light on the advantages and challenges of remote work, drawing from extensive data and analysis. He shares surprising numbers and statistics.

We discuss productivity, collaboration, employee well-being and organizational dynamics. We also discuss the impact of remote work on cities and housing.

Enjoy!
