Nicholas Bloom, a Stanford professor and remote work expert, dives into the hybrid work model's effects on lifestyle and urban living. He reveals that hybrid setups aren't as doomed as some fear, but they foster a shift toward suburbia, known as the 'donut effect.' Bloom discusses surprising survey findings, including younger workers' preference for hybrid over fully remote options, emphasizing the need for in-person interactions. He also explores innovative technologies shaping the future of remote work and addresses urban economic shifts stemming from these changes.
