Future Work/Life Podstorm #1: Introducing the world’s first work/life podstorm
So it's the 1st of January, 2021 and we've left that very strange year of 2020 behind us. I made the (possibly) rash decision this morning to launch series two of this podcast earlier than planned. Inspired by Christopher Lochhead - the first guest on Take My Advice (I'm Not Using It) - I've decided to record the world's very first Work/Life Podstorm. What's a 'podstorm' I hear you ask? Well, you might be familiar with a 'tweetstorm' - a series of tweets sent in rapid succession - and Christopher brought the idea of a 'podstorm' to my attention early in lockdown last year when he broadcast a month's worth of marketing tips over thirty days. Every day this January, I will share my thoughts on the changing relationship between our work and personal lives with you. I'll do this by recording some of my newsletters from 2020 and some new thinking as we go into 2021. There'll be an episode in your podcast inbox every morning, and if you enjoy it, please sign up to the newsletter Future Work/Life on Substack. You can find a link in the show notes, along with a link to the original newsletter, which also contains a selection of interesting stories from that week. Please also make sure to subscribe to Take My Advice (I'm Not Using It), on which regular play will resume with series three in February.A happy new year to you and I hope you enjoy.LINKS:Future Work/Life newsletterFWL#1 Hosted on Acast.
