In this episode, Daniele and Guy talk about the Workplace, including the need for rest, practical ideas on how to manage workload and communication channels, and how there are many things everyone can do to make their workplace better, even if they aren’t in a position of authority.
Note: We used a new service to record this episode, and I (Guy) neglected to set up my levels properly, so there are points where my audio is a little distorted. I tried to fix this as much as possible in “post”, but it’s still noticeable. Sorry for this drop in quality - it’s a valuable lesson learned!
