SHOW NOTES:
**Topic 1 - **Origin story of The Cloudcast (brief)
**Topic 2 - **It’s now been 529 days since the world shut down (in the US). How many Zoom calls have you attended in that time?
**Topic 3 - **“It can take anywhere from 18 to 254 days for a person to form a new habit and an average of 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic.” What new, work-related habits have you formed?
**Topic 4 - **How do you expect people to keep up with new technologies?
**Topic 5 - **We’re at a weird stage, where lots of people say that they want to work-from-home (full or part-time), for various reasons (e.g. avoid commutes, cube-mates chews too loud, etc.), but also claim to be more burned out. Do you think people will take the time to learn new stuff?
**Topic 6 - **Has the pandemic changed anything about how you’re effective? Do you think it’ll be permanent, or do you still have the “we’ll get back to normal” mindset?
**Topic 7 - **Any tips or tricks to be an effective remote worker and tech leader?
