In this episode Jason and Dr. Bob discuss:

• Making work fun - work and life integration
• Remote work vs in-office work
• Building connections even in remote environments 

Key Takeaways: 

• If we keep work and fun separate, we’re going to have a cynical work environment. 
• Research shows that people are more productive when working from home and we should listen to the people to see what they really want and what works for them. 
• There are ways to deepen company relationships even in a remote environment. 

“If you don’t have ability but you have drive and passion, you can overcome it and gain ability. If you have ability without motivation, you’re not gonna have much performance anyway.” - Dr. Bob Nelson
