What does productivity actually look like when your office could be anywhere in the world?

In this episode of Plugged In, Barry Weston sits down with Anthony Tripyear, a technology consultant who works with companies across Europe as a fractional sales and revenue leader. His work regularly takes him between countries, client offices, home workspaces, and some surprisingly unusual locations—including a safari in South Africa and even a police station.

Instead of productivity hacks or hustle culture advice, this conversation explores how real work gets done when your environment is constantly changing.

Anthony shares how he structures his day while balancing client work, international travel, and family life, why he still relies on pen and paper for planning, and how a simple set of tools—from noise-canceling headphones to a portable monitor—helps him stay focused wherever he opens his laptop.

The conversation also dives into the realities of remote work, including the misconceptions people still have about working from home and why productivity often looks very different depending on where—and how—you work.

If you've ever wondered how professionals stay effective while constantly on the move, this episode offers a candid look at what actually works.
