Due to having a cold and somewhat scratchy voice, Camille is going to do something a little different with today's episode. She doesn't know if she's ever done this on the show but feels like this may make it a little easier to listen to her. And that is she is going to read an article that she came across on MarketWatch. 

Not everyone has access to MarketWatch, but Camille is a subscriber because she thinks they put out some really great content, some informative articles, and she wants to share one of those with you today. She is going to read the article and if she read the whole thing, it would take about eight minutes. So, she may skip some parts. But she wants to actually read you the article so that you get all of the information. 

And then at the end, she will give you her reactions to the article and what she thinks. Now the full title is called:  "Will Trump's Tough Stance on Remote Work Drag Everyone Else Back to the Office?" And then it says, "Don't Bet on It."  She also wants you to know that she does not intend to get political in this episode. 

So, what she is really wanting to do is just talk about what's happening at the federal level and how she thinks that may impact what we're going to see related to remote work. But rather than just tell her opinion, she'd like for you to hear the article so that you can form your own opinion and see if you agree or disagree. 

This article was published on January 25th, 2025. So at the time of this recording, that's about two days ago and it was written by Andrew Kasztner. Camille doesn't actually know who Andrew Kesner is and she could research him. But instead, she is going to trust that this person knows what they're talking about. 

So, join her now as she reads this very interesting article.

Welcome back to the show and thank you for listening! Thank you for listening. You know, I haven't really thanked people for listening in a long time. It's probably because I haven't been recording a lot of podcasts. And I just assume that people aren't listening, but I want to thank you for showing up today.   

Today, I felt compelled to address a topic that might resonate with many of you—fears that job seekers over 50 often share with me. While I typically focus on offering solutions, this episode is more about acknowledging and exploring those fears to help you feel less alone. Sometimes, simply hearing that others share your concerns can be more valuable than receiving advice. But, since I always like to give solutions, I’ll certainly offer some ideas and solutions. But in a way, I almost feel like it's more important for you to hear the fears and concerns that people have, because I think you may be feeling some of these same fears and concerns. 

I want to boil them down to the ones that are most prevalent. The ones I hear about the most. So, number one will be age. I mean, that's kind of an obvious one, but number two will be gap in employment that comes up a lot. Number three would be outdated skills. Number four kind of the opposite. And that would be people who feel overqualified when all they really want is kind of an easier job. And then the last one would be having to take a pay cut or having their pay impacted in some way


Maybe you related to some of these, maybe you have your own. And if you do go ahead and just email us. There's a link here in the show notes.
[email protected]

And you can just put in the title, My Fear. How about that? You can let us know what your fear is, and we'll address it; we'll talk about it. If it's similar to these or different or something specific, let us know. We're always really curious and we always have some really helpful tips and strategies and resources for you.

Welcome back to the show—or welcome if this is your first time listening. It’s the first episode of 2025, and I'll be kicking things off with a very popular topic. You’ve probably seen this subject all over the internet: the top trends in the job market. Whether it’s online work, remote work, in-person work, virtual work, or any other kind of work you can imagine, we will be diving into what’s ahead.

Talking about trends is a long-standing tradition here on The Remote Work Retirement Show. Since day one, I have been sharing insights on what’s shaping the way we work, and today, I'm going to narrow it down to the five most important trends for 2025. Plus, I'll discuss what you can do to adapt to or take advantage of these trends.

Here’s how I'm going to tackle it: First I will give you a high-level list, and then I’ll go through each trend in detail. And, of course, there will be micro-trends sprinkled along the way to give you the full picture.

The Five Top Job Market Trends for 2025

1. Artificial Intelligence and Automation
   How AI and automation are reshaping the workplace—and what it means for you.
2. Skills-Based Hiring
   The growing focus on skills over degrees and experience in recruitment.
3. Human Skills vs. Tech Skills
   Balancing interpersonal skills with the technical know-how demanded in today’s jobs.
4. The Gig Economy
   Why freelancing and gig work continue to grow and how to thrive in this space.
5. Remote Work
   No surprise here—it wouldn’t be The Remote Work Retirement Show without a deep dive into what’s next for remote work.

In episode 103, Camille breaks down her time in North Carolina and her volunteer work with the organization "All Hands and All Hearts" in the recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene that she started back in October. Six states were hit by this hurricane, with North Carolina being one of, if not the, hardest hit. Unexpectedly hard hit. 

If you are a new listener to Camille’s podcasts, this is a big story, and you may want to start at the beginning with episodes 101 and 102 for more background and what led Camille to wanting to do this. If you are a returning guest, while it has taken a little longer for this episode to happen, you will not be disappointed by the wait. It’s exciting, emotional, informative, and so relatable. 

This is a mostly freeform episode, and Camille will be sharing her most valuable insights, key points, tips, resources, experiences, and how remote work fits in. During this time, she got sick, did a lot of physical labor, met great people, formed friendships, and she even has a surprise to reveal. So, kick back, relax, and listen to what turned out to be a lifechanging experience for our Camille Attell.

Here is Camille's direct link for All Hands and All Hearts, the organization she will be working with, and she talks about in this episode. All donations will go directly to them. Please feel free to share.

In this episode, Camille continues her volunteer work with All Hands and Hearts, helping with the disaster relief following hurricane Helene in North and South Carolina.

This week has been eventful, and she eager to share her experiences, even if it leans a bit toward self-reflection. There is value in her insights despite the personal nature of her reflections. Camille's intent is to balance sharing her journey with providing you something meaningful to take away, making this more than just a monologue. She wants to capture the essence of this week, not only for herself but also for anyone tuning in.

Currently, she is on the road, volunteering in North Carolina, having just come from South Carolina. Due to her travel circumstances, the audio quality may not match what you're used to, as she is recording with basic headphones instead of her usual microphone setup. 

In this episode, Camille will cover four main topics, with a focus on All Hands and Hearts and the unique experience of volunteering remotely. First, she'll explain what the organization does, which is to provide both immediate relief and long-term rebuilding for communities affected by natural disasters. Founded in 2005, they mobilize volunteers from around the world, even those with no prior construction experience, to assist in disaster-stricken areas, including locations like the Caribbean, Nepal, and the U.S. Their response is swift; in North Carolina, they set up operations just three days after Hurricane Helene.

Next, she will highlight the collaborative approach of All Hands and Hearts, which partners with other organizations and governmental bodies like FEMA. This teamwork enhances the effectiveness of their relief efforts, ensuring that they can mobilize resources and support as needed. Each project site is staffed with experts who guide and train volunteers on the necessary tasks, from safety precautions to using tools properly. This mentorship is crucial for those learning on the job, and it demonstrates the importance of having experienced leaders available.

Lastly, she will connect her volunteering experience to the broader theme of working remotely. While many people focus on specific technical skills when seeking employment, the willingness to learn and adaptability are equally valuable. Just as All Hands and Hearts prioritizes trainable individuals, employers in any field often seek candidates with strong soft skills and a coachable mindset. So, don’t underestimate your potential; you likely possess transferable skills that can be developed further, whether in volunteer work or a remote job.

In this episode. Camille introduces us to her friend, Bill Trinkle, in an interview about her upcoming volunteer efforts to assist with the Helene disaster recovery in the Ashville, North Carolins area, and how their mutual ties to that community has brought them together for a few days. 

Bill and his wife, Porter, have hosted Camille for a few days so she can gather the rest of the supplies needed and have a day or two to get organized and prepare for her 6-week commitment to the cause. Since they are only a few hours from the ground site, they will be transporting Camille and her belongings to the base camp. 

They will talk RVing and remote work, complete with an amusing story, and the more serious ramifications of the disastrous conditions Helene left in her wake. And, as in last week’s episode, Camille will also provide her direct link for donations to All Hands and Hearts, the organization with which Camille is volunteering.

It's time to join Camille and her husband, Bryce, on the final part of their journey to see the solar eclipse and beyond. If you haven't caught the previous episodes, you really should take the opportunity to go back and listen to those in order. Start with episode 96. 97, 98, and finally, this episode, 99. It is quite a journey.

After 33 days on the road, she has real insight into traveling with a trailer rather than a motor home, and the difficulties, and fun they had along the way. It was intense and exhilarating and exhausting.

But they got to visit old friends and new friends and favorites spots along the way. There were even some turtles and fish involved. So, once again, let’s join Camille as she continues this last part of her journey, a journey which incorporated remote work into all aspects. Listen as she tells you how.

You're listening to the remote work retirement show. I'm your host, Camille Attell. And this is the only show that helps semi-retirees figure out their remote work options.

I believe the remote work is the new retirement plan and that many retirees have both the ability and desire to work how they want so they can live how they want. Let's dig into today's episode....

In episode 98, we pick up with Part 3 of Road Trip with Me: Solar Eclipse.

If you've been listening to the whole series since part one, Camille has talked about the journey of going out to Paris, Texas, which is where she and her husband were going to view the solar eclipse. In part two, she talked about getting to Paris and gearing up for the event.

Today Camille is finally going to talk about the actual solar eclipse. So, this was a pretty big buildup, sort of like a Netflix release where there's all this hype and marketing and you're just waiting for the actual event itself.

It wasn’t planned that way, that's just how it turned out. It is a bit of storytelling, and it is a departure from her show norm, which is pretty much practical tips, information and resources about remote work. However, a number of people have told her that they really do enjoy it when she does a little bit of storytelling and goes off the beaten path because they just like to follow along with the journey.

So, let’s join her for this next installment …
