In this Social Soup Morsel, we’re featuring a bite of our conversation with Chris Kann, owner of CSK marketing and Chris Kann Coaching.

Chris talks with Michelle about staying sharp, embracing lifelong learning, and rejecting the “sit on a porch and retire” mindset. From New York Times puzzles to setting her own schedule, Chris shares how she keeps her brain engaged and her work meaningful. She and Michelle also discuss remote work vs. office life. And how some of us have kinda gone feral (in a good way) after getting used to working from home.
