Is the grass really greener on the other side? Mandatory in-office workers are about to find out during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Be honest, you’ve had a tinge of jealously towards the estimated under 5% of us “work from home” professionals, right?

I mean we get to work from the pool, coffee shops, and even travel the world without the constraints of micro-managers wanting us to use those big brother time tracking programs and be present every Monday to Friday from 9-5 sitting in our office or cubicle...even when you’ve completed your meaningful work!

Remote workers have the life! You’ve dreamt of this moment, until you realized this week (or will be realizing it very soon) that it isn’t as glorious and easy as you thought...

Don’t believe the hype from someone that has worked from home since late 2012. Working from home is fucking hard. Its hard because there is no structured routine that society has built over centuries. I believe great people thrive in crisis, so this is your time to shine! To help, I thought I would try and share some basic tips and tricks that has allowed me to grow multiple businesses in a non-routine work environment.

Can you imagine spending almost $4 billion to gain access to the hottest beverage club in the U.S.? That is what essentially PepsiCo did when they acquired Rockstar Energy. 

One of the lead PepsiCo strategy executives said on Linkedin, “This is one of the largest and most transformational deals PepsiCo ever made and it will dramatically accelerate our growth trajectory for years to come.” Why are they making such a big deal about this purchase?

I dig into those reasons and more in this episode of The Joshua Schall Audio Experience...

"A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats..."

Coldstone Creamery ice cream flavored whey protein, Warheads flavored pre-workout, Swedish Fish flavored BCAAs, and the list continues to grow with sports nutrition brands using authentically licensed flavors in their products, but is that differentiation strategy about to get tougher soon?Recently, Post Holdings and Dymatize Nutrition (which Post Holdings owns through BellRing Brands) launched a Pebbles Cereal flavored protein that I believe changed the market dynamics of sports nutrition brands attempting to acquire licensing from other food/beverage IP owners. Find out why in this audio version of a recent episode of my popular Deep Dish CPG YouTube series. 

I would like to welcome you to the Joshua Schall Audio Experience. The first official upload will focus around what this podcast is about, why I decided to launch it, and when will I launch new episodes of this podcast. Additionally, I will share a bit about myself at the end for those that aren't familiar with me or my story.

Truth is, this podcast has been hyped up since I started creating YouTube videos in July 2018, but now it feels amazing to finally move this project from "boy who cried wolf status" to now a new living breathing representation of my passion to share my thoughts, opinions, and insights. 

Thank you for supporting me on this journey...we are only getting started!
