It's certainly not a new concept, but the thought of a work-life balance has been growing in conversations in recent years. There might be a correlation with the rise of hybrid and remote working, but what matters is how one can work and be satisfied with their job while also enjoying their life. When you add things like family and relationships and even hobbies into the mix, things become more complicated than ever. Today we are joined by Client Success Manager for Control Concepts Brittany DiCesare and Head of Pro Audio Business Development for Sennheiser Matt Buckner to talk about that balancing act. We discuss how they approach their work and personal lives, finding the time for the important things and much more.
