July 28, 2022

The pandemic caused many companies to shut down and go remote, which affected many small businesses who cater to corporate office workers.

Then we’ll talk to Stanford professor Nick Bloom to get a bigger picture of the economic issues surrounding remote work from, from questions about commuting or real estate, to challenges around equity and productivity.
