Enterprise Geeks - the Virtual Worker

[craigcmehil]

Cross Posted from Enterprise Geeks

As so many of the community have been, are or becoming virtual workers I felt this podcast might be very interesting for you. The Enterprise Geeks are also compiling a list of tips and tricks to make the move to becoming a virtual worker easier as well as to make your life as a virtual worker more efficient. 

In this monster of a podcast, we gather up three guest hosts (Craig Cmehil, Dan McWeeney, and Rich Heilman) to fill in for Ed while he is moving. In our gift to Ed, we explore the issue of the Virtual Worker and share tips and tricks from our own experiences as Virtual Workers. While on the subject of virtual environments, we also transition into a discussion on Virtual Events vs. Physical Events.   If you have questions, suggestions, or topic ideas for future episodes, give us a shout here.  Enjoy!  Running Time: 1 hour 17 minutes
