e28/ How to Make Meetings Less Terrible
<p>With a slight delay due to very important reasons (fighting off an evil alien race and solving some quantum physics problems), we managed to record our latest episode. In this episode, we talk about what we have been up to lately, why meetings suck and how to make them less terrible, and why remote work has probably come to stay. Finally, you will witness something that we thought was once impossible; Pete doesn’t love Elon Musk anymore, and he has some good reasons to do so. </p><br/><p>As always, relax and tune in for some Futurish time with Pete and Gerhard. &lt;3</p><br/><p><strong>References:</strong></p><br/><ul><br/> <li>Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday</li><br/> <li>Starward Whiskey</li><br/> <li>Animal Crossing</li><br/> <li>Sous Vide</li><br/> <li>Frisbee Golfing</li><br/> <li>Vanguard (Investment Platform)</li><br/></ul> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

e26/ How to Deal with Coronavirus Anxiety
<p>Crazy times we're living in, aren’t we? In this episode, Pete and Gerhard come together to exchange their experience of the coronavirus pandemic as two normal citizens in this world. We look into how Australia and Finland are dealing with the crisis and how we try to make the best out of it. What opportunities can future employers do to change their working culture to support more remote work, and how might we get rid of traditional brick and mortar solutions such as physical supermarkets? We also discuss how to use this time to reflect, reground and come out stronger at the end of this crisis - both as individuals and as a human race.</p><br/><p>As always, relax and tune in for some Futurish time with Pete and Gerhard :heart:</p><br/><p>References:</p><br/><ul><br/> <li><a href="https://jour.com/">Jour - Journaling App</a></li><br/> <li>It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson</li><br/> <li><a href="https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/coronavirus-in-australia-singapores-model-of-containment-how-it-worked-and-why-its-effective/news-story/b31d967b5da2a6c2c77cac1cda30f8df">Singapore’s model of tracking users with GPS and daily check-ins</a></li><br/> <li>Location based alert system (<a href="https://timesofisrael.com/health-ministry-begins-controversial-tracking-of-coronavirus-patients">Israel starts using GPS to alert users who were in proximity of a confirmed corona patient</a>)</li><br/> <li>Animal Crossing: New Horizons</li><br/></ul> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
