This is it guys, episode 12, the conclusion of the inaugural season of the Teammate Apart Podcast. I’d like to personally thank each and every guest who took a chance on our show in this first season, and also to each and everyone one of the many thousands who have downloaded the show over the course of these past 12 weeks. Despite the fact that our world has gone from remote work as a subject to be considered, to remote work as a subject to be overcome, in the blink of an eye, the information shared by our experts over the tenure of this season has no doubt aided those struggling in these crazy times, and the perennial nature of the subjects and content will no doubt continue to serve those in need as our world transitions into the new normal—whatever it looks like.

In closing, thank you all again for your ongoing support and I look forward to seeing you all in August for Season 2. Until then stay safe, stay healthy, and keep your eye on teammateapart.com for some exciting announcements in the coming days and weeks.
