We spend over 72% of our lives either sitting in traffic, at work or asleep.
This begs the question, of are we actually living if the two-thirds majority of our lives are spent not living the life the way we choose to?
We are going to push to disrupt the 5 day work week, to innovate a way of doing business and to survival. Let’s make changes in something established, amend the “normal” and introduce new methods, ideas, products and standards to ensure that our lives are taken back. Let’s explore technology, life and the world together and forever change the way we define the Modern Business Culture.
On today's special episode of the Work Wherever Podcast, Roy is joined by special guest, Josh Kosnick- speaker, podcast host, and Kairos Program Leader. Roy and Josh dive into how to recruiting, hiring, process building, and cultivating stronger teams that are aligned with your company culture and vision.

On this Monday's episode of the Work Wherever Podcast, Roy discusses the importance of collaborative intelligence, and its role in the future of business. Working with automation, instead of it having it work for you, is the key to successful collaboration.

On this Monday's episode of the Work Wherever Podcast, Roy breaks down Twitter's newest policy requiring employees to be in the office a minimum of 40 hours per week, and surprisingly agrees.
Company culture is vital to successfully remote work. In Twitter's case, calling employees back and rebuilding may be exactly what the company needs to survive.

You don't wanna miss this!
This Monday, Roy Edwards takes on the Work Wherever Podcast solo to discuss artificial intelligence in the workplace and the use of a bot in the HR department.
This episode drops gems on the proper training for AI and its possible uses such as automation, support tickets, and ticket tracking. Businesses could save 30 hours per employee per implementation of AI! You must be careful how you implement it, but ultimately, if you want to invest in your people, you need collaborative intelligence.
Will Collaborative Intelligence take over the role of over 40% of employees who are spending a quarter of their time on manual, repetitive tasks?
You don't wanna miss this!

Nature can bring you and your business so many benefits! If you're looking to learn more about different RVs and how you can combine work and the ability to get away and enjoy the outdoors, this episode is for you!
This week Roy tackles another hypothetical!
How much does that commute really cost?
Roy mentions studies showing that full-time workers in the largest cities were spending nearly an hour a day commuting. The average round trip commute in the 100 largest cities is 52 minutes, equating to an average annual opportunity cost of $5,600.
At some point, you'll be faced with the opportunity to never have to go to an office again.
With that said, hypothetically, would you take $10,000 less knowing that you're spending these things on going to the office?
On this week's episode of the Work Wherever Podcast, Roy is joined by Sydney Brown to talk remote work. They cover working from the road, the travel industry, and how cities are being built around the trend of remote work.
If you don’t work with your hands and work with your brain, you can work remotely!
Almost half of American workers would take a pay cut to continue working remotely after the coronavirus pandemic. Some of the highest earning households had some remote capacity to them with these positions causing individuals to be willing to take a pay cut to work from home.
Between parking, gas money, and breakfast stops, how much are you really saving by commuting to the office?
This week, Roy touches on how many try to fix things with people or technology.
Salespeople want you to buy the NEW technology to “make your life easier," but there is no single software streaming service program that will provide you with a better quality of life. Using technology to leverage a refined process multiples production, however, using technology as a solution to poor processes, multiples problems. Similarly, Roy notes the importance of refining the rules and processes before you begin to add more people.
You make life easier, faster, and better by defining who you are, what your core values are, and how to do things.
Tune in for all the gems about processes, people, and technology!
This week's episode touches on a "What If" scenario. Roy talks about retirement by generation, with baby boomers currently retiring and Gen Z next in line. For so long the dynamic has been to work hard and then someday... you can live every day like it's Saturday... and possibly only get to enjoy it for a few years.
Roy speaks on challenging this mindset and taking advantage of the opportunity to go full remote.
Every day should be Saturday... NOW!
We should be living... NOW!
You can be successful AND spend time with family. You can be successful AND take vacations. There are career paths where this is possible, that does not require a college degree, but just hard work and dedication! There is a shortage of developers.
70% believe social security will collapse. So, what are you doing now, to make every day Saturday?
Roy challenges you to start living now!
This episode talks about the future of remote work. Roy covers how this affects the way we build our communities. There are some thought leaders and managers who still believe a 9 hour work day at the office is the only way to be productive. There's a battle between a grasp for control and innovation.
2019 was a peak time for studies supporting remote work as the future. Microsoft released a study in 2018 predicting the same. These were all pre-pandemic!
Will remote work be a trend or will it accelerate more than it already has? How will remote work change our communities?
Business culture seems to be the hot topic amongst society as of late. Which brought upon a question; what does it mean to "define a culture"?
Do you know who established the culture at your current employer?
The widest of spectrums was used in this weeks episode as Roy utilizes examples ranging from the bible to American Football.
Think about the core values that you hold in high regard as well as, and probably even more so, why you hold them in such high regard.
I challenge you to always be someone that you would want work for.
Just how different are our lives when it comes to our jobs now compared to how they were prior to pandemic?
Roy is joined by April Dunham to discuss just that.
From the stigma that was associated with working from home, how strange it was to receive a call during "dinner hours" as well as the subtle and not-so-subtle differences between then and now.
My how the world has changed.
I think it's safe to say that there was not a single person on planet Earth who made it out totally unscathed during this pandemic. Many jobs were dissolved after being deemed "non-essential" while others were became over-worked and unable to keep up with demand.
The Real Estate/House Flipping market was no different. This week, Roy is joined by Stag Mountain Properties CEO Nate Hirschberg to discuss how he responded to the constant changing and adjusting required to meet safety guidelines while also remaining profitable. Let me tell you...he does not disappoint or withhold any gems to keep for himself.
That's right, Roy is back! Welcome to the Work Wherever Podcast.
In this debut episode, Roy is joined by a familiar face and podcast regular Katrina Ghazarian. The two discuss the struggles and hurdles that companies and their employees have/continue to face as a result of the Corona virus as well as our attempt to adjust and safely operate during that time.
With much of the country slowly returning to a modified version of what we used to know as normal operations, Roy and Katrina shed light on factors that are causing complications and delays for both the employer and the employees.
Digital transformation has become more important than ever with more than 80% of business leaders, across all industries, intending to accelerate their digital transformation in the coming years. Understanding this transformation and managing it within your business is going to become, if it isn't already, a necessity.
So what is business transformation? It's innovation of your business through technology. Some examples we have seen are; contactless shopping, eCommerce explosion, curb side pick up, virtual events, and my favorite the hybrid-remote workplace.
So how do you keep up and organize your business communication when your workforce exists remotely, or even globally?
I'm glad you asked.
Hybrid Communication is not a luxury, it's a necessity.
As businesses move to a move hybrid and remote business model, remote communication best practices become ever more important. Roy dives into three tips for both the business manager/owner and the everyday individual to better communicate with co-workers, employees and loved ones.
These three tips (6 in total, three business, three individual) break down the importance of non-verbal communication with physical presence can not be obtained. Roy believes that the traditional office space is a thing of the past and will never return to the way it once was. Never again will we have a meeting that does not have a dial in, and never again will we not be having participants of a meeting in a virtual capacity - so it's time to break down ways to make these meetings more productive and increase your Modern Business culture.
Three tips to better communication within your business, marriage or personal life. The number one wish from employees from polls we ran with over 10,000 responses from businesses and Government agencies of all sizes, was that they wished their organization had better communication.
Employees are tired of being left out of the loop. They want to know what's going on, even if it has nothing to do with them.
Communication is one of, if not the most important area of your business and it can help you scale or shut your doors for good. You can never get too good at communication, so much so that one of our core values at Capitol Presence is "Over Communication", because "Secrets, Secrets are no fun."
Forget the "loose lips, sink ships" and let your employees know what's going on. They will respect you more for it, and work harder and do their part to correct it.
In this episode Roy goes over his recent trip and Working Wherever as he took to 22 days of life without a home, including 12 days in an RV - without taking a day off. During this time he goes over having moved out of his home and the process involved of moving out, into storage units for holding and then moving those boxes into their new home.
Why go over this process?
Because it directly relates to businesses and organizations who are standing up, migrating or organizing their documents and information.
We cover the importance of organizing your information, which information to move or focus on creating first, and how to build around your necessities on which information and documents to bring into your production environment next.

Enter the backlog.
A backlog is a list of tasks or action items required to support your larger plan and EPIC. In a personal development context, it contains a prioritized list of items that the you have acknowledged that you need to work on or pay attention to next.

Scoring is a measurement of Level of Effort (commonly referred to as LOE in the Technology world). This level of effort is a scale you might have seen used as "Low" "Moderate" "High" in the past, and functions in a similar way.
Because not all tasks and actions are created equal. There are certain things we need to accomplish that are easier than others, and this needs to be accounted for. Just because you got 10 things done this week and 2 the next, doesn't necessarily mean you were less productive. Those two things could have carried a much larger LOE and could actually mean you got MORE accomplished.
Through a numbering system that makes sense to you, and keeping that consistent. I prefer a deviation of the Fibonacci Sequence which uses numbers to dictate the level of effort needed to complete a task or action.

So far in this series we have talked about EPICS, Sprints and Stories. This is the next step and the most important step in the entire process.
The Agile and Scrum methodologies were missing out on this, and that's why I fixed it. If you want to go back and listen to the previous episodes go right ahead, after all they will help you better understand this episode and you will get the most of your year, and will see the most progress. However, if you have to listen to only one podcast I ever do, this is the one.
This is not the end, but the half way point. Next up will cover scoring, backlog and icebox - but none of those matter in comparison this episode.

Welcome to the next step in our EPIC journey and tackling those goals we have established for ourselves. The next stage here are Stories.
Stories are short stories that make up your Epic journey.
They are the things you wish to accomplish, that don’t necessarily need to be daily tasks or actions (although some of them will be).
In Business these could be prepping for meetings, actions needed to take towards developing and application (like building out the user navigation for example), and then Outside of business and in your personal life this could be something you wish to hit in a 2 to 3 week period.

Now 2021 is here. We have our marathon, no pun intended – in our EPIC.
So now what?
Well, Lets talk about Sprints.
In a previous episode I talked about what an epic is and the reasoning behind them. With the new Year here, your resolutions should become your epics – or at least influence them. I tend to stay away from EPICs that I can’t directly control or that hold one time endings.
That’s where sprints come in.
A Sprint is a two week period where you should be attacking your goals. These sprints are made up of measurable tasks that we chip away at on a daily basis through Bricks. But how do Sprints work?
Allow me to introduce the ceremonies. Three ceremonies that will change the way you approach your goals forever.

The Santa Spotlight is something that people have been debating in recent years. This idea that Santa shouldn’t get all the credit for gifts because it promotes the idea that the parents didn’t work hard for the gifts, and instead spotlights some unknown magic where the children are instead ungrateful to their parents.
As projects and years come to a close there are two ways we can approach the end of Quarter and the end of year. One, we can grab for each bit of credit, after all as business owners, managers and entrepreneurs – isn’t credit due to those in charge?
Or we can do what a good manager and leaders do – and give the credit to the magic of the team, the company – the metaphorical Santa.

What are EPICs and why should we care?
With 2020 coming to an end it is time to look forward to 2021 and all the glory it has to offer us. A promise of new beginnings, new goals and new accomplishments. But now is the time to make those goals and write them down. Without documentation of the goals and the EPIC quest we are about to take on, how can we possibly know what to take on each day? Before we right a single daily planner for 2021, we first need to define what we want to do and have accomplished this time next year.
Let's break down EPICs, how to define them and how to set up ourselves for success.

Are you Hate to Lose or Love to win?
There are generally two different types of people in this world, especially in competition, and those people are either you love to win and are driven by winning, the feelings or winning – celebration and the feelings of accomplishments in your life, or you hate to lose and you are driven by the absolute hate of the feeling of gut check, disappointment and anger of missed opportunity.
While no matter your drive competition sits in all of us. While some people will claim to say that “they’re not competitive” – they’re in fact lying. It’s in our nature to be competitive, that’s the feeling of jealousy when your brother or sister gets more attention than you from your parents when you were younger, when your best friend gets a better Christmas present or gets the present you wanted, it’s the feeling when someone scored better than you on a quiz you busted your ass on – and the obvious – it’s the feeling you get when someone else is attempting to take something from you.

Let’s talk about accountability. Accountability is defined as the fact or condition of being responsible – meaning to take responsibility of something and taking ownership. It’s defined as a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone – for instance I am responsible for my children and am accountable for their actions in public and in the grocery store.
We have to understand that we have to be able to act independently and make decisions without authorization. And if we can not do that, if we can not learn to do the right thing when no one is watching the problem is not with someone else – it is with ourselves.

I noticed that I have not been fully transparent on this podcast, and for that I apologize. I have talked about my background with guests on the show, but not given you the full story of who I am and where I have been – that’s pretty much podcast 101, so today I am going to hit the reset button and start over. Consider this my trailer episode that never was. The origin story of a boy who never grew up and still calls himself a lost boy – bangarang by the way.
Americans are the unhappiest they’ve been in 50 years. 50 YEARS. A COVID Response Tracking Study, conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. It finds that just 14% of American adults say they're very happy, down from 31% who said the same in 2018. “It’s been one thing after another,” a woman named Walker said, when asked. “This is very hard. The worst thing about this for me, after so much, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
That's the point! None of us know what's going to happen. Get out of your comfort zones, this idea that you are in any way in charge of the world. Pull up your bridges and get over yourself.

Why positivity is crucial and the importance of surrounding yourself with positivity in your lives.
It’s easy these days to surround yourself with negative group think, to get caught up in the new headlines of fear, negativity, pessimism, and doubt.
Group think is an easy thing to fall into these days, as we build lists, groups, pages – we create social media circles of members who all have the same look, ideas, ideals and concerns. While some of this can be good – like if you joined a group a like minded individuals who are there to up lift you, to push you to the next level and to help you and it’s members grow – that can be good.
However, group think can be very dangerous in today's social media world. We can hide posts we don’t like, hyper focus on ideals that could be out of touch with reality and very quickly find ourselves down a path of negativity.
