34. Bradley Eshbach - The Magic Happens at the Water Cooler. Really?

Send us Fan MailHighligh from Remote Work Interview with Bradley Eshbach: "And so, I mean, I've got this whole point of view of like, there's a reason that offices, you look at a startup office, the generic, like millennial office with a ping pong table and all the food you could ever want. And they've got a barber shop and a blowout bar and, and, you know, you'd never need to leave. Those were those became adult playgrounds, that wasn't really a need. It didn't make the work better. It was a game to compete for talent and in the same way that people had crazy stock options and good money. And so, and that was in the tech world where they had a reason to compete for talent like that. But you know that bridges over to the creative world, advertising world, the finance world, where. People see their friends working in offices like that, and you fast forward and all our offices are open floor plans based on a lot of walk and talks and, and stuff like that. But what it means is it destroys your ability to do deep work. It destroys your ability to actually get in the zone and find a flow state and create some real, real smart thinking. And the interruptions are just like tantamount, and you can't do anything about it. And so, we allow our days to just be destroyed, our ability to think deeply, completely removed, because we feel like we're getting some sort of, some sort of the magic happens at the water cooler. But I, we say that, but I don't know. I've never seen for me, the magic has never happened at the water cooler"Prefer Video?https://titanspod.com/beshbach-vh1Support the show
