Still Spinning on 06.25.25

Hello and welcome to episode 103 of the Still Spinning Podcast. Sit back and enjoy today’s episode (although today, you just may learn something). We start off by apologizing for a tech glitch that removed all the previous episodes from our website and then discover a current tech glitch that impacted the recording of this episode. SO FUN! Microsoft released a report in which they describe the current work environment as the “infinite workday.” Meetings that start between 8 PM and midnight, constant interruptions, pings and texts well past business hours are all mentioned in this report. Dan shares his love of reading focus books and trying to organize his time, Nicole shares her strengths and weaknesses in this area.  Dan counters this story with one talking about how people are using AI and programs to make it LOOK like they are working, but they actually are not working at all. We also dip our toe into working from home, is it effective and how things have changed since the pandemic. And finally, getting stuck on a roller coaster is one of Nicole’s true nightmare scenarios. We discuss along with the reason Dan does not care for roller coasters (or thrill rides in general). This is the segment where you actually might learn something and for that we apologize.  Thanks for joining us! You can watch the live taping most Mondays at 7 PM on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram OR wait until the official podcast release on Wednesday morning.
