Summary
In this episode, Lyra delves into the subject of work-life balance, a well-known concept that has been widely propagated in both personal and professional realms. However, she shares her personal experiences as a business owner and explains why the traditional model of work-life balance may not always be practical or effective for entrepreneurs. Instead, she explores the idea of work-life integration, an alternative approach that promotes a more harmonious blending of our professional and personal lives. What You'll Learn: 1. A critical perspective on the concept of work-life balance 2. How work-life balance might be a misfit for entrepreneurs 3. Lyra's personal journey to find a work-life approach that suits her 4. The concept of work-life integration and how it differs from work-life balance 5. Practical tips to implement work-life integration Key Takeaways: 1. Work-life balance might not be realistic or healthy for everyone, especially for business owners. 2. Overemphasis on work-life balance can lead to complications and even burnout. 3. Work-life integration is about creating a symbiotic relationship between work and life, and finding systems and routines that can accommodate both. 4. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach; what matters is finding a method that caters to your unique needs and circumstances. 5. Reflection, evaluation, and practical action are key to integrating work-life effectively.

Going back to the office
Release Date: 06/17/2020
Description: Welcome to a Strome Business Minute, presented by the Strome College of Business. No tombstone ever read, “I wish I’d spent more time at the office.” With permanent telework offered at Facebook and Twitter, one has to wonder whether anyone will go back to the office. But some local business leaders have told me that they’ve seen productivity declines during the lockdown and Amazon is steadfast in its plans to build a second headquarters of four million square feet. One factor against permanent telework is the lack of spontaneous conversations that lead to new ideas. Pre-COVID, Google tested how to set up their offices to encourage spontaneous conversations, especially between people who didn’t know each other, to generate innovations. Why? Because research shows spontaneous conversations between people who DON’T know each other beats brainstorming sessions or personal reflection for innovations. To learn more, visit odu.edu/business. This Strome Business Minute is presented by the Strome College of Business, Old Dominion University.

Back Office Out Front

Authors: Adam Bernstein
Description: Back Office Out Front is the podcast covering the corporate army behind the athlete. Fans tend to associate the "business practices" of their favorite athletes with what they do on the court or field, and maybe an additional shoe deal or two, but that's about it. The thing is, in many cases, that's only the beginning. Take a group of people with an essentially unmatched combination of capital and social influence, and business success seems inevitable. In an array of fields ranging from radio to real estate, athletes have found incredible success away from their original lines of work. From marketers to investors to media personalities and more, countless individuals have helped athletes transition their sporting success into a career outside of the lines, and this podcast will cover the teams of people that make it all happen.
