Guys Who Do Stuff

The pandemic is changing the way we work and when we work. We talk about some of the possible advantages from our perspective. Businesses in our area are struggling and many people are without work because of the stay at home order. We are all anxious to get back to "normal."

Show Notes

Any business is essential to its owner, employees, and people that depend on it for their lively-hood. While it was the stay at home order was necessary and hopefully saved many lives, those businesses who were forced to close find themselves in a difficult situation. Now that many are allowed to reopen with 50% capacity, many of those businesses are not able to be profitable at those restrictions. For some, it may be more beneficial to stay closed and wait until restrictions are lifted than to possibly lose more money at 50% capacity.

Joe shared a story about traveling to Florida and how the airport was fantastic about enforcing social distancing. Employees wore masks and there were sanitizer stations all over the Raleigh airport. However, when he boarded his Frontier flight it was completely sold out with every seat filled.

Josh and Joe talk about riding motorcycles during the pandemic, a book called "The Ghost Rider: " by Neil Peart. Joe is getting more and more excited as he is waiting to get his first motorcycle.

We talked about the Netflix show "Magic for Humans" and how it is a fun show to watch as a household. It's now in its third season.

One of the things that working from home has changed for many people is the freedom around their schedule. 9-5 schedules are less important when we are not sharing an office. There are seemingly many fewer meetings and this could be a great thing for American workers.

Joe also brought up how Epic games pays game testers and people give feedback on the user experience of their games. You can find out more on their website.
