Rob promises to diverge from the rock genre in the last episode and fails miserably as we dive into his favorite artist of all time, The Cure. In this episode we discuss Lullaby, a song that we both agree sums up The Cure quite nicely.

Daniel makes the argument it's the best rock song ever produced. A discussion ensues as we meander through rock, physical music and other random topics.

In this week's episode we keep up the habit of mixing the genres and steer ourselves a little more retro soul / rock oriented with Michael Kiwanuka's Cold Little Heart.

In this episode we learn a little bit about the song Easy Lover by Philip Bailey and Phil Collins.

In 1989 the top 40 was covered in hits by Paula Abdul, Poison, Bobby Brown and Chicago. Hair metal was at its peak and Grunge was right around the corner. There were a few acts like Depeche Mode and New Order that were making great, dark synth pop but no one could have anticipated an album like Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails and in particular, the success of Head Like a Hole, the first single off the album.

In this Remote Christmas Special we discuss our favorite Christmas albums as a bit of foreshadowing for the new format for Season 2. We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We’re back and we’re talking Monsters.

Part 2 of 2. What stops us from taking on the projects we want to see come to life? Sometimes having the perfect creative space, the perfect situation, the perfect setup is not possible. Having all the time in the world will not always spawn greatness. If I could just quit my job and focus on my passion, then I’d be happy and I’d be creating all the awesome things I see in my mind’s eye.

We made it to 10 episodes! In this episode Daniel and Rob pontificate the podcast structure. When starting the Remote show we had one thing in mind but as the show has progressed, Daniel and Rob have found themselves wanting to adjust the concept a bit. In this show Rob and Daniel talk about the top 10 podcast genres and how they may or may not have something to say inside those genres.

After a long hiatus we are back and in this episode we discuss turning 40, setting goals, health and overall wellness.

In this episode Daniel and Rob discuss what it takes to produce something and put it out into the world. The Fear of Failure is a common obstacle for many creatives, how do we navigate it and what strategies or ideals do we employ to get over the hurdle.

Working remote has one major benefit and that is those micro-moments throughout the day where you can take a break to read or brush up on something new. As creative individuals, we are constantly learning new things passively but at what point do we intentionally seek out new skills and wisdom actively. With services and sites like Skill Share, Audible, YouTube, Brilliant and Treehouse there are a plethora of places to learn online. In this episode we discuss the concept of lifelong learning and what steps we take to stay on top of our game.

Experimenting with routines and getting out of your comfort zone can lead to positive and negative results but without doing so we cannot grow and find what makes us better...or makes us worse.

In this episode we are joined by Elizabeth Wiseman, photographer and entrepreneur. Elizabeth is embarking on new methods of producing content and creating revenue through online means such as courses, mentorship, software snippets and portfolio reviews. There is a vast online landscape of content creation platforms and opportunities for solo content creators, many ways to create impact and revenue and we discuss some of those in this episode.

Working from home sounds amazing to a lot of people and in a lot of ways it is, but we cannot discount the fact that external motivation is not present and it is really easy to succumb to the afternoon slump.

Remote with Rob and Dan. A weekly podcast about working and living remote. In this episode we discuss remote communication tools and give our thoughts on products like Zoom and FaceTime. We also get a little heavy and discuss the digital divide in our country as it relates to internet connectivity.
