    Like seeing Ned Ryerson in the street – Groundhog Day….why I am here? What am I doing? Like the film, I eventually find my groove and purpose

    It is like living at a television studio with your best friend.

    We both have several video conferences and conference calls daily, so we’ve set up two ‘broadcast studios’, “High above Pennsylvania Avenue”, complete with visually appropriate backgrounds. Even our on-line calendars include which studio. A couple of times it’s been down to the second studio switches. We’ve only walked into each others conferences a couple of time, always with pants on.

    being in a co-working space (like BizDojo). We very much are attuned to our own work and only see each other for a mutual coffee break. Yes, there may be music in the background, but it’s more about being work focused rather than thinking we are at home!!!
