My partner is a pinball geek. It’s such a cool hobby if you have the space for machines. He buys them used, repairs and upgrades them, then sells them for about what he paid. And you meet people at tournaments. It’s one of those hobbies that hits several levels on Maslow’s hierarchy

A BIG mistake I made in 2020-2021 was advocating for *every* company to try virtual-first. Since then, I've learned a lot about why it doesn't work for everyone. Here's a list of factors that could make it really difficult to run a company remotely.
