For the 81st episode of The Nomadic Executive, I am joined by someone who has always flirted with the  idea of working remotely but never would’ve done it had the pandemic not happened. This week I am joined by Adam Smith, a senior product manager at PubMatic and the founder of Origin Story. Adam is among the thousands that got thrust into having to work from home when the pandemic started. After a year of working and traveling across the country,  Adam now says that remote work will soon become the standard working setup post-pandemic.  In this episode, Adam talks about the difficulties of getting oneself out of the professional career bubble in New York where he was based for most of his career. He then shares with us the  dizzying blur of things that he went through on the early days of his remote work transition, and the different experiences he earned throughout the journey. Adam also talks about how Origin Story came to be and what he plans to do to further expand the movement.  Timestamps [15:25]Adam Smith’s hectic remote work transition [21:19]The challenges of working remote and how to deal with them [29:53]The contrast between an office and remote work set up [35:39]Expect these two things happening in the future [37:50]What is Origin Story about?
