In this monster of a podcast, we gather up three guest hosts (Craig Cmehil, Dan McWeeney, and Rich Heilman) to fill in for Ed while he is moving. In our gift to Ed, we explore the issue of the Virtual Worker and share tips and tricks from our own experiences as Virtual Workers. While on the subject of virtual environments, we also transition into a discussion on Virtual Events vs. Physical Events.
