The realities of remote: a candid chat with Dean Kuchel

Remotely Serious with Curtis Duggan

Join us for a no-holds-barred conversation with the globe-trotting digital nomad, Dean Kuchel. In this episode, we strip away the glossy veneer of remote work, diving headfirst into the gritty realities that lurk beneath the surface. Dean, with his wealth of personal experiences, takes us on a journey through the unvarnished truth of digital nomadism, challenging the rose-tinted views many hold. We confront the changing expectations of companies in this digital era, and why remote work isn't the panacea it's often made out to be. Prepare for a raw, eye-opening discussion that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about the world of remote work and digital nomadism.
