Codie Sanchez

She was confrontational.

She learned how to use that.

It was incredibly fascinating for me.

I'm a non-confrontational person.

So watching someone use that approach was just like, you don't get that at home, right?

Now in my life, I got kids.

I have responsibilities.

I don't need those kinds of lessons.

Now people are learning from me.

Now the reason to go into work is to allow others to have the same opportunity that I had, right?

But if I had to work remotely for the rest of my career, would I be fine?

I'd be totally fine.

It doesn't make any difference.

The mistake I made was there's a class of person

for whom, if I'm a mom, single mom with two kids in school, babysitting issues, whatever, and I'm doing a job where I'm actually really good at it and I don't need that kind of social interaction, then just my employer, for the sake of principle, saying you got to commute in every morning 40 minutes and fight traffic and find a babysitter just so I have the luxury of having you in the office, that's not fair.

We need to be thoughtful about

when this is important and when it's not.

For some work, it's not important.

For some work, it's really important.
