What is up everyone? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and CEO of Morning Brew, coming to you with another

episode of The Founders Journal, My Daily Audio Diary, made public for the world, where I talk about the most important thoughts,

lessons, learnings, wins, and losses behind the scenes at Morning Brew. Today we are talking about

the outsized impact that a thoughtful work stack has on our work style.

Let's hop into it.

So for those of you that have been Founders Journal or CMO series viewers for the last several months, what you know, it's not a secret or surprise, is that I have been working from my mom's townhouse in New Jersey since we went into quarantine.

And for the last nine months I've worked in my mom's dining room where for six of those months I didn't even have a monitor.

I was simply just plugging away on my laptop.

And today for the first time in nine months I'm working from somewhere else.

My grandparents moved down to Florida for the winter.

My girlfriend and I come in, commandeered their apartment and as we did that, that allowed me to enjoy a new work setup.

So we spent the last few hours today moving into my grandparents apartment in New Jersey, and

as I've been setting up this new space which I literally just

finished setting up in the last 30 minutes I'm going to use that as my excuse for

not starting at 2.30 today it just made me re-realize how important feeling good about your workspace is.

It gets you excited, it gets the momentum going when you start work at the beginning of your day,

and it allows you to do your best work.

And it's almost one of those things where again... beginning of your day and it allows you to do your best work.

And it's almost one of those things where again,

I hit on this theme I feel like throughout all of my episodes

where we as humans are chameleons.

And so we're really good at working in the context
