0:00.0	Programming Throwdown, Episode 103, Working from Home with Adam Bell.
0:20.3	Take it away, Jason. Hey, everybody. So this is a pretty
0:24.0	interesting episode. We're actually live on Twitch. And so this is something we tried Patrick,
0:31.1	what, maybe five years ago or something, a really long time ago. And, you know, I don't know.
0:37.8	Why did we stop recording to Twitch?
0:39.6	I think part of it was we got a lot more engagement on Discord and the Twitch just
0:46.8	couldn't seem to kick off.
0:48.7	But since then, especially recently, a lot of folks have been saying, oh, you know, I kind
0:53.1	of want to see the podcast on either Twitch or YouTube or one of these platforms. And so we're going to give it a second go. We'll record some episodes on Twitch and we'll see how it goes. It really depends on you, our loyal fans, to let us know if this medium, you know, gives some extra values. Yeah, I think Twitch has grown a lot. And also, especially these days, which I'm sure we're going to talk about in a few minutes, I think people's appetite for consuming online content has only been going up. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah, a lot of people ask us why we use Skype and not Zoom. And I think the answer, correct me if I'm wrong, Patrick, is just that we never tried Zoom.
1:28.5	It could be way better. I mean, we've been doing this podcast longer than Zoom's been around. Oh, that's true, too. Yeah, that's very true. But you get some inside baseball, you know, we do a Skype call, we record it through Skype, and also Patrick does some recording. And then we kind of mix it all together afterwards. But anyway, so today we have Adam, and we're going to all chat about working from home,
1:47.4	which is something we've all been doing a lot of lately.
1:51.0	And it's something that Adam personally has been doing for, what, nine years full time,
1:56.0	which is way longer than either of us.
1:59.0	And so I'm sure you're going to have a ton of insights.
2:02.8	But yeah, maybe Adam, you could start, kick it off by just talking about, like, what made you work from home?
2:09.6	Like, was it your decision or is it something that was circumstantial?
2:13.4	And what kind of started that?
2:15.5	Yeah, great question.
2:18.3	Yeah, so in 2011, like, I live in Petero. And what kind of started that? Yeah. Great question. Yeah.
2:18.5	So in 2011, like I live in Petero, Ontario, Canada.
2:22.9	It's got like 85,000 people.
2:24.9	It's not like, it's not the tech hub that you, that you hear about, right?
