The best thing I’ve seen all week
Book a goat or llama for your next Zoom meeting (this is not a joke).
Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait because they’re so popular they’re booked through May.
The most amazing crowdsource initiative
Mark Cuban originally shared this link which is a crowdsourced website that provides real-time data on the status of COVID-19 loans.
Have a gander to understand the current status and input your information if you applied to help other.

Noteworthy services that have gone free
It seems like everyone is offering what they used to charge for, for free.
As you continue to restructure operations and job responsibilities, consider sending these to your team to retrain and repurpose their skills sets internally.
- MasterClass Live is offering one free class per week for free
- Digital Marketer is offering their Insider course for free
- Harvard’s Courses is offering their courses including coding for free
- Amazon Web Services is offering training on cloud concepts for free
- Google Cloud is offering training and certifications for free
Beware, they will all take your email. I would advise setting up an “Unsubscribe” folder that filters all emails with that word so you can view them at your own time. You can thank me later.
SNL plays fun on remote work (pretty accurately)
Saturday Night Live had a good time playing fun on modern remote work in their recent episode.

And as you may have heard, there are rumors that the Office is getting a remote work reboot..
