Hey new friend! Not a Real Job covers tech, marketing, philosophy, feminism, and much more. Every week so often Chris & Joel—longtime friends and collaborators—talk, joke, and ponder in your ears about the topics that have them excited/scared/laughing hysterically.

Hey NARJ listeners!
As you have heard on recent episodes, we’re planning a little meetup in New York City. Joel and I will be holding court at Mother’s Ruin in SoHo on Wednesday, February 26th, from 6:00 PM onward.
If you’re planning on joining, leave a note in the comments or shoot us an email.
See you there!
Burnout, and fighting it, are the topics of this week’s Not a Real Job. We discuss why virtual businesses need business hours and the importance of setting limits. Also: thanks Canada for supporting us on iTunes! We promise not to blab on about it in the future.
We were on #MBMBaM! This week, we deconstruct the results of our first major ad spot on our favourite podcast (other than ours), “My Brother, My Brother and Me“. Was it successful? Did we see relevant results? How do you turn your body into hot dogs?
Welcome new listeners! In this episode, we catch up with Joel’s writing project (it’s done! well… the first draft is, anyway). We also answer a question (sent in by our audio editor) on whether or not the iPad means the death of the desktop computer.
(Sorry for the audio issues on this one! We had a really bad Skype connection) Joel and Chris discuss building and working with teams, and all the things that can make you a leader instead of a manager. Also discussed: how working with remote teams are different from in-the-office teams, how Joel buys his team with drink and gifts (kidding), and other related topics.
It’s a dry episode, but we’ll make it up to you next week.
