Shout Out! Prior Podcast Guest Brett Burney and his wife Stephanie discuss Technology, Working From Home, and Homeschooling in this Pandemic!

In keeping with this week's theme of "Going Back to School from Home," I want to do a "Shout Out" to prior podcast guest and friend of The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page Brett Burney and his wife Stephanie. Both work full time from home, Brett in the legal arena, and Stephanie as an educator (who has been homeschooling their children for years). Recently on the Apps in Law Podcast, Brett and Stephanie discuss their challenges of homeschooling and how tech plays a part in their personal lives, their work lives, and raising two children all while working from home.

It's a great listen for those who have children and even for those who don't. It will give those without kids a better appreciation of the challenges that those with children at home have due to the Pandemic. Plus, whether you have kids at home or not, you may pick up a good tech tip or two!

Enjoy!

Shout Out! Planet Depos is still offering free Webinars!

If you don’t know how to conduct video/virtual depositions, NOW is the time to learn!

Planet Depos, the company of previous Podcast Guest, Billy Zane, will be offering another free webinar this Wednesday on conducting virtual video depositions.  They have older webinars posted for your reference.  Watching the webcast live will give you an opportunity to ask the presenters questions.  Best part, its free!

I don't have any inside information, but once things settle with COVID-19, businesses will probably pull back on some of these free Webinars, CLEs, etc.
