Four Alternatives to a Zoom Christmas Party. A conversation.

With only a couple of days to go until Christmas, we’ve got one last favourite episode to re-gift you. As we move in and out of tiered restrictions and face an uncertain year ahead, the urge to get a change of scenery and escape grows stronger. Estonia has a system for moving your business and even yourself to the country and enjoying all the benefits of being in the EU, as well as exploring the country and getting that change of scenery. In this episode, Harry talks to Ott Vatter, the MD of these programmes, about how we can take advantage of them and what it actually means to get the visa or the e-residency.

Fewer people experiencing Imposter Syndrome while working from home, says study:
