E001: Hello and here's the biggest changes from 2020

Happy New Year and thanks for joining Workspace Recap for our inaugural show.

In this episode we discuss our top updates from 2020, reminisce how we almost met back in 2016 at the Googleplex meetup and what to expect from this year's episodes - weekly show discussing all the changes happening in Google Workspace. My name is Jesse Nowlin, my co-host is Steve Larsen and we’re here to help you keep up.

2020 was a record breaking year and mostly they were not good records to break. But some good things did come about in 2020, and that is the great remote work experiment, and companies realising that for a huge percentage of their workers, where they work from is no longer part of the equation. Google and their competitors realised this and got to work pushing out what seems like every update they had in the works and several they didn't.

This podcast is our answer to the flood of updates. A weekly show to help all you wonderful Google Workspace Admins stay on top of what’s new in Google Workspace, mixed up with some analysis, and stories from the field. I invite you to come along for the ride as we witness and participate in the greatest shift to work as we know it in the last 100 years. I think you will really love what we are working on, send us your questions through the Contact form on the website and we will do our best to answer them either on the podcast or in a blog post.
