I can't believe that we are getting ready to roll into the third quarter!  I know they say that the older you get, the faster it goes, but this year has just been flying by!  It's really great to see all the industry events back in full swing and to connect in person with so many after what seemed to be an eternal canceling of events during the pandemic.  Everyone seems to be excited to share ideas and talk about the shifts in our industry since COVID.  

I think one of the biggest ones that I saw was in terms of staffing.  It's no secret that the majority of our industry was previously keen on the 8-6 mentality, where you had to be in the office Monday through Friday.  I know for my company, we have had the ability to be remote since we opened our doors in 2005, which means we didn't miss a beat when things were shut down.  However, I have seen colleagues who have shifted their models tremendously, from allowing remote work, to downsizing their real estate footprint, to hiring outside of their state.
