First impressions are important, and presentation is everything. Communicating your vision through your phone or laptop may get you through in a pinch, but it doesn’t communicate professionalism or expertise to your audience.
Which means that your temporary, makeshift, at-home office is worth sprucing up a bit. 
It’s time to switch your mindset from thinking your home studio is just a temporary solution to the pandemic, to recognizing it’s time to transform your business into a media company.
In the latest episode of B2B Podcasting, host Kap Chatfield gives us a tour of his home studio—along with a complete list of all the gear he uses to achieve an attractive, clean and professional look.
