From the skies to the slopes, Scott 
Mirhead has earned a reputation for taking business casual to the extreme. 
>> Why not? If I can work from anywhere, work from the beach. 
>> The popular content creator known as Scotty wants to change the way people view remote work, setting up unconventional office spaces in San Diego. First the beach, then the Padres ballpark. 
>> We're going to make Petco Park the most productive office in America today. 
>> Remote workers like Raha Hamasian joined in. 
>> Does your boss know that you're here today? 
>> No. 
>> [laughter] 
>> But why do you know, like I'm still getting my work done, so why does it matter where I'm doing it from? 
>> For Mirhead, this isn't just about being an influencer. 
He's employed as a sales rep and even got his boss on board with the antics. 
>> Let's get out, explore life, and still be productive at the same time. 
So we're all behind it. 
>> You realize you are not like most bosses. 
>> Or most companies. 
Nationwide, only about 11% of full-time workers are fully remote as return-to-office mandates continue. 
But for those who can work from anywhere, there's a trade-off. 
Researchers say remote work can fuel isolation, loneliness, and poor mental health. 
And that's what makes these meetups meaningful, not just viral. 
>> The one-off content videos are fun and silly, but it's like the idea of bringing everyone together has been, you know, the thing that really makes me feel good. 
>> Call it team building just without the conference room.
