Experimenting with a new format with my pal Christoper Jerard. We’re planning to do a few of these so you can hear a format where there is more banter and storytelling.

It won’t get you what you want (not really) and certainly won’t make you happy. Listen to the Podcast My Wakeup Call Don’t believe me? I didn’t either! But a few years ago, I had a wake-up call. After habitually sleeping five to six hours... read more ›

Productivity has become a self-help institution that deals with the symptoms rather than the cause of our problems. Instead of finding ways to cram more five-minute meetings into a day or accelerate the hamster wheel of emails flowing into your in-box, start thinking about how you can cultivate the state... read more ›

We love to believe that creativity happens in a moment of inspiration. Yet few great discoveries in history were experienced in a flash of thought, or a jolt, like hitting a pinball machine's tilt button. Behind the 'matter of luck' phenomena are precious times of consistent planning and persistence. Moving from zero to one in any activity or profession requires a lot of planned effort. Being consistent with your plan helps you gain momentum, which... read more ›
