A Productive Conversation

On this episode of the podcast, I speak with Gretchen Rubin, the author of several books, including the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, The Four Tendencies, Better Than Before, and The Happiness Project. She has an enormous readership, both in print and online, and her books have sold almost three million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages. On her top-ranked, award-winning podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin, she discusses good habits and happiness with her sister Elizabeth Craft. Fast Company named Gretchen Rubin to its list of Most Creative People in Business, and she’s a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100. During the discussion we dive specifically into The Four Tendencies, looking into what tendency I am most likely aligned with (as well what my wife’s might be), how to embrace whichever of the tendencies you are so you can thrive, and so much more. I hope you enjoy our conversation – I sure did!

On this episode of the podcast I speak with Justin Shelby, founder of Artichoke. Justin has held leadership positions in Fortune 500, growth stage, and startup companies in addition to have launched over 100 products in 16 countries. He has also previously founded 3 previous businesses, included two subscription-based operating businesses.

Justin and I talk about, why you need to foster awareness every step of the journey, the role of simplicity in his life (both at work and at home) and why it is crucial for group work, and his thoughts on automation and how it can work for and against you and larger groups. Then we dive into artificial intelligence and analog work methods - both of which can be a real rabbit hole!
