Listen Later

Today I am having a chat with Daniel McKinnon who runs his own mobile software development company in regional Queensland, Australia. He is also the father of a nine-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl and husband of Nicole. During our catch-up, we talk about how they both run their own business and need to help each other, how they moved from Sydney to a regional area to have a better lifestyle, his focus on the 3 pillars of Learning, Self Motivation and being details focused. We also Discuss Deep Work end on the difficulty to implement self-development techniques as it is easier to stay trapped in being in motion.
