There is a mountain of content out there for each and every one of us. Between social media channels, emails, the news, emerging apps, tools, and technology, there’s a lot of noise in our world. We are nearly constantly bombarded with new articles we “need” to read, new must-listen podcasts, conferences, webinars, new episodes to stream — all while our emails are piling up in multiple inboxes. It is easy to feel overwhelmed by this ceaseless influx of new information — some of it contradictory, and much of it ultimately useless to our businesses and our lives.

This week, Hallie and I talk about how to cut through the noise and get purposeful about the content you consume. Of course, it’s important in whatever industry you are in to pay attention and stay on top of the news, but not at the cost of your and your team’s performance in the moment. We talk about building purpose into your content choices by revisiting goals, staying centered and laser-focused, and how to say no to media that isn’t helping move you or your business forward.
