March 16, 2020 #55 Charlie Gilkey on How to Measure Your Life Metrics
This is one of the most in-depth productivity focused interviews I have done on this show (!!).
I’m chatting with Charlie Gilkey, the founder of Productive Flourishing, and the author of the book Start Finishing: How To Go From Idea to Done.
Charlie goes deep into details of what it actually takes to get your work done. I’m asking him questions about productivity, finding where you are the strongest at, how to have a better focus, hypothetical Tim Ferris style questions and books he considers a must read.

March 08, 2020 #54 Marie Chevrier on Dealing With The Ups And Downs Of Entrepreneurship
This is the most fun interview I have done in a long time! I’ve visited an office of Sampler to chat with their CEO Marie about entrepreneurship, sacrifices, ups and downs of running a business, routines, meditation and what makes Sampler cool.
If you can take one thing away from this interview it’s a message that we are more powerful than we think we are. Marie’s story is full of examples and stories that prove it.
