This is it! Episode 100, and the 2nd anniversary of Productivity Alchemy! That means that Ursula (former Wombat Test Subject and now Wombat co-host) sits in the interviewer chair and Kevin gets to answer his own questions and we find out how things have changed since last year! Thank you ALL for the last two years!

Hi folks! This week we discuss Kevin's First Day (and week) of his new job, Ursula (the Wombat Co-Host) discusses her issues with linear time, as well as both our strategies for taking the stress out of special gift-giving days like Birthdays and Holidays. Finally, we wrap up by talking to the CEO and co-founder of Zapier, Wade Foster!

This week, we talk about getting ready to cover things while Kevin is out of the loop, the new project Ursula is fiddling around with, filling fountain pens, and the double-edged sword of online community for those of us that word from home. We then get to catch up with Alicia (Day) Baker, who tells us how her productivity has changed since we spoke last year.

I got a new job! I am not going to talk too much about it (yet), since we're in the "hired-but-not-started" paperwork phase, but you can expect updates as things progress. In the mean time, we have a great talk with Jenett Silver! Enjoy it, and remember to Stay Productive!
