This week I was encouraged to welcome Carlos Whittaker to the show for an honest and compassionate talk about his latest book, "Reconnected: How 7 Screen-Free Weeks with Monks and Amish Farmers Helped Me Recover the Lost Art of Being Human." Carlos shares his transformative journey through living with monks and the Amish to understand different worldviews and lessen his dependency on technology. Initially struggling with the absence of his phone, Carlos learns the healing power of solitude and forms deep connections within these communities. Carlos returns with practical life skills and a new perspective on screen time, emphasizing the importance of solitude and offline activities for personal growth and deeper relationships. He also discusses his significant decrease in phone usage and how it has positively affected his life and those around him. The episode explores strategies to reduce screen addiction, the balance between online and offline connections, and the broader implications of leading a more present and engaged life.

This week, we're revisiting a conversation that left a lasting impact, where I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Seth Godin about his book, The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams. For most listeners Seth needs no introduction. Seth is perhaps best known for his prolific daily blog, as well as his books Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip and Purple Cow. I've been looking forward to this conversation for a long time now, and Seth of course did not disappoint. In our chat, we unpack the purpose and passion that led Seth to write this impactful book. For anyone familiar with Linchpin, The Song of Significance is, in many ways, the spiritual sequel and companion piece to that book. If Linchpin was all about being indispensable on an individual level, The Song of Significance explores how to work together as a team of Linchpins. This conversation remains as relevant as ever, offering encouragement to anyone feeling anxiety about how their skills or unique voice fit into the modern workforce, or for those considering a freelance or entrepreneurial journey. Seth and I explore how the desire for agency and dignity lies at the core of the modern employee's aspirations. Despite the many innovations and progress since the Industrial Revolution, these two key components have often been overlooked. The purpose of this book, and our discussion, is to help teams and individuals rediscover this dignity and autonomy, reminding people of their unique voice—a voice that no amount of technology, AI, or automation can replace. This is truly a book to be read as a team, fostering discussions and action steps to build a team, organization, or business that empowers and trusts everyone to deliver their best work and harmonize together.

The key to managing your productivity is self-awareness. Erik Fisher is the producer and podcast host for Beyond The To-Do List, where he discusses practical productivity strategies with productivity experts. The best way to streamline a productive schedule is to be realistic about what we know we can do, how much we know we can do, and which days we are most productive. Spend a week and gather data on where you spend your time and do an honest analysis of how you could rearrange your to-do list to take advantage of this. The vast majority of what we put on our to-do lists are not tasks that move the needle, so doing less, but more of what is important, is the formula for success. You have agency over your work life, so make an honest assessment of your current strategy and take control!Notes:

This week I was delighted to welcome Valerie Fridland to the show for a really fun conversation about her latest book, Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English. By exploring the dark corners every English teacher has taught us to avoid, Like, Literally, Dude redeems our most pilloried linguistic quirks, arguing that they are fundamental to our social, professional, and romantic success—perhaps even more so than our clothing or our resumes. It explains how filled pauses benefit both speakers and listeners; how the use of “dude” can help people bond across social divides; why we're always trying to make our intensifiers ever more intense; as well as many other language tics, habits, and developments. In this chat Valerie and I discuss the origins of this great book and how the evolution of language has been rapidly accelerating alongside developments in technology and communication. Valerie helps to guide listeners through the history of some unique words and phrases while unpacking the etymology of the word Dude and how it can give us a glimpse into the history of masculinity and culture in the 19th and 20th century. In addition we discuss some of the more notorious quirks of language and speaking in the modern age and discover how idiosyncrasies such as Um and Uh are by no means “Bad English'' and can even benefit clarity and empathy in our everyday conversations. Valerie Fridland is a professor of linguistics in the English Department at the University of Nevada, Reno. She writes a popular language blog on Psychology Today called “Language in the Wild,” In addition her lecture series, Language and Society, is featured with The Great Courses. With a PhD in linguistics, Valerie is an expert on the relationship between language and society, her work has appeared in numerous academic journals and she is co-author of the book Sociophonetics.  Support the show by checking out our sponsors!

This week I was excited to welcome Chip Conley to the show for a great conversation about wisdom and the transforming experience of being a “Modern Elder.” Chip is the CEO and Co-Founder of The Modern Elder Academy, the "world's first wisdom school" dedicated to reframing aging and helping people navigate the second half of adulthood with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.  Conley founded and ran the highly successful boutique hotel chain Joie de Vivre for over 20 years before accepting, at age 52, a position as the in-house mentor to Brian Chesky, the youthful co-founder and CEO of Airbnb. At the time, Conley was twice the age of most of the employees at the rapidly-growing company. During his years working there, he discovered how sharing wisdom and swapping ideas with Chesky helped them both to thrive. He honed his own sense of purpose for his second half of life: “To build a community of inspired and empowered midlifers.” In this chat Chip and I trace his journey and discuss the power of what he calls metabolizing wisdom. We also discuss the need for finding purpose and the fact that people who feel aligned with their sense of purpose tend to live longer, and during those extra years of life they also generally are healthier, feel happier and are less lonely. This is a great conversation for people of all ages and is vital for anyone looking at the second half of adulthood and asking questions about how they can apply their unique skills and life experiences to a more enriching career path or period of mentorship.

This week I was delighted to welcome Gretchen Rubin back to the show for a great conversation about her new book, Life in Five Senses: How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World. Gretchen has been on the show in the past and it's always great to catch up with her and see what she has been researching or pondering, and this new book is no exception. In LIFE IN FIVE SENSES Gretchen's revelatory journey of self-experimentation, she explores the mysteries and joys of the five senses as a path to a happier, more mindful life. Drawing on cutting-edge science, philosophy, literature, and her own efforts to practice what she learns, she investigates the profound power of tuning into the physical world. From the simple pleasures of appreciating the magic of ketchup and adding favorite songs to a playlist, to more adventurous efforts like creating a daily ritual of visiting the Met and trying ayahuasca, Rubin shows us how to experience each day with depth, delight, and connection. In the rush of daily life, she finds, our five senses offer us an immediate, sustainable way to cheer up, calm down, and engage the world around us—as well as a way to glimpse the soul and touch the transcendent.  Gretchen Rubin is one of today's most influential observers of happiness and human nature. She's the author of many books, including the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers Outer Order, Inner Calm; The Four Tendencies; Better Than Before; and The Happiness Project. Her books have sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages.

I remember the days of keeping up with all the latest and greatest productivity news and app updates. There came a time when I decided that wasn't going to be in my long-term plans, so I moved away from that kind of content (for the most part). Francesco, however, is another story. He loves doing exactly that: sharing all the productivity news and app-related content as possible, as evidenced by his extremely popular YouTube channel. During our discussion we get into why he enjoys producing content around apps and productivity news, how he maps out his content plan, and so much more. Talking Points Francesco shares his "productivity origin" story (3:45) This is what Francesco looks for in an app that he showcases on his YouTube channel (6:26) What does Francesco define as productivity news? How does he decide what to share?

Baratunde Thurston's escape from the Internet. He launched JasonDoesStuff.com and then turned off his social profiles. He did this to prove that people would still come, read his posts, and reach out to him without using social media. Social media is an addiction. People do it while they drive and while they are spending time with their loved ones. Try deleting social apps off your phone for a weekend or a week. Try it for December to realign your goals. What happens November 1st? I wouldn't have had the success I've had without social media. Jason still plans to continue using Instagram. I want to challenge myself to say I don't need social media. Facebook changes. The email algorithm doesn't change. Focus 100% on email. Jason used his email list of 623 people to raise $30,000 in the first day of bidding for his last name. You don't need big numbers to feel validated. Focus on events you want to be at. Be challenged by going to things that put you out of your comfort zone.
