Episode notes

productivity has become in my opinion is largely occult where it is all about the quantitative. For me i don't want to become productive so i can work the same number of hours or more get more things done and then when i get more thingsdone in less time and i work smarter not harder well then let's just fill all that extra newfound space that we've created with doing more stuff right? "For me there's a huge difference between efficiency and effectiveness" i literally have a budget for every hour of the day 24 hours a day seven days a week for here's the ideal week that would be perfect for me That shows that i'm using my time in a quality manner quantitatively

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Zack Arnold, an award-winning editor, director, and founder of Optimize Yourself. He's also a father of two and a two-time American Ninja Warrior, which is pretty cool if you ask me. We had a productive conversation about how to pursue fulfilling careers without sacrificing our health, relationships, or sanity. Zack's work has been featured in various publications, and he's known for his expertise in productivity and entrepreneurship.

One thing that stood out to me was how Zack optimized his podcast process, which he shared with us. He also talked about how he's learned to prioritize his health and relationships while pursuing his career goals.

Overall, it was a fantastic conversation, and I highly recommend giving it a listen. If you're new to the podcast, this is a great episode to start with. I feel like I found a kindred spirit in Zack, and I hope you will too.
