Episode notes

A friend of mine, anadia, mentioned this to me. She has what she calls a brag book, where here's all the things that i've done. I think it's something we get stuck on, what's next? What's nextnext? What'sNext? Instead of revelling in what we've accomplished. The more productive you try to be, the more your time grows and grows into this burden. And there's a great book about this. You should have him on, oliver berkeman, four thousand weeks. It's brilliant. He's written one of the best books on time management i've ever read.

When I was given the opportunity to speak with Daniel Coyle for A Productive Conversation, I jumped at the opportunity.

He is the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code, The Talent Code, The Little Book of Talent, The Secret Race, Lance Armstrong’s War, and Hardball: A Season in the Projects. Coyle, who works as an advisor to the Cleveland Guardians, lives in Cleveland, Ohio, during the school year and in Homer, Alaska, during the summer with his wife, Jen, and their four children.

During our conversation we talk about where culture comes from, the idea of "belonging cues", the best way for someone to go through The Culture Playbook, and the magic behind the sustainable success of my favourite NBA team.

There are certain fundamentals that go into building a strong and cohesive culture. You'll find those within Daniel's work, including The Culture Playbook. And you'll also find some discussed during this conversation I had with him.
