43: Becoming prolific with David Kadavy
The Knowledge with David Elikwu
How to Write a Book
"There is nothing I can do that will turn this into something that I can just press publish on," he says. "It's not about the product that you're producing a lot of the times. It's about the thought processes that are happening." He writes his first draft and then deletes it without even looking at it. ' passive genius' takes place in our minds when we don't actively work on problems, he says.
David Elikwu speaks with David Kadavy an Author, Podcaster and President of Kadavy, Inc.
Author of Mind Management not Time Management, The Heart to Start and, Design for Hackers.
Host of Love Your Work podcast, where he interviewed Seth Godin, Steve Case, & many more creative entrepreneurs.
We talked a lot about productivity, we talked about writing, we talked about content creation about how David is able to consistently come up with new ideas. We barely even got to touch on was the fact that he designed an app with behavioral psychologist, Dan Ariely0 which was eventually acquired by Google.
