Episode notes

We have been taught that the value we bring is in minutes and hours and days. If we're not actively punching the keyboard or doing whatever the work is then we're stealing there are literally entire concepts in the corporate business world about time theft. We feel like oh i don't know can i eat away from my desk because it's going to look like i'm lazier so i need to be at my desk. What we need to reframe is the fact that thevalue we bring is creatives is in results not in time right? So you don't pay me for the hours that i work as an editor you pay me for the value that i break right!

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.
