This show is shockingly engaging and enjoyable. Maybe I’m in a minority who enjoys the topics discussed, or maybe Mike and Grey just know how to get you interested in anything from microphones apps, AI art, various books or just simply how to be productive. Would recommend both for casual listening, and for the purposes of learning how to better your work life!

Listener since episode one, and have implemented many “life hacks” since listening. I have revamped my phone screen, become far more aware of my time usage and have changed the way I think about email. Great listen for anyone looking to get anything done in their life. Highly recommend.
