Lana from the North ,

Thank you!

Thank you Thomas and Martin for useful tips, motivation and inspiration! Your enthusiasm for productivity is contagious.
In my opinion, some episodes have way too much rant in the beginning, especially the ones where you play video games... It’s not fun to listen to someone play while not being able to see the screen, so it’s not really a podcast format.
But overall, your podcast is indispensable for students and aspiring professionals.
P.S. The best episodes are the ones where you are completely by yourself. That’s when the information density is the highest. Martin - okay too, unless there is a 20 minute rant before getting to the questions. The interviews with other people are my least favorite, because there are so many podcasts that are doing that already, and that format is frankly tiring... Just my personal opinion :)

Ozkuuu ,

Fun podcast with good advice

Fun to listen to, and the advice is reasonable and works
