    How to Achieve Flow State and Master Productivity with Alistair McBride

    How to Achieve Flow State and Master Productivity with Alistair McBride

    What does "flow" mean, and does it really improve productivity?


    Alastair McDermott and Alistair McBride discuss flow state and deep work in episode 118 of The Recognized Authority.


    They discuss practical tips for optimizing your morning routine and tackling high-value tasks for maximum impact.


    Explore the cost of context switching and the importance of uninterrupted blocks of time for deep work. Gain valuable insights into the concept of "be-do-have," shifting from the mindset of โ€œIf I could just have (insert thing), Iโ€™d do more (work) and be a real (noun).โ€


    They discuss productivity and performance, and how to make leaps of improvement rather than settling for incremental progress.


    This episode will change how you think about deep work, your approach to tasks, and unlock your potential for success.

Marketing for Consultants

Alastair has a fresh take on the old problem of how to market yourself as an expert.

Lots of well chosen interviewees and the episodes generally are a mix of strategic insights and actual tactics to implement.

Manish Kapur ,

My favourite podcast!

The Recognized Authority is my favourite podcast and in my opinion the best for independent consultants. Alastair always invites really good guests and asks great questions to ensure every episode offers real value to the listener. I would go so far as to say that some episodes have been masterclasses!
