Love this show!

How I Work has quickly become a favorite in my feed! I really believe this podcast has made me a better and more efficient individual. I truly learn something every time I listen!

Great podcast with versatile advice

Amantha’s podcast has been such a wonderful addition to my commute these days. I have read so many productivity books and it’s a welcome change to get the same subject matter through the lens of the mother of a young child. As a working parent I highly value the advice she provides and elicits from her various guests. She interviews CEOs and creative types, authors and office workers, and so the information is relevant to a wide variety of listeners. I just preordered Amantha’s book and can’t wait to receive it!
