MWW 41: A German Train Station
Folders. Emails. Documents. Today’s episode is all about folder structure, unrequited email communications, asset management, and the general clutter of inboxes. It’s something we both have strong opinions about and is the basis for Habbi’s future political platform.

Customer Reviews
A “Just 2 People Chatting” podcast that’s actually worth listening to
As a rule, I don’t listen to podcasts that are just two people having a conversation. This is the one exception to my rule! The 2 hosts are so articulate and relatable. I thoroughly enjoy just having their conversations about work and life on in the background.
A great podcast about tech and life
This is a podcast I have to listen to as soon as new episodes come out.
These ladies are very relatable and down-to-earth professionals, with amazing work and life advice.
It’s really cool to have an inside view on how other people in tech work and live their lives.
I love listening to the episodes while doing some other activity, because it feels like having friends around chatting about super interesting topics.
Definitely recommend it!
My newest work "friends"
These ladies have adorable accents, and are great for listening to while I'm working. I love their creative, unique take on both professional and personal topics.
