The Faster, Easier, Better Show Lee Silber, Efficiency Expert & Ellen Goodwin, Productivity Expert

In this episode, Lee and Ellen look at how slowing down helps you to make better decisions (and be more efficient). Together they look at: 
• James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, talking about slowing down to make it more difficult to make rash decisions, easier to make better choices, and ultimately make fewer mistakes.
• When you slow down you are more thoughtful
• Make better business decisions (and realize you have more options)
• The importance of thoughtful pauses
• The tragedy that Lee endured because of his wife taking things too quickly (spoiler: he survived)
• Why reading (or watching) instructions is the ultimate way to slow down
• How adding in meditation can help you whole brain to slow down

• How businesses could improve their efficiency by talking with their employees

Lee and Ellen are back together for the podcast! It's been a few weeks and we are happy to be back together to share our Faster, Easier, Better ideas. And this week we are giving you a peak behind the scenes of what happens BEFORE we record our episodes.
Like anything other podcasts we have a little time beforehand to talk about what we want to talk about, and what's going on, and today we want to share a little about what we discuss before we record each episode.
A little background: Ellen has some opportunities for change and she is trying to figure out what comes next (sound familiar??) So...
• She is questioning what sort of structure she should keep
• Lee is questioning what she would do if she won the Powerball (all the money none of the requirements to keep working). What is her answer?
• What if she broke it down into smaller options?
• What if she didn't have to save the world?
•What if Lee won $7 million dollars? What would he do?
• Give money to Make A Wish
• Give more Egg McMuffins away
These are the things we discuss before we record a show. We're open and sharing what we think. 
We would love to hear what you think as well!
