Time is the most precious resource in any environment, but it does not often get treated that way at work. Talented workers’ time gets eaten up by meetings, reducing their “flow” and productivity. Matt Martin, joins the show today to talk about changing the culture of scheduling with a little help from technology.

Matt is the CEO and Co-Founder of Clockwise, a very popular calendar tool that's unlocked over six million hours of focus time for employees and resolved four million meeting conflicts. With a heavy dose of ML heuristics and a little bit of AI, Clockwise coordinates meetings so everybody involved gets the best schedule possible, opening up time for workers to reach deep flow states. Clockwise also shares the scheduling analytics with all users so everyone can reflect on how they spent their time, allowing them to adjust as needed.

Take a listen as we discuss the illusion of productivity, deep work, attention residue, and changing cultural norms.

Jay Papasan did not plan on being the CEO of ProduKtive. As the co-founder, he had to step in when the current CEO left for another opportunity. As Jay took a closer look at the plateaued revenue, he knew he had to stay in the seat longer to make some needed adjustments. 

Jay joins us on the show today to talk about the lessons he has learned as a reluctant CEO. We discuss the tough decisions he had to make and why he made them. He shares mistakes made and lessons learned.

No matter how many business successes you have, you will still have failures and challenges. Jay is a role model of humility, accountability, and always viewing change as an opportunity.

After Matt Diamante read The ONE Thing, he decided to give it a try. The ONE thing he chose was to post on social media every day. Now, after only 18 months, Matt has 190,000 Instagram followers, 20,000 followers on TikTok, and his inbox is flooded with business requests for his HeyTony advertising agency. Matt joins us on the show today to explain how The ONE Thing transformed his business.

Matt’s first post was just a video of him sitting on a toilet (don’t worry, fully clothed) and pledging that he would post everyday. From there, he not only developed the habit and improved his on-camera skills, but he also generated data that helped him figure out how to be more and more successful.

Matt gives us a firsthand account of how powerful doing just ONE thing a day can be. Plus, he gives us a few SEO and social media tips that we all can use.

Most people overestimate their ability to read people’s personalities. This leads to hiring the wrong people for the wrong roles, managing people in the wrong ways, and overall just making life harder for everyone. The good news is that reading people’s personalities is a skill that you can develop and improve. Our guest today, Dr. Richard Davis, has just written a book teaching you how.
Richard gives us an overview of his book, “Good Judgment: Making Better Business Decisions with the Science of Human Personality.” He describes the five boxes that make up a personality blueprint: Intellect, sociability, emotionality, drive, and diligence. He teaches us how to study each one in the people who surround us.
Richard has spent his career analyzing personalities for top executive hires. It was incredible to have him on the show today to share some of his “secret sauce.”
