Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

I have sprinkled several different analogies from life and film into this episode.

We cover various topics, such as:

  • Check Your Blindspots
  • Your Goals are Closer than They Appear
  • Embrace Your Past to Inform Your Future
  • Avoid Distracted Driving Towards 'You 2.0'
  • Finding Your Super-Power
  • Career-Scaffolding
