I had a great time talking with Adam Moody on his podcast Real World Productivity. We discuss everything from mindset shifts needed for increased productivity to the tools I use on a daily basis (my “stack”). Visit the episode webpage here or listen below:
In this wide-ranging conversation, Jonny and I talked about many of the personal growth aspects of my work, including intuition, breathwork, and what it feels like to have a “second brain.” Click here for a full transcript, visit the podcast website here, or listen below:
I recently joined Khe Hy for an AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) he does every month with subscribers of his email newsletter. It was a ton of fun! We got questions ranging from productivity, to building email lists and online businesses, to my Full-Stack Freelancer model, and beyond. Watch the recording below:
Check out my super in-depth, 2-hour conversation with my co-instructor David Perell below. We talk about what we think the future of online education will look like, how creativity and productivity are evolving in the modern world, and what we’ve learned from teaching over 1,000 students through our online courses, Building a Second Brain and…
I’ve never really written publicly about “community.” It’s not because I don’t think it’s important. It’s because I think it’s all-important. Almost too important to address directly.

This is an interview with my online course marketing coach Billy Broas. It is an in-depth discussion on what really matters in the marketing of online courses, contrary to what most programs promise (10 easy steps to a profitable online course!). He built and sold his own course Homebrew Academy, and now helps other course…
I have a confession: my Second Brain hasn’t been working very well lately. The problem is the “Resources” stack, one of the four main buckets that are part of my PARA organizational system. It has ballooned to more than 100 individual notebooks, and I can’t even remember which ones exist. Which means the decision of…
