  • In this episode I speak with the very fun and engaging Samantha Bennett about how to tap into and explore the things that bring you joy in a way that’s reasonable and not at all intimidating. We discuss her latest book The 15-Minute Method: The Surprisingly Simple Art of Getting It Done, which isn’t just about productivity hacks or working more efficiently. Instead, it asks us to adjust our outlook and realize an important truth: we don’t achieve more simply by doing more — we achieve more by doing more of the things that matter.

    Sam is a writer, speaker, actor, teacher, and creativity-productivity specialist and author of the bestselling, Get It Done: From Procrastination to Creative Genius in 15 Minutes a Day, which Seth Godin described as “An instant classic, essential reading for anyone who wants to make a ruckus.”

    This bestseller was followed by, Start Right Where You Are: How Little Changes Can Make a Big Difference for Overwhelmed Procrastinators, Frustrated Overachievers and Recovering Perfectionists. She is the founder of TheRealSamBennett.com, a company committed to helping overwhelmed creatives and frustrated over-achievers get unstuck, so you can prioritize, focus and move forward on the goals that matter to you.

    She is also a wildly popular course instructor on LinkedIn Learning with over a half-million participants and an average of 4.8 stars in a range of courses including, Time Management for Busy People, How to Stop Wasting Time in Meetings, Embracing Times of Uncertainty, and How to Write Emails People Will Actually Read.

    In this episode Sam discusses:

    Our unhealthy relationships with time and moneyValue-driven motivationsWhere are you focusing your energy?What matters to you and are you prioritizing it?The 15-minute a day pledgeHer idea of incorporating the pledge into the corporate worldBusiness before pleasure?Zone of geniusRegretWhere does confidence come from?DisciplineHow to manage when you're experiencing difficult life circumstances

  • Sci fi and fantasy author Daryl Gregory describes his books as “psychological realism in the face of surrealism.” He tackles topics that I find fascinating like the nature of consciousness, free will, paranormal abilities, and the power of belief, specifically of the religious variety. And then when I learned that he doesn’t really believe in the things that he writes about, I was intrigued and eager to have a conversation with him. Happy to report that he was up for it!

    Daryl Gregory’s novels and short stories have been translated into a dozen languages and have won multiple awards, including the World Fantasy and Shirley Jackson awards, and have been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, Edgar, Locus, Lambda, and Sturgeon awards.

    His latest books are the novel Revelator (Knopf) and the novella The Album of Dr. Moreau (tor.com). His eight other books include Spoonbenders, We Are All Completely Fine, Afterparty, the Crawford-Award-winning novel Pandemonium, and the collection Unpossible and Other Stories, a Publishers Weekly book of the year.

    He’s an executive producer and writer for several of his novels being adapted for television. He also teaches writing and is a regular instructor at the Viable Paradise Writing Workshop.

  • It was Vermont's turn for another catastrophic climate event because, as you know, climate change is a hoax (sarcastic face emoji). Last week the already saturated central corridor of Vermont received an additional 6-8 inches of rain over a 24 hour period. Hardest hit was the tiny capital city of Montpelier where I opened my wellness center 9 years ago. I love Montpelier.
    So many folks have reached out in the last week to check in on me. It’s been incredibly heartwarming. Thank you for that. I thought the best way to connect with all of you would be to just record a brief episode so that I can tell you the story of the flood.
