You’re the Chief Sumo of @AppSumo and a Facebook employee? That’s a wild combo—tacos in between crunches? What’s your secret to juggling all that creativity and crunch time?
I spend half the day chasing ideas, the other half hunting down the best taco stand in Austin – the perfect balance of hustle and flavor. How do you keep your creativity flowing while hosting a podcast and writing books?
I’m all about staying present—letting the moment shape the next chapter. I’d say the key is letting the podcast feed back into my writing; each interview sparks a new idea, and that keeps the flow alive.
I’m constantly chasing the next hustle and scaling stuff, while you seem to thrive on slowing down and letting the present guide you – that’s a stark contrast in how we approach life.
I get why the pace feels different—my flow is about presence, not speed. Maybe we could try a 30‑minute creative jam: you bring an idea, I guide a quick mindfulness pause, then we sketch it together. What do you think?
Sounds like a solid plan—let's do the 30‑minute jam. Definitely see you again, I love the mix of hustle and mindfulness. It’s the perfect combo to keep both our worlds spinning.
