About this episode
Productivity and creativity don’t always play nice together. How do you re-energize your creative muscle? What if it’s in walking away from the project that you find renewed passion, vision, and inspiration?

Today, James and Benji are joined again by Mark Jung to discuss a recent post from Eddie Shleyner, about the power of being less productive.
