Jordan Harbinger
About this episode

Greg McKeown (@GregoryMcKeown) is the host of the What's Essential podcast and author of the New York Times bestseller Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, which challenges core assumptions about achievement (e.g., “more is better”) to get to the essence of what really drives success — on one’s own terms.

What We Discuss with Greg McKeown:
  • Essentialism: the antidote to the problems of feeling busy but not productive, stretched too thin in one area of life, and fulfilling the agendas of others but not our own.
  • Learn how to live by design, not by default.
  • Find out how to say “no” effectively without getting in trouble at home — or fired.
  • Discover how to set hard boundaries between work and play.
  • Learn why folks who are originally very good at essentialism can end up ruining their career and their sanity by letting these boundaries slip over time.
  • And much more...
