How to Work Smarter, Not Just Harder, AND Have Free Time

The problem with working 13+ hours a day I have come across many individuals who work hard. Some work 10 to 15-hour days.

The Product Paradox: What You Don’t Know About Consumer Psychology & Habits

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned in the last decade is that we are far from rational creatures. We sometimes behave based on emotion and cognitive biases.

How To Take Successful People Out For Coffee

Based on the speech and exchange I had with Mark, he appeared to be a regular guy. Famous and successful people are humans at the end of the day, not objects you put on a pedestal.

A lot of successful people have recommended taking people you admire out for coffee, especially when you’re starting, so you can learn from them or even get them as your mentor.
