you're finally "getting it"

I always appreciate when an author does their own audiobook. Makes the message more authentic.

Cal Newport always has something to bring to the table. A man with great overall insights.

My two favorite people!

I love when these two get together. Loved hearing them talk on Cal's pod. I think Ryan gets the best outta Cal because he's able to bro down but he's also a real intellectual in his own right. I'd love to hear more of these two together

They should write books together or share a podcast.

RE: shows how solid cal newport is when being secure and confident about his podcast and algorithms. i love that. HE orients his life

My son was/is profoundly multiply developmentally disabled. When I was foster mom we had a social worker who was impressed at my achievements. She said once, “You should document how much time you spend working with him.” I answered, “It’s not how many hours I work with him; it’s how many hours I watch him and think about him.” Yes, productivity isn’t necessarily about hours put in; it’s often about thought put in.

31:48 people in productivity space, "Show me what you've done!" This is great. There are popular "productivity" KZreadrs whose only output is videos about productivity and they haven't actually achieved anything (let alone anything positive).

Listening to this at 1.25 speed feels like a paradox considering the opening subject.

It's twice as long as it needs to be. If it takes more than an hour to get your point across, you're doing it wrong.

"Throwing busyness at something" is something most people won't admit they do regularly

Motion ≠ Progress Enjoyed the conversation 🙏

Enjoying the podcast. Additionally, could you incorporate timestamps? They're really helpful.

I love that Holiday wears eyeliner.

Just finished reading the book. Such an interesting topic. Thank you!

❤thank you for this

Lovely podcast

Reporter: why does it take so long for you to make a film? Stanley Kubrick: what makes gold? Time...

28:21 these guys are vibing so hard. “Did we just become best friends?!”

Seasonality suggestion: when you have a library, just take clips from your top podcasts on certain topics and mash them together and schedule them to release during your vacation time.

Thank you for doing this interview. There is value in not optimizing every moment of your life. It's not cookie, though philosophy can give us a form.

Why is the volume so low on this podcast?

Who is the person in the bottom right box at 0:18 ?

Great talk overall but the whole "what are you doing" schtick rang hollow. Not everyone wants to write 10 books maybe? Minor quibble to a nice chat.

Thats what crossed my mind too. Ryan, sometimes, puts others down to support his ideas.

omg these 2h podcasts 😭 I question the value of these ramblings, under any interpretation of the word “value”

Wesleyan, not Swarthmore. Lin Manuel Miranda.

People 100% care about ur gpa depending on your job. I work in the sciences. They ask gpa and it is taken into account. Cs get degrees don’t get jobs and that’s how we weed them out. That’s bad advice. Grades are a great metric to measure success. I love Ryan’s advice but he is a drop out who doesn’t use a degree. I wouldn’t use his advice on that.

It may be good in the beginning out of college, but once you build up experience, that becomes more relevant than your GPA ever was.

@jarredking899 interesting. I think for my industry (marketing), I'd probably only care if I'm hiring out of college or internship. The rest for me is your work experience and what folks think of your performance. However, I can see how it can be relevant to your industry as well.

@@malovina I think the lesson here is there is no one way is the correct way. In some cases it does count and others it doesn’t but as it is a metric for your quality of work and frankly level of intelligence to a degree I would not think of a gpa as a pointless standard or measurement. Inversely I wouldn’t beat yourself up if you can’t maintain a great one.
