Analog Joe Webinar Recording

July 14, 2020 By Mike Schmitz

Last week I had the privilege of being the first webinar guest for my friend Joe Buhlig for his community, Analog Joe. It was a lot of fun, and we got to dive deep on my hybrid productivity system. Joe has graciously allowed me to post the webinar replay here in case you missed it:

If you like this kind of thing, I recommend you go check out Analog Joe. It’s a fun group with an obvious bias towards analog tools, so if that’s your thing, definitely check it out.

Bookworm #97: Reclaiming Conversation

July 10, 2020 By Mike Schmitz

In this episode of Bookworm, Joe & I look at Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle. In our digital age, it’s easy to stay connected. Emails, text messages, and social media allow us to share snippets of our lives with others- without really having to look, listen, or reveal ourselves. Today’s author argues that we have lost the art of conversation, and makes the case that now, more than ever, is the time to get it back.

July 9, 2020 By Mike Schmitz
