You Need This Podcast
Cal Newport’s podcast has quickly embedded itself into my weekly summer routine. His podcast reinforces valuable insights found in his books throughout my week. Honestly, “valuable insights” seems too weak of a phrase to capture how much Cal has positively transformed both my work life and my personal endeavors since beginning his podcast. All I can ask for is the continuation of this podcasts past the trial period this summer!
