I’ve been reading your blog posts, listening to your podcasts, and following your newsletter. I’m wondering if someone with a 9‑to‑5 job should consider the “slow productivity” concepts you discuss and aim for a more balanced life. You mentioned blending personal and professional activities, such as working out during the day.
For a typical 9‑to‑5 schedule, is it realistic to adopt this mindset now, or should it come after achieving financial goals? I feel far from the level of you and Paras Chopra, who have built hundreds of millions of dollars. It seems aligned with my thinking, but I worry it might be naive to approach it from this perspective.
I'm learning so much from each of your reflections, podcasts, and blogs. Thank you for sharing all that.
Love this update, and also noticing some fun overlap between (5) and (8) – IFS is wonderfully powerful, and that power resides in // is simultaneously threatened by its reliance on protocols. I just explored this in my own work on IFS & AI on my substack -- lmk if you'd ever like to chat about that :)
Excited for the podcast!
Great edition! Looking forward to the pod
Wow. Loved this. Thanks for sharing Michael!
Appreciate the shoutout Michael! And love this roundup.
Loved this one Michael!

Hey Michael, curious if you heard back on #19 at all?
What do you mean about #19?
Shoot, I meant #18.

As I mentioned in the email I sent to you: I did not retaliate against you.
I have never been contacted by anyone, nor have I reached out to anyone, regarding any professional opportunities you may have had.
I wish you all the best.
