SASM 018 – Productivityists and Asking the Right Questions with Mike Vardy

Mike Vardy brings a lot to the party.

Or show. Or event. Or the Internet in general.

In this episode of the Smart and Simple Matters (SASM) show, I welcome Mike to join me for a chat that bounces between wise, goofy, and practical dynamite.

I've been impressed with Mike for a while now – even before I knew he existed (you'll have to listen to understand how that's possible). His new book, The Front Nine, builds on a resume that already includes being a prolific podcaster, respected public speaker, and in some circles, a pretty great dad.

So it should be no surprise when Mike comes up with memorable words during our chat like this:

Being a productivityist becomes more about the ‘why to do' instead of the ‘how to do.' So you become more mindful. You start to make choices that are based about the things that you really want to as opposed to the things you have to do.

You can find Mike's writing in many places now, but don't go searching for his 3rd grade science serial masterpiece or his 8th grade novella The Green Thang and All. He's evolved significantly since those formative writing days and has better things to offer the world now…like this great conversation.
