Episode 008: Dead Air
Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 11:00AM in Episodes After a two-week hiatus, Andrew and Jeffrey triumphantly return to talk about the iPhone 5, work, priorities, time, and attention.

Then, how do we deal with busyness, and how do we decide what gets put on the back burner? And what happens when your decision tank is out of gas? As the pendulum swings, the only way out is through.
