In this episode, I sit down with Joff Outlaw and Brad Marshall, co-authors of Busy Idiots, to explore the modern obsession with busyness and the digital distractions that keep us in a perpetual cycle of inefficiency. We dive into why productivity has been hijacked by technology, how workplace cultures reinforce the need to “look busy,” and practical strategies for auditing your digital life.
