This isn’t a future-of-work episode. It’s a how-to-work-differently episode.

Paul Shirley returns for his third appearance on the show—and this time, we go deep. We’re talking focus, structure, guilt, failure, personal infrastructure, and why GenX escapees need systems more than strategies.

If you’ve ever felt like:

• You “should be able to do more” but can’t quite get there…

• You’ve got time now, but not the energy or structure to use it…

• You miss having a rhythm but hate the idea of being back in a box…

Then this episode is your reset.

What we cover:

• How Paul’s focus system helped me become 100x more effective

• Why 15 minutes of deep work beats 2 hours of chaos

• The science (and myth) behind your tired brain

• Guilt, failure, and why most productivity advice is toxic

• How rituals become your “Turbo button” for meaningful work

• The connection between food, flow, and freedom

• How to plan your days so you don’t burn out—or break down

This one isn’t about getting more done. It’s about getting the right things done—and feeling good doing it.

📍 Denver Escapees — Listen Up:

If you’re anywhere near Denver, go visit The Process—Paul’s workspace for focused humans. Not a coworking space. Not a cafe. This is structured productivity, in community. Absolute game changer.

📚 Paul’s Books:

The Art of Focused Work (2025) – A must-read manual for modern cognitive athletes

The Process Is the Product (2020) – The original that started it all
