  • Stop saying “mmhmm”

    Overall, I love this podcast, but please stop saying “mmhmm” every few seconds. I don’t think you intend this, but you sound very impatient when you do that, and it’s distracting. I have a hard time concentrating on what your guests are saying because I just keep thinking, “Is he annoyed at them?”

But then it literally ends halfway through the steps. Almost comically, the last line of the episode is: “All right. After projects, what next? Checklists.”

    The end.

    Again, I understand that the c... more
