Episode #324: Productivity with Mike Vardy

Mike Vardy is an author, speaker, and productivity and time management strategist.

He’s the founder of Productivityist, and the company's mission is to help people stop 'doing' productive and start 'being' productive through a variety of online and offline resources.

He is the author of "The Front Nine: How to Start the Year You Want Anytime You Want” and most recently "The Productivityist Playbook."

He has served in an editorial capacity for The Next Web and is a contributor to The Huffington Post, GTD Times, 99u, Lifehacker, and SUCCESS Magazine.
