I'm Cal Newport and this is Deep Questions, the show about cultivating a deep life in a distracted world. Here in my Deep Work HQ, joined as always by my producer, Jesse. One of our first days with the AC on in the HQ. Feel like summer is here. Yeah.

So I feel good about. I just got back from Boston. That was a trip. Took the boys to Finway. Oh, nice.

Who did they play? The White Sox? White Sox, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they lost.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
