Quick one first. There's a word we lost somewhere between the factory and the laptop. My new book is called Productiveness, and mikevardi.com slash productiveness is where you can get it. Okay, in we go. Hey, it's Mike, and you might notice a couple of things.

First off, my voice sounds not so great right now, and that's because I'm under the weather, so that's why this episode arrived later than usual. But the other reason I'm popping in here, despite my voice being like it is, is that we had some technical difficulties recording this conversation with Daniel Coyle. It has some intermittent audio hiccups that happen uh on Daniel's side of the conversation at points throughout the conversation. It doesn't diminish the content.

So I decided that we were going to air this episode regardless. But I just wanted to give you a heads up so that way you'll notice there might be a few of these hiccups as you listen to the episode. Um unfortunately there's nothing that I could do to uh fix this in post. So I hope you'll enjoy the conversation anyway because it was a really great one and I've had Daniel on the show before and it's always a a great chat with him.
