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. My name's Tom Gibson and I'm about to have a productive conversation with Mike Vardy.

Tom, thanks so much for joining me today on the program. Uh, you know, it's always fun to see like the crossover between going somewhere and meeting someone in a completely different context, then having a conversation with them before we even hit record where I'm like, wait, what? You did this? Like I didn't even know that was your background.

And then really finding the commonality that we have beyond that, which is being dads. So thanks for thanks for taking the time to join me today. And uh for those that are like, what's Mike talking about? Like you, you used to work for Kit, right? Which is what the the service I use to deliver the lantern and all my emails.
