Again. 8.30 a.m. Pacific on October 14th at fastersmarter.io slash masterclass. And now a word from our sponsors. Their support covers the cost of production, allowing us to bring you this episode free of charge.

The more time I can spend thinking, teaching, and communicating clearly, the better I can do the work that really matters to me. Superhuman Go helps me protect more of that time. It works where I already work and is already up to speed on what's in front of me. So if I'm catching up on a long email thread, preparing for a meeting or drafting a response, I can get help right there without switching apps, losing my place, or having to explain all the context again. It's from the makers of Grammarly, which I have relied on for years, and I like that Go can handle some of the most repetitive work that I have to do while I stay in control and focus on the work that actually needs me.

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