Hi, I'm Rob Schallenberger and I'm about to have a productive conversation with Mike Vardy. Welcome to a productive conversation. I'm Mike Vardi, and the guest on this episode is Rob Schallenberger. He's the CEO of Becoming Your Best Global Leadership and one of the world's top experts on productivity and time management. His resume is as impressive as it gets.

He's flown F-16 in the United States Air Force. He has served as an advanced agent for Air Force One, worked with organizations like the Dallas Cowboys, Charles Schwab, the Israeli Air Force, and even the Rwandan government. Now in this conversation we talk about the second edition of the book, Do What Matters Most, specifically how pre week planning can radically improve your clarity, peace of mind and performance. And Rob also shares his four step system, compelling stories from his military and coaching experience, and why the dash between our birth and our death dates is where the real work and reward lies.

You're going to walk away from this one with both practical tools and meaningful perspective. So let's get started. Here it is, my conversation and a productive one at that with Rob Schallenberger. Rob, thank you so much for taking the time to join me today here on a productive conversation. Absolutely, Mike.
