On transmission: GLOBAL SUMMIT 2012 [Review]

Yesterday I discussed one component of the transmission: GLOBAL SUMMIT that I attended last week, which allowed me to be somewhat of an onlooker.

The Mikes’ Awkward Journey to GTD

The latest episode of Mike on Mics is a bit of a revelation. Simply put, both Michael Schechter and yours truly do our best to chronicle what our paths to GTD looked like. Suffice to say, neither path was too similar, and we also dive into what path might be best for someone just getting
