This week's episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast features an interview with Erik Fisher, host of the über-popular podcast: Beyond the To-Do List. Erik and I discuss everything from productivity to personal growth. I first found Erik through his podcast and then heard him speak at PodCamp Nashville a few months ago. Erik's take on productivity is more laid back than the average overly-caffeinated success junky. I think you'll appreciate his perspective.
