In this episode, Chandler Bolt and I talk about how we've each landed on almost identical daily systems for running a company, and the one place we still disagree. Chandler makes the case that a book is a business asset rather than an income stream, explains what it actually costs to buy your way onto the New York Times list, and then walks through the routine underneath all of it: a nap he hasn't skipped in years, a morning he refuses to let anyone schedule over, and a phone that geofences itself into work mode the moment he arrives at the office.
 
You'll also hear why he self-experiments relentlessly yet refuses to wear a tracker. We get into the two metrics worth watching if you track nothing else, why the 30-minute nap ceiling is weaker science than you've been told, why a hot tub is harder on fertility than a sauna, what overhead LED lighting does to your afternoon and the BlockBlueLight bulbs I use instead, and why a manual WALKOLUTION treadmill desk beats a motorized one. Chandler also shares the airplane movement trick that got him mistaken for a lunatic by a stranger who later became a friend. Then we close on communication: being a default no, replacing calls with voice memos, and using SocialSweep to surface the connections already sitting in your phone.
