[00:01] few years ago when I was working full-time as a doctor. So before I'd morning, I would drive an hour to work. I'd be at work probably from around 8:00 a.m. to about 6:00 p.m. and then I've got like 2 hours of grinding that I can
[00:15] do on my side business before bed. Now I wake up around 8:00 a.m. I spend the with my wife and my daughter. We have like a little family breakfast and then And then at 10:00 I wander over into the office where I am with my team right
[00:29] I'm working with Owen, one of my team members, and we are creating curriculum that we run. Then I usually go out for lunch, sometimes with the team, afternoon me and some friends have partnered up to build a series of apps.
[00:42] productivity app called Superfocus. I spend a couple of hours of live coding look like. I usually finish work by 7:00 p.m. So then I head back home, do like a charge of baby bedtime, so I'll like hang out with the baby and like read to
[00:56] either me and the wife are then hanging out until bed or I'll go for a run or something like that. Even though I'm still working from 10:00 till 7:00, it's fairness, in medicine you're actually saving lives. These days I'm not saving
