#37 - Chris Bailey

Chris Bailey paid a visit to the Ottawhat? studios this week, to discuss his work revolving around productivity. Chris spent a year of his life putting himself through challenges and experiments that he documented on his website, A Life of Productivity. He's currently writing a book about the experience, and he was generous enough to share some lessons he learned with us, and all of you!
