most recent podcast
I really enjoyed recording the latest episode of my podcast with Michael.
Michael Karnjanaprakorn is the founder and former CEO of Skillshare and Otis (acquired by Public). before starting companies, he was an early employee at Behance (acquired by Adobe) and Hot Potato (acquired by Facebook). now, he's exploring new ideas, creating content, and making the most of his sabbatical.
we go deep on how he’s rebuilt his own personal operating system to improve his health and find joy. what he’s doing on sabbatical to find purpose. why getting bored is a good thing. how writing can help you find clarity and ways to improve your process. the common mistakes people make when thinking about their careers, and much more.
