Thanh Pham x Vasavi Kumar: The Ultimate Productivity Hack Is Not What You Think
About this episode
We always want more time and in today’s episode of The Being Human Podcast, I’m talking to thought leader and productivity expert, Thanh Pham, about how to make the most of the time we have.
Thanh is the founder of Asian Efficiency, a productivity training company, where they help people become more productive at work and in life. He started Asian Efficiency in 2011 and has helped over 15,000 clients, while he gives keynotes across the world on productivity, efficiency and time management. He’s been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, and Inc magazine, and his blog attracts over 1.5 million readers each year, while his podcast, The Productivity Show, is the #1 productivity podcast with over 9 million downloads.
Listen, it’s very easy to look at people and say “I could never be like that” as if success is unattainable because that person has the time and we don’t - but Thanh’s perspective on time eliminates that completely. He’s giving you an inside look at how his team functions, and how you can efficiently and effectively move through your day to reach your goals - and actually feel good about it.
I’m so excited to share this with you.
