Hello, I’m Michael Sliwinski, founder of Nozbe - to-do app for modern teams. I write about productivity, #NoOffice, #iPadOnly and I believe that work is not a place you go to, it’s a thing you do.
The Podcast is a conversation between me and Radek (@radexp, radex.io), Nozbe’s VP of Engineering, that we’ve been having for the last 4+ years about productivity, business, books, and whatever else comes to mind… about 1-2 episodes per month. Subscribe
I interview Radek to get an answer to one pressing question: why the heck would you move to a big city, if you could live anywhere?
And we’re back with another episode of “The Podcast” and we’re also back with discussing a book, this time by Reid Hastings - No Rules Rules - Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention (Amazon or Audible) - and how ideas from this book inspired change in our Nozbe company.
We’re back recording The Podcast! after more than half a year of silence! And we geek out. Actually, Radek does as he explains how he’s managing his groceries (the same way the Japanese factories are doing lean manufacturing!). Let’s hope we’ll be recording more episodes in 2021 - please let us know if you want us back for good!

This week on The Podcast we discuss my latest invention - CORE HOURS - a concept that has helped me have a very productive start of the year… listen up as it’s really a great deal for me and can be a game-changer for you:
This week on The Podcast we discuss how we’re implementing lean ideas from the last episode of the podcast into our day-to-day work:
Last week on The Podcast we discussed lean manufacturing and three books related to it: “The Machine that changed the world” (Amazon, Audible) , “2-second lean” (Amazon, Audible) and “Lean thinking” (Amazon, Audible) … and why these ideas are still applicable to us:
