Episode notes

On today's show, I speak to Matt Mullenweg. I feel like Matt is kind of like internet royalty because he is a founding developer of WordPress, which is the Open Source software used by over 31% of the web. He also founded Automattic which now employs around 700 people. Matt has been named one of PC World's Top 50 People on the Web and Business Week's 25 Most Influential People on the Web.

In this conversation, we cover a whole bunch of topics such as:
  • Matt's innovative approach to consuming books
  • How Matt stays focused on important tasks
  • Matt's approach to meetings
  • Techniques to create healthier habits
  • What's on Matt's smart phone home screen
  • Matt's favourite productivity apps
  • Why Matt still uses a paper notebook
  • The podcasts Matt is listening to and books he is reading
And a whole lot more.
