The Art of Focused Work - Paul Shirley
Paul Shirley, former NBA basketball player turned productivity guru, returns to the podcast for a conversation with Bridget that takes us from his Kansas farm origins (where apparently growing your own food creates a family of giants) to battling what he calls the "Distraction Industrial Complex." Paul breaks down why we're all suffering from "informational diabetes" in an age where we consume 74 GB of data daily—the same amount our ancestors got in a lifetime. Between near-death basketball injuries, discovering Denver's anti-alcohol movement, and explaining why Gen Z has basically become a different species, Bridget and Paul discuss how our shortcut-obsessed culture has left us busier than ever despite all our time-saving tech. Paul's solution? "The Process"—a system that treats focused work like mammoth hunting and proves that sometimes the best way forward is to actually slow down and break things into 25-minute chunks of focused work. Part sports psychology, part cultural commentary, it's the kind of conversation that makes you want to immediately turn off your phone and actually accomplish something meaningful.
