202: Erik Fisher and the Productive Life
Erik Fisher is a productivity podcaster who hosts the Beyond The To Do List, a show I used to listen to all the time in corporate America. He has also spent years as a social media expert and currently serves as the Director of Social Media Education at Agorapulse. Today, Erik shares his relationship with the Lord as a child, how his brother’s brain tumor challenged his faith, and why productivity is a life thing not a work thing. Life is too short to waste even a moment and Erik’s story reminds us that we can serve the Lord with our habits.

Does what you present yourself as match who you are?
I don’t see productivity as a work thing; I see it as a life thing.
I might be that pivot point for someone else.
