Those that work in Silicon Valley know that there are some books that everyone is all but required to read: The Lean Startup, The Innovators Dilemma & The 4-hour Work Week are a few. The books change with the seasons, yet somehow CEOs chug through 60 books a year, while you're just trying to get your product shipped on time. That's where we come in! Chuck and Gunnar work in the tech world but in different areas (Engineering vs Product). We read each book & bring our own views/background to the conversation. Joining us each episode is a subject matter expert on each topic we cover.

The 4-hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss (with guest Maria Abernathy)
Escape the 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich so says the author of this month's book "The 4-hour Workweek". A book rich in borrowed wisdom, that quotes the likes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and any other name that will grab a headline, but does the author's message land? Many of us have heard of the 4-hour work week, but have you read it? Many wise words are shared, but also, as our hosts share, are numerous points shared that don't land. Join us this week as hosts Chuck and Gunnar are joined by Maria Abernathy (VP of Operations at PatientCo), as they discuss eliminating waste in your life, planning for "retirement", and seeking happiness.
