We invited our friend Bobby Lyte to join us for an awesome conversation about flow states, focus, deep work, and fun. Bobby is a DJ, producer, software engineer, and the host of Flow State – a podcast to help you focus. We discuss topics including the states of flow: Struggle, Release, Flow, Recovery; Engineering; Managing, and of course, Management. "Should we be communicating all the time? Most workplaces today are essentially turning humans into message senders and receivers – which is terrible for productivity. We're trying to solve complex problems. We need to focus and stay in a problem space to solve those problems, and the work environments are not helping us get there." – Bobby Lyte @ 32:13 "Revisiting a previous thesis of mine that's been established in the show: Management…" – Brad @ 34:04 "Your lack of planning is not my emergency." – Joe Zap @ 38:06 "The temptation to multitask – I could get ahead a little bit if I just send this email while I drive and eat and read the newspaper at the same time." – Kevin @ 40:30 Bobby Lyte online: https://twitter.com/_bobbylyte https://instagram.com/our_flow_state/ Flow State – Bobby Lyte's Podcast to help you focus: https://anchor.fm/flow-state https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flow-state/id1573961748 https://open.spotify.com/show/4IssY4XjHXdpTNOzpaeyxh Other episodes of Entheogen referenced in this episode: Matteson Perry: https://entheogenshow.com/podcast/2016/5/14/028-intro-to-entheogenic-comedy-with-matteson-perry Stealing Fire: https://entheogenshow.com/podcast/2018/2/18/045-stealing-fire-part-1 https://entheogenshow.com/podcast/2018/7/31/046-stealing-fire-part-2 https://entheogenshow.com/podcast/2018/10/19/047-stealing-fire-part-3 Julie Holland: https://entheogen.squarespace.com/podcast/2016/7/12/031-dr-julie-holland
