A Conversation With Entrepreneur, Productivity Coach, and Writer, Tiago Forte—

Hey Eclectic Spacewalkers!

In September, I sat down with coach, entrepreneur, and writer Tiago Forte. He is the creator of BuildingASecondBrain.com, which is: “on a mission to radically improve the effectiveness of human beings while making work a vehicle for personal growth.”

Originally published on our Substack newsletter:

Tiago is also the Founder of Forte Labs & Writer of the Praxis newsletter. His goal of helping people not just survive, but thrive, while working in modern times. “Together, we’ll expand the definition of modern knowledge work, experiment with new ways of doing more with less, and explore what it means to fulfill our human potential.”

I hope you enjoy the conversation, and until next time - Ad Astra!
