Hello everyone, this is Greg McEwan. I'm your host and I am on this journey with you to learn,

to understand so that we can live a life that really matters and make a contribution.

How much do you waste? Time, money, energy, even your life,

solving the wrong problems? That's a question posed by my guest today. This is Part One of a

two-part interview with Thomas Whidell with El Spock. I became aware of his work after reading

an article that he wrote in Harvard Business Review. By the end of this episode, you will be able

to reframe problems in order to reveal unexpected solutions. Let's get to it.

This episode is sponsored by Factor Meals. The season is a bit ironic, I think, because on the one hand,

it's a time that can be peaceful, rejuvenative, inspirational as it helps us to think about

higher, better things, and at the same time, it can become reactive, it can be the busiest time of

the year, and in that intensity, it can be hard to eat in a healthy way, and perhaps you're looking

for a way to be able to eat a nutritious, flavorful meal, despite being stretched a bit too thin. Factor

is America's number one ready-to-eat meal delivery service, so they can help you eat well

for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with chef-prepared, dietician-approved, ready-to-eat meals delivered

healthy lifestyle that you're aspiring to the rest of the year, while still tackling the most

important things in this season's to-dos. So if you're looking for a more effortless way to be

able to cross meal prepping off your list, Factor can be a useful solution because you get to skip
