That was probably one of the best things that could have happened.

Because the fact that I had to choose between them, you know, that got me thinking, there's a model of happiness I love from Martin Seligman.

And he says that how happy something makes us can be attributed to three things.

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of The Man Talks podcast. My name is Roger Nairn.

And I'm Connor Beaton. This week we have a very, very special guest. His name is Chris Bailey.

Chris Bailey has written an incredible book called The Productivity Project, where he actually spent a year just focusing on productivity, trying all the different tips and tools you could possibly imagine. He interviewed

hundreds of different productivity experts and executives and called it all down into this

incredible book, which is now being released. It's one of our favorite interviews I think we've

done. It's incredibly valuable and we're really excited about it.

What do you think, Connor?

Yeah, I mean, I think productivity is one of those hot topics that a lot of us are really fascinated with.

And we've definitely, I think there's a lot of people that don't feel successful with it.

And, yeah, I think the great thing about Chris's messes is that he boils it down into really simple,

really manageable and bite-sized pieces so that you can take action in your day-to-day life

and in your weeks and sort of like call out all the stuff that's not helping you be productive

and allow you to really hone in on the things that leave you feeling successful, which is fantastic.

Absolutely. Now, you might be hearing. We have a little bit of a better audio quality today,

and that's for one very special reason. We're actually recording today's podcasts from the studio,

the downtown studios of Roundhouse Radio, 98.3 Roundhouse Radio. It's a brand new station in Vancouver.

If you hadn't had a chance to listen to it yet, it's incredibly awesome. It's what you call micro-focused radio. It's all about Vancouver, incredible, incredible hosts, incredible topics, and just a great way to spend the day listening to. So thanks so much to Roundhouse Radio. Thanks to much to Aaron the engineer, who's been helping us out. But we'd also like to announce our very first ever sponsor on the Mantalks podcast. And we're growing up. We're not young pups anymore. We're big boys now. We've got sponsors. And today's sponsor is Van City Buzz. We'd love to thank Van City Bus so much for being a sponsor of the podcast. Do you love Vancouver? Stay connected to your city with the latest news, events, sports, music, and more with VanCity Buzz.

So I'm curious, Connor, what is your favorite thing to do in Vancouver?
