Yes it is. He said you had planned on dedicating 37 minutes to listening to the episode, but he purposely let the file run for 30 extra minutes of silence. Those 30 minutes are for CEO time. Instead of packing boxes or setting up something, you should have used those 30 minutes for big picture, long term, strategic thinking about your business.
BTW, I think things like this are very valuable. I often take the time to sit in silence and just think. Sometimes about business, sometimes about life.
I listened to it and it wasn’t just an intro, but there was a lot of silence - deliberately.
Yes!
The point of the show was to step away from the task work and “take a CEO day.” The silence was to help. A listener that downloaded that show was going to commit 37 minutes to it. That way they would at least take 30 minutes to think bigger. To think like a CEO.
We all, myself included, get caught up in the task work and can go days or even weeks without thinking big picture for the company. That sucks. CEO should be your primary role as an entrepreneur. What’s next is paramount.
Andy and I talked about momentum. How stuff happens when you are moving. How do you keep moving?
I only talked for about 7 minutes. Then I stuck some outro music at the very very end to make the computer ok with it. I mentioned this in the show.
Well now I feel like a dunce. I went back and listened to it again--the whole thing. I must have missed about 40% of the words the first time around in order to not catch the purpose of this episode. Lesson learned. From now on I will actively study this show instead of passively listening to it while groggily going through my morning routine at 3:30 in the morning.
