When did you last finish a workday having done what you planned to do, and not just what landed on your desk? Thanh knows the reactive trap well.

How did Thanh get his arm from 20 degrees to 90 in a single session, just days after shoulder surgery? His surgeon expected that to take more than a month of physical therapy. The answer has less to do with the shoulder than you might think. In this encore episode, Thanh sits down with Garrett […]
How many times have you been halfway to the airport when it hits you that you forgot something important? Thanh spent years as a digital nomad, living in places like Bangkok, Budapest and Ho Chi Minh City. Even as a seasoned traveler he kept leaving things behind, until he started using a tool so simple […]

AI usually fails to save time for one simple reason: the bottleneck is not the model, it is the workflow around it. In this episode, we break down the most common blockers, like unclear prompts, messy source material, too many tools, review overhead, trust issues, and missing definitions of done. We also show you how […]
How many hours did you work straight through yesterday without once stepping away from your screen? For years, Thanh believed that powering through from morning to evening was the secret to getting more done.
