I wake up every morning at 6am so I can have a slow morning with a good breakfast, in addition to the usual shower/shave routine. 

At 7:30 I have a daily standup with our developers, then I get to all the CEO stuff at 8:00. That includes whatever’s in my “To Do’s” on Basecamp, running webinars, taking calls, having meetings, etc.

At noon, I work out. 

I have lunch at 1, and then I get down to recording content. We have a podcast, The $100 MBA Show, and I also record demo videos, videos for courses, and anything else that requires me to be in our home “studio.”

At 5, I have another standup with the developers. Then I create my “ToDo’s” for the following day. Finally, I stop working at 6pm. Then it’s time to shut down, and start helping my co-founder and partner Nicole make dinner.

Our company has always been 100% remote, including Nicole and me. We have a home office, where I keep an adjustable desk that lets me stand or sit, depending on what I’m doing. 

My desk is pretty minimalist and tchotchke-free. I just have my keyboard, a 27” monitor, and all my webinar gear: that’s a boom arm and mic, a ring light, and my webcam. Sometimes there’s a cat, too.

DJ Nicole has some go-to Spotify playlists: Brain Food and Lo-fi Hip-Hop, for example. But I kinda tune everything out when I work, so most days I couldn’t tell you if she was playing Brahms or Biggie.
