Pen Addict (with Brad Dowdy)
from Half Hour Intern · host Blake Fletcher
We live in a fast paced world. On the move, internally and externally, no time to focus on the little things around us that piece together our lives. Sometimes, in rare moments of clarity, peace, or fatigue, we slow enough to appreciate some of what’s around us. We fear that this slowing down will get in the way of our fast paced productivity, but I’ve found the exact opposite to be true. It increases productivity as our true, more capable, selves often come out in the process. Today’s guest knows all about slowing down and appreciating the little things every day. He is a self confessed pen addict. Brad will explain why pens are pretty neat, and how slowing down to write things by hand has helped him cope with the increasing pace of the world around him.
