The Currency of Life: Understanding Time (The Short Version) ~ with Brad Prendergast

from Coffey Talk · host Kate Coffey-Bacon

This short version of my conversation with Brad Prendergast gets right to the heart of it. We talk about time in a way that has nothing to do with productivity and everything to do with being alive. We break down the moments that actually shape a life, what we lose when we rush, and why attention is the real currency we’re spending every day.You’ll hear the parts of “4,000 Weeks” that hit us the hardest, the mindset shifts we’re still working through, and the reminders we both needed about living like time actually matters.This preview is just a slice of the full conversation, and the full episode goes even deeper into presence, choices, and what it actually means to build a life you recognize.If this 12-minute cut resonates with you at all, I promise the full conversation will land even harder. Make time for the full episode — it’s worth it.👉🏻Contact information for Brad Prendergast: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-prendergast/Books we referred to: 4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals - By Oliver BurkemanStolen Focus; Why You Can’t Pay Attention- and How to Think Deeply AgainBy Johann HariWhy We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and DreamsBy Matthew WalkerThanks for tuning in to Coffey Talk with Kate Coffey-Bacon!Real people.

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
