Fed up with boring self-development podcasts? Then you need SHARPPODCAST! We help you get better at the stuff you have to do, freeing up more time to spend on what you want to do. We do it with humour, quality, great resource and NEVER taking ourselves too seriously.Join us and sharpen your saw, with a smile on your face. In fact, spending time sharpening the saw can reduce the time it takes you to cut down the tree. This podcast takes that principle and shows you how to be intentional about what you do, apply a little structure, and actually spend less time - but get more done.
