How We Kick Off Our In-Person Workweek

One way Ethan Evans and I kicked off our in-person workweek was a waterfall swim!

Our Journey

Our first workweek (Nov 2024) I visited Ethan in Seattle.

This time, Ethan is visiting me in Honolulu.

Three Benefits

We get a lot accomplished remotely and we drive deep benefits from our select in-person time:

  1. Forge a deeper bond and understanding through shared adventure and experiencing how the other person lives
  2. Reconnect with the “Why” and the deeper purpose of our work (beyond the tasks and metrics)
  3. Spontaneous creativity from in the moment conversation

Conclusion

There are different ways to enter a “flow” state or slow down time — sometimes passing by a new art gallery with awe inspiring visuals spark an idea or memory.

The point is…you don’t know when lighting strikes.

Be intentional on how you spend time and energy.
