Michael Port is a best-selling business author. His first book, Book Yourself Solid was on the best seller lists for months, and this week he’s publishing his latest, The Think Big Manifesto. Its subtitle says it all: “Think you can’t change your life (and the world)? Think again!”
I’m thrilled that Michael wrote a piece for Do More Great Work.
In this interview Michael and I look at:
- Why you should know your limits and avoid the Bonk
- The power of goal setting
- How to create a To Not Do list
- The Think Big Revolution
This interview is approximately 20 minutes long.

David Allen wears the title “business guru” lightly. He’s well known around the world for his first book Getting Things Done (recently acclaimed one of the top 100 business books) and for his most recent Making it All Work. But while he heads the GTD movement (and you can Google that to see how deep and wide it goes), he does it was a sense of humour, a humility and a wisdom that is a delight. I have the pleasure of being David’s “creativity coach” on his membership site, and this interview is the latest in our on-going conversation on Great Work, productivity and doing the stuff that matters.
This interview is approximately 20 minutes long.
