About the Show

This is BizCraft, the podcast about the business side of web design, recorded live almost every two weeks. Your hosts are Carl Smith (@carlsmith) of nGen Works and Gene Crawford (@genecrawford) of UnmatchedStyle.

Episode Overview

In this episode of BizCraft Carl and Gene talk about doing your best work and being a great person and dealing with people you work with.

Show Flow:

Time, Focus, & Priorities

Is it possible to be great at your job/work and also be great at relationships/family/good friend?

How do you choose what to spend your time on?

“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done.” (Steve Jobs)

Walking Out On Walking Out

“We’ve replaced diligence, perseverance, and conflict-resolution, with discontent, arrogance, and entitlement. Work is hard, and hard work is even harder. Jobs can and should be fun, but if we chase fun at all costs, it reveals our misguided interpretation of what work really is.”
