RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot


Milestones Reached!

I’ve hit a BIG one—I've finished self-editing my fourth productivity book—Think Work Well. Play More! but for teams & companies.

I didn’t just sit at a desk to do it. I read 40,000+ words out loud over two days while walking, biking, and, yes, hula-hooping! (Check out the LinkedIn post here.) Now, it’s with the amazing Emily Crookston for some polishing.

Meanwhile, I’ve been training 712 accounting pros on how to Work Well Remotely

"This should be mandatory for all remote workers." - Jody Williams

Power tip: Most people think a treadmill desk needs to be at a fast speed, like a workout. Walking at 0.5-1.5 mph is perfect—think strolling, not sweating!

I also showed 338 people how to Break Free From Busy

Remember, don’t let your inbox run your day—tackle one of your top tasks first!

Rhonda Murray was so thrilled with the training that she'll share it with her “distractable friends and family."

I later partnered with Chappaqua School District Leadership to bring movement into their day with walking meetings. Walking side by side can promote openness and honesty and inspire creativity. As a student, I would have loved a walkie-talkie with a teacher, principal, or professor.

In Email Extinguisher, I debunked the myth of "Zero Inbox." Filter or create rules so you don't waste time deleting emails.

I've also been overwhelmed with the people who donated to the village school in Ghana.

We are so close; a few dollars goes a long way there. Every bit helps!

If you feel compelled to skip a latte or dinner out this week to support these amazing kids, please show your support here.

It's also my 50th birthday request: Please don't buy me a gift. Buy an education!

When you get this, I'll be on a plane to an undisclosed destination for my 50th birthday.

Kevin's got it all planned as a surprise.

All I know is that it's somewhere I've never been. It's north, and I need hiking boots. :)

Stay tuned for podcast #100 on my 50 by 50 challenge.

On with the Weekender!

Hundreds of monthly ice cream dates...

Ah, the culture buzz! I’ve packed in three live music events and a play in the past two weeks. The highlight? Front row for John Moreland—just me and 38 others in a converted church in Durham after his Asheville performance was canceled. My heart goes out to everyone in the surrounding areas, including Florida, recovering from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. On the RaderCo front… Huge thanks to everyone who voted for my next book title! After a 3-way tie and two more discussions with...

My heart is heavy this week. It’s not my usual vibe here, but with the devastation in my fave city, Asheville, NC, and throughout the South, it’s hard to stay upbeat. If you want to help, consider donating to the Red Cross or a vetted local organization.
