Hey folks how are you getting on? Welcome to episode number six of The Larb. This is the podcast show for artists, creatives, creative people, creative entrepreneurs you might say. This week in episode six I’m taking a look at the secret to success. It’s something I’ve written about quite a bit on larrygmaguire.com, and this week my partner in conversation, Tom Carter and I get into a conversation about this.

I’m suffering from information overload. I’ve heard enough time management advice and read enough stupid fucking life hacking articles to last me several lifetimes. Our focus should on that one thing that energises us, that gives us pleasure and enjoyment. It’s not about being great at managing your time doing shit you’d rather not do.
