I blogged about my interview experience with Cal Newport the other day.
I am happy to share that the interview is now up in full on Realleaders.tv,. It is insight packed and is a resource for anyone who cares about remarkability in their careers and the concept of deliberate practice.

Dhanya, from the team, put it nicely when she said at the end – “We did bold things that grabbed more attention than the rest, but to be honest – every single word in this transcript must be read and thought about.”
As always, the transcript on Realleaders.tv – click here.
