About this listen

In this episode, Jane and Austin dive deep into the powerful and often misunderstood concept of focus, as defined by three legendary business minds: Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates. It's a journey that began with a simple dinner party conversation and evolved into a core principle for world-class success. They didn't achieve greatness by saying "yes" to everything important. Instead, they mastered the difficult art of saying "no" to distractions—even the good ones. Jane and Austin explore Buffett's brutal "two-lists" strategy, Jobs' ruthless product cuts at Apple, and practical techniques you can use to build an ironclad focus in your own life. Get ready to shift your perspective on productivity and discover why the secret to success might just be found in what you choose to ignore.

  • Steve Jobs' Approach to Focus at Apple
  • Translating Corporate Focus to Individual Practice
