Hey podcast friends! This week our conversation was sparked by a book, Deep Work by Cal Newport, Marian is reading. So what is deep work? What is shallow work? We think these answers are personal to you, and the work you do. We chat about:

Defining deep and shallow work in your life & the difference between the two

How the online climate is pushing us to work in the shallows and we can struggle so much to work in the digital world, when so much of our work is deep.

How we sense the shift of peers on social media platforms…we are all just a little tired of the pressure to show up on these platforms as a second (shallow) job on top of our deeper work.

The permission we all have to share online as simply a way to share the work we actually do.

The “soul tax” of social media platforms and their intended purpose (and it doesn’t have anything to do with growing your business).

How to show up online in a way that feels authentic to you, so you can spend your days on the deep work of your life.
