Hi, Matt, how are you? Matt:  I’m well, Barb, how are you? Barbara:  I’m good, thanks. I’m good. What’s been your week like, biggest learning this week for you? Matt:  Yeah, biggest learning.

What I wanted to do was actually interview Matt on the three very distinct sections that are in the book. What we’re going to do is we’re doing a three-part series on The Stop Doing List. Show one today, we’re going to talk about the mindset that you need to get into and the challengesyou’re going to face mindset-wise when you start this stop doing list exercise.
