Today's episode is mind bending and eye opening. I hope you've had your coffee! My guest is John K. Coyle, #TheTimeGuy. John is a world leading expert in innovation and Design Thinking, and best-selling author of Design For Strengths: Applying Design Thinking to Individual and Team Strengths (2018) and The Art of Really Living Manifesto (2016). A graduate of Stanford University’s Product Design Program, John is an NBC sports analyst, two-time TEDx presenter, and sought-after keynote speaker. He earned an Olympic silver medal for speedskating.

In this episode we talk about how to "design for your strengths" and also expand time through choosing experiences that have depth and breadth. 

John also explains:

• what he means by “innovate the human experience” 
• the differences between chronological time and experiential time 
• why time speeds up as we age
• what crying has to do with slowing down time
• what “event horizon moments” are and why are they important
• what "flow state" means and how you know you're in it
• the difference between being afraid of something and being bad at something
• what public speaking has to do with all of this
