This week we feature music from the Ottawa indie group Finding Chuck. You can download and listen to their latest songs here!

Andrew was away this week in Mexico so I was joined with Erin Blaskie(@ErinBlaskie, a very good friend of mine and very big in social media and much more! We met up with Chris Bailey (@wigglechicken, who is devoting a year to learn how to become one of the most productive humans on the planet. You can get to the website HERE. We met up with him on the Barley Mow patio in Kanata and spoke about:

– What landed him in Ottawa
– He loves the National Gallery and the Symphony
– Erin tells us about the Carp Farmer’s Market
– How did Chris decide to take a year off to start this productive venture
– How supportive was his parents and his girlfriend
– Did he come up with a business plan for his parents?
– When did it start?
– How can we gauge how productive he has been
– We get into the experiments that he has done
– He watched 70 hours of Ted talks over 7 days
– He meditated for 35 hours of 7 days
– He went towards using one hour of smartphone a day
– What he learned from that and how he did it
– How he accomplished watching 70 hours of Ted talks
– What he has learned about caffeine
