[0:00] so what's what's the title of your book
[0:01] do you have a title yet you're like
[0:03] it's building a second brand building a
[0:04] second brain yeah so
[0:06] like you've been sort of a figurehead in
[0:10] thinking about
[0:10] strategies for organizing personal
[0:13] knowledge and actually making a system
[0:14] that works for people for
[0:16] you know for for real knowledge work for
[0:18] having better ideas for like
[0:20] getting control over all the crazy
[0:22] inputs that are coming into your life
[0:23] like making sense of all this stuff and
[0:26] and i i sort of think of you as like the
[0:28] david allen for writers right of like or
[0:31] for
[0:32] for things that aren't just tasks for
[0:34] things that are like long-standing ideas
[0:36] that you're trying to develop
[0:37] um that's what i aspire to for sure yeah
[0:41] he was all about like stress-free
[0:42] productivity and creating an external
[0:43] system that like works for
[0:45] your like tasks and things but certain

[0:52] and so i i've been really impressed by a
[0:55] lot of your thinking in this space our
[0:57] historical beef is just about tools um
[1:00] because you've seen
[1:01] the rise and fall of probably a hundred
[1:02] different note-taking apps
[1:04] in the course of doing this and people
[1:06] pitching you to try to get you to use
[1:08] this
[1:08] but uh yeah my my beef with the i i
[1:12] similarly have a lot of disdain for the
[1:14] industry as a whole because most people
[1:15] are not actually trying to think things
[1:18] through from first principles and and
[1:20] build a new kind of system but
[1:21] i hate files and folders and i think
[1:23] that a lot of the problems that peopl
