If so, you aren't alone. In this episode of <em>The Growth Equation Podcast, </em>we welcome Cal Newport, bestselling author of <em>Deep Work, Digital Minimalism, </em>and most recently, <em>A World Without Email. </em>Of course we dive into Cal's new book. But we also explore Cal's journey to becoming an author who is also a computer scientist, and who was formerly a pretty dang good athlete all the way up to the collegiate level.
