The Future of Getting Things Done w/Georgie-Ann Getton Mckoy of GSD & McKoy Inc.
Georgie-Ann is a leader shaping the future of work for the better. Before turning 25 she started more than 5 businesses, gave a TEDx talk, launched two podcasts, and authored a book entitled "Getting Sh*t Done", where she uses her story to help others turn their dreams in to reality. She's literally the definition of productivity, so much so that she calls her self "The Execution Strategist". In this episode Georgie walks us through how she went from selling candy in middle school, to selling t-shirts at 13, and hosting summits at 21. She tells us why done is truly better than perfect and how she's learned from her mistakes. Lastly, she dishes on her thoughts on the future of work and how to prepare for that future, and explains why being a "portfolio careerist" is soo much better than being a "gig worker". Georgie's a good friend of mine and I was excited to have her speak so candidly about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship on the podcast! Don't forget to leave a review if you like what you here. It helps a young podcast like this one get discovered by other great listeners.
