05/22/19 • 36 min

Maneesh Seethi runs the company Pavlok, which produces wearable products to help keep you on task, including waking up in the morning, and they also offer coaching. It goes back to when they introduced the Shock Clock into the world. Maneesh spends about half the year in Medellin, Columbia, these days, and works with a remote company team that's based far afield, including in the UK, Asia and the U.S. He talks about the influence of the book The 4-Hour Work Week on his life, his objective with his wearables, which includes a different way for people to rewire their learning habits, how he manages to live on only about $2000 a month while his company "owes" him about 100k, and how he's going to be doing Pavlok until the day he dies.
