#143 - Pick priorities & stay mission-aligned: How to avoid bike shedding | Sam Corcos & Ben Grynol

How many times do you get clear about your priorities, and then get distracted and focus on something completely unimportant because it feels productive? This is what we at Levels call bike shedding, and here we talk about how it happens in companies, and how people can think in order to avoid it. Look for multiple new shows per week on A Whole New Level, where we have in-depth conversations about metabolic health and how the Levels startup team builds a wellness movement from the ground up in the health and wellness tech industry.
