We made it to Episode 2 — and hey, so did you! High five! We’re joined this week by our very first guest, Eileen Webb, who straight-up blew our minds with her take on making time on your own terms. Seriously, it’s 💯. Just listen already.

Why should my work get all of my best brain?

Show notes

(Yep, there’s a full transcript, too!)

First things first: is it time for for lunch yet? We think so (we’ve been thinking about snacks since 10:15). We start out with a segment on reclaiming lunchtime for, well, whatever you want:

• Jenn tells us how she convinced her coworkers that watching Jeopardy at work is healthy. (We’re totally sold.)
• Katel sits down for a fancy meal for one.
• Sara heads out for a midday run, meetings be damned.

Eileen Webb in her *most* natural element.

Next, NYG sits down with web strategist-slash-farmer Eileen Webb for an interview that’s sure to stick with all of us for quite some time. We talk about:

• How Eileen and her partner went from burnouts in the first dot-com boom to running a bakery to finding their niche doing digital strategy from their home in northern New Hampshire.
• Why morning meetings don’t work for Eileen’s brain, and how she avoids them.
• Why Eileen trades the 9-to-5 for a sunrise hike every Tuesday — and never once feels guilty about it.
• How to stop letting your calendar (and other people’s bullshit requests) run your life.
• Also, pocket bunnies (no, not those kind).

Also in this episode:

• America’s Favorite Quiz Show® (and don’t you dare tell Jenn otherwise)
• The big-ass boats (no seriously there are so many) at the Philly Navy Yard
• New Year’s Liberations from Cate Huston, Ellen Pao, Karolina Szczur, and Erica Joy
• And of course, we profess our undying love for those ’90s Noxzema girl ads
