Productive Audio Show With Michael Sliwinski

What motivates people in No Office company? People work for money but not because of money. Give your employees something cool, a purpose to work in your company. Let them make decisions and give them freedom. They should choose how they reach the goal and when they'll work on that. The key to keep the flow is asynchronous work. The most important thing is that you have to trust your employees. Treat them as partners and adults so they'll work as adults.

Unboxing on Periscope again, this time with my personal review of the Apple Watch as I've had it for 1,5 months. I'm giving my "old" Apple Watch to my wife as I'm unboxing and getting the new Space Grey 38mm one. I'm a fairly short guy with small wrist, so 38 is a lot better for me than the 42 watch - I tried both sizes in the Apple Store. In this video I take viewers questions and demo some Watch apps, like also our very own Nozbe app. Question: Did you get an Apple Watch? Which one? What do you think? Please post your comments below, thanks!

Today I have a pretty thorough gadget review and unboxing experience of Canon EOS 100D also known as Rebel 1 - a perfect semi-professional camera for an amateur photographer, video-maker and a father who just wants to shoot better pictures of their children. I've done this unboxing a few months back and I've used this camera since on a number of occasions and it's brilliant. Totally recommend it! Also I talk about the accessories I bought with the camera - which, why, and how much it all costs. Enjoy and if you've got some pro advice for me - let me know in the comments - I've only started with this!

Separate wallet and an iPhone is such an old concept. Now with Apple Pay even more so. That's why after I got an iPhone 6 Plus I decided to create my own wallet for it. I wanted to fit at least 4 cards and some cash. Before this I used to have an iPhone 5S with Quirky Crossover cover... but now that they're not going to produce any of these, I decided to go DIY way - so there you go, here's how you can create a DO IT YOURSELF iPhone 6 Wallet out of a simple iLUV sillicone case with nail scissors. Question: *Do you carry a separate wallet? Would you want to build one of these?* Please post your comments below, thanks!
