Did you save one of my stories on your reading list but never got to it? Do you prefer listening to reading? Do you enjoy learning about self-improvement and productivity?

If you said yes to any of the above, come and listen to me speak at Medium Day 2024.

I’ll be hosting a session called The Secret Life of People With High Self-Control. (Yes, I’m turning my most popular story into a talk.)

When? Saturday, August 17 at 1 p.m. ET (or, if you’re in Europe like me, at 19:00 CET). The session lasts 30 min.

How can you join? Register to attend Medium Day 2024. It’s free, and the line-up is great!

I’m really excited and honored to be part of this event! I’m so thankful for the Medium Team for inviting me.

But I’m also nervous. Writing a highly-referenced piece — like the ones I’ve written on self-control — is quite different from giving a talk on the topic. But we should do scary things every now and then, right?

I hope to see you at Medium Day 2024! Let’s make a better internet, together.
