Undo – How history's outliers got stuff done

Buckminster Fuller and the system of You

An investigation into how history’s oddballs, outliers, and overachievers built systems to help them do their best work.

Each episode unearths a so-called productivity hack from history to help you separate the brilliant from the bullshit, so you can build a methodology that works for you.
