112: Noah Kagan Working Through Depression and Becoming More Productive

Noah Kagan (@NoahKagan) was employee #30 at Facebook and employee #4 at Mint.com, and the founder of Sumo.com and AppSumo. He's a superstar in the world of tech and entrepreneurship. He also hosts the podcast Noah Kagan Presents. He's done a lot in his life, and you'd think everything was rosy with his career. Based on his resume, you'd think that it's all been rainbows and unicorns for Noah. But you're wrong.

 

But like me, Noah has experienced bouts of depression in his life. 

 

We're not just talking about having a bad day, or even a tough week. We are talking about consistently thinking about bad things for years.

We talked about our own techniques for dealing with depression. He's also got some great techniques to help improve your mental productivity.
