Here at Nerdette we’ve been thinking a lot about how much the world can wear us down. Which has led us to a very important question: How do so many successful, inspiring people have the time and energy to be so successful and inspiring?

Power Up is a new project where we ask fascinating people how they set themselves up for success in what can be an exhausting world. How do amazing (non-robot) humans recharge their (hypothetical) batteries? We want to know!

Because we all have the same number of hours in a day — even the scientists, poets, astronauts and adventurers — and as Oprah might say: You need to live your BEST LIFE.

Subscribe now and get Power Up delivered to you on Friday, April 27. Click the play button above to hear a preview.

We also want to hear how YOU power up. Send us an email — or, better yet, record yourself on your phone and send the audio file to nerdettepodcast@gmail.com. This project is for all of us, which means it’ll be even better if you weigh in.
