themikevardy / themikevardy

I’m a writer, comedian and productivity pundit (of sorts) based out of beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I have the most amazing wife I could ask for, along with two equally amazing children.

I make my living working from home writing, editing and stay-at-home fathering. You can find much of my work at the productivity parody site, Eventualism. I am also the editor of WorkAwesome, a productivity and work/life balance blog and have contributed guest articles to several blogs in the sphere.

In the podcasting realm, I host the WorkAwesome podcast and co-host Dyscultured — a weekly podcast with Anthony Marco, Andrew Currie and Shane Birley that that discusses (and dissects) technology and pop culture with a distinctively Canadian flavour.

Offline, I’ve written for CBC Radio’s Definitely Not The Opera and co-founded the sketch comedy troupe The 30 Cent Players. during the troupe’s run, I wrote, directed and performed in many sketches as we made appearances at festivals in Calgary, Washington DC and San Francisco, where we opened for Kids In The Hall’s Bruce McCulloch. In addition, we performed regularly in Victoria and made occasional trips to Vancouver and Seattle to show off our comedic stylings.

There is one person in themikevardy’s collective.

  2. MacTalk Podcast at Webstock 2011 - Merlin Mann

    Webstock 2011 opened with an excellent workshop by the inimitable Merlin Mann, entitled: What’s (Maybe, Kinda, Sorta) Next for You? Steps Toward Futureproofing Your Passion.

    Merlin was kind enough to sit down with me after his presentation to chat about his many podcasts, Getting Things Done, Productivity MacGuffins, insanely good Mac software and Paul Hogan.

    I apologise for the rambling nature of this podcast. I was incredibly star struck by Merlin and his generosity of time and spirit caught me a little off guard. But it’s a wonderful experience to meet one of your idols and find out they’re as good a person as you’ve always hoped they’d be.
