Today’s Productivity Stack: Tony Jefferson 

This week's Productivity Stack comes from Tony Jefferson.

Our interviews work a little differently than our case studies! In them, small business owners, freelancers, and founders tell us how they started their business and grew it and how they managed their time (and everything else) along the way!

While still working for the Air Force stationed overseas, Tony Jefferson started a side project that combined his passion for travel and some of his professional knowledge in the IT space. At the start, he didn’t have a fully formed idea of where this project was headed, but he experimented and tested until finally coming up with the TravelingSession.com platform as it is today.

In this interview article, he shares his transition to business and the challenges he overcame creating something that is the first of its kind in the market. He also talks about the people, tools, books, and other resources that have helped him along the way. Check out his top three tips for aspiring entrepreneurs, as well as his insights on time management and handling burnout.
