This man contradicted himself every other answer and completely misunderstood that procrastinators are not selfish - rather many beat themselves up for procrastinating and still get the work done at the end of the day

Hi Mel! I love your podcast and Im from Finland. Just wanted to say that I got very anxious about this podcast episode, which has never happened before listening to you. It wasn’t your fault at all but I was a bit dissapointed how it left me feeling. Just wanted to give some feedback. Love you Mel as always.

Mel, I love your practical tips on how to change procrastination and your amazing energy. After watching this podcast on youtube, I admire you even more for keeping a level head and your professionalism in dealing with Dr. Ferrari. He was rude and egotistical in his responses to you, but you kept a cool head and in spite of Dr. Ferrari NOT wanting to offer advice to procrastinators, I still got some good information from you. You are an amazing lady who is helping to improve my life in 2024! 💕😊

You handled and navigated this discussion with grace. This man was so rude.

Really enjoyed this one! I like how you pushed him to explain some things further and didn’t back down. I also enjoyed his no nonsense approach. You both balanced the conversation. 👏

This interview has been bothering me for weeks. I felt confused this guy even made it onto the show, he didn’t seem to understand the purpose of the show or its typical actionable and practical applications. Mel was great to attempt to redirect his ignorance and ego. I’m hopeful the vetting process weeds people like this out in the future to make room for those that can and want to support change.

Yes, I agree. Not impressed with his approach or delivery.

I was really excited to listen to this episode and after procrastinating, I listened today. I’m not an anxious person but this gave me real anxiety. You handled yourself well, Mel, but he was aggressive and argumentative and I had to turn it off. I don’t understand why he didn’t want to give practical tips in addition to the academic research.
