This week Dr. Ken Elpus joins the show to talk about productivity apps and utilities that he uses to get his busy and multifaceted job done.

He is an absolute power user when it comes to leveraging his computer in amazing ways to better do his job!
Note: Around the 49 minute mark, Ken’s voice gets weird. Sorry.
