#140: Tim Ferriss
from The Duncan Trussell Family Hour on January 29, 2015
Episode summary from Pots:
Two of my favorite podcast dudes of the past few years, finally on a show together. Duncan interviews Tim Ferriss, who is a lifestyle author (4 Hour Body, 4 Hour Work Week, etc) who has also found recent success in angel investing and running his own podcast (The Tim Ferriss Show, which is one of my favorites of 2014). One might think Tim and Duncan have radically different viewpoints on approaching mastery, but the conversation unfolds beautifully and two are able to relate in many unexpected ways. Topics: writing, routine, general body hacking, Tim's experience with psychadelics, yoga, and 'woo-woo' (for better and worse), Ganesh and plenty of Buddhism.
Episode highlights:
- 0:00 – Intro and ad reads (too long, skip it)
- 24:12 – Interview starts. From here on, good stuff -- but if strapped for time, skip to to the timestamp below.
- 1:26:14 – The 20 minute stretch starting here is gold, for my money. This is where the Venn diagram of what I love about both these guys overlaps. General talk about the value (or lack thereof) found in symbols; tapping into wells of motivation; etc. Absolutely loved it.
