RE; Tim Ferris im stealing that "well id like to bounce that question back to you" and Chris when you were "forced" to respond to your own question I think your responses are an indication of how well you are doing as a podcaster. For example each time you were asked to answer your own question you revealed the depth of interest you had behind the question in other words it showed you truly had an interest in the discussion and that you weren't just " filling a role" which I think is the reason your podcasts have always stuck out for me. Incredible listen! Ive been waiting for this one!
Hey Chris! Would you pretty please let your friend Timothy know that I am trying to ask him on a date 🫶 not sure if he gave me the wrong number or if I got trolled but I’ve been on survivor twice and so I thrive in a challenge 😄 if you want to come to a midsummers fest in Stockholm you both would be more than welcome 🌼

Hi @timferriss i have a cabin in the Norwegian mountains, no electricity just the presence of nature. If you’d be interested in a 10min zoom date and we click, we could go on a hike and ski date when you feel like traveling.
I think a lot of people relate to this or nearly this (maybe not first but one of the first and maybe not #1 but too 5-10/etc). Epic meeting of minds❤️
I haven’t listened to Tim much lately so this has been a reminder of how much insight he always brings. And it feels like catching up with an old friend.
It’s a good point, probably very true too. But I wonder how he would respond for an extremely high demand role. Where securing time like this is highly unlikely. Explains why we as an organisation are very unproductive tho
mainstream advice on discipline is often overhyped. The best investment you can make is in yourself. Bruce Thornwood's "Unveiling Your Hidden Potential" helped me develop discipline and set my mindset apart from the rest
This man’s book changed my life. The 4-hour work week inspired me to travel and live outside of my home in Canada and 4 years later I’m still living that life
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 be making at least $1000 USD / month online before starting to live the nomadic life. The book itself and websites/practical advice i would say is a little outdated but the principles inside still apply. If I would do it again, maybe I would have gone to Thailand or Vietnam, somewhere cheaper than Colombia/Ecuador which is where I started this journey
As a 25yo with 4 children and the oldest is 5. The only answer for "but they're jumping on my solar plexus at 6am!" Is simply wake up earlier... He's right! Its the most annoying thing! But it's MUCH EASIER to change yourself and your habits than ANYONE ELSES - Even your kids. ❤️
The 4-hour body and workweek when they were released changed the course of my life to a healthy, entrepreneurial, and adventurous journey .... forever grateful to Tim and will always be a big fan!
It must feel incredible to have Tim Ferriss tell you that he's inspired watching You execute at such a high level. Just take that clip and play it back next time you're feeling a spell of melancholy.
I started to reread the 4 hour work week several months ago and I couldn't believe how much that book impacted my life. I was living the majority of it. Tim is one of the all time great infkuencers at what he does. I'm on country 40 now and am grateful for whatever level of freedom I have
"It makes me sad to think that somebody can have the capacity to do great things, and then not do the interpersonal thing to pay that forward" Chris Williamson. For some of us, (myself included) interpersonal work wasn't taught and we think we have the everything under control, but it's what we don't know, that we don't know, that often does the most damage. Thank you to both Chris and Tim for doing what you do and encouraging more people to truly look inward.
Chris every time you ask a guest "what would you say to someone who......" I find that this directly ties to myself. You know your audience, don't stop asking these things. Cheers mate.
The podcasting game is evolving but we often forget that communication is the ultimate technology. Chris combines both (not easy). Happy to see Chris & Tim sharing a table.
@@brianmeen2158 good question. And who knows? But certainly, humanity needs more conversations like this. Is podcasting the best format? Dunno but it is now. Perhaps it will mold in a slightly different format in the future.
This is immediately up there with the best of your podcasts Chris. There was felt respect between both of you that allowed for what presented as a real open and honest conversation.
Tim's insights on effectiveness versus efficiency are spot on! 🎯 Choosing the right tasks and having a clear definition of success are essential for long-term progress and fulfillment in both personal and professional endeavors.
I'm 16 currently watching this episode, I have big dreams of being on the Modern Wisdom podcast one day even if its just one episode. Chris's conversations with his guess are so inspirational and extremely interesting to listen to. Without a doubt Modern Wisdom is my favorite podcast. Thank you so much to your team and your guests for providing so much value in a world dominated by shortform content and low attention spans, I hope you keep producing them for a long time to come.
Tim is honestly one of the best dudes out there you can learn from. And if you do, your life will likely improve from the same day. Not for everyone. Thanks Tim for all you do.
Crazy to watch the guy I grew up listening to in Tim Ferris and learning incredible amounts to now being a bit older and loving Chris's new content. These podcasts make me so much happier and more successful. I attribute becoming an entrepreneur to Tim and being a better human because of Chris. So much gratitude for these guys. 🙏💪
I have been a fan of Tim Ferriss since 2012. This episode was just so informative, fun and generally wholesome. Your production value and your continuous personal improvement as a podcaster, really shows. Well done, Chris. From a random stranger on the internet, well done. Your content matters.
Tim's book, the 4 hour chef is the most incredible book you will ever read in the knowledge worker industry. I wish I had read it before I went to college. I don't cook, so I literally didn't even read half of the book, but the other half is shocking how much you can apply to learning new skills, how to learn new skills, interviews with people who can learn a new language in a month, the best techniques for learning a new language in a month, developing a superhuman memory, interviews with people who developed a superhuman memory, how you yourself can develop a superhuman memory, the food you can eat to help your body reach superhuman memory, and the tools and techniques that a chessmaster uses that you can use in your life, to achieve goals or make your life easier. Then to mix up the seemingly boring topics, Tim does an experiment to see if he can drink a gallon of ice cream, and the tools he uses to make it (almost) all the way through the challenge. This book is a guide to become a chef, its directions how to be smarter than AI, and its entertaining.
This is simply gorgeous. The aesthetic satisfaction the show now has on top of the quality of conversation is simply astonishing. Cheers to you and your team.
The #1 book on my list that changed my life is Steps to Knowledge, The Book of Inner Knowing. I gotta recommend this one far and wide. The author even made it available online at no cost, imagine that.
49:56 the best point. Admiration means you see something in them that you yourself don’t have, but have learned to value. For instance, his EQ comment regarding strength/weaknesses. He admires that only because he is able to consciously VALUE it. Which is why complimentary vs. seemingly identical personalities is better .
Hi @timferriss i have a cabin in the Norwegian mountains, no electricity just the presence of nature. If you’d be interested in a 10min zoom date and we click, we could go on a hike and ski date when you feel like traveling.
Genuinely, through happenstance, Tim is genuinely one of the biggest role models I have come across, for me. At first I avoided him.... Now I know why I did. The more I study him, the more I shed all the bullshit I don't need. I relate to many of his epiphanies and have adopted so many of his tools. Thankyou Tim for continuing to give so genuinely and changing my life for the better
This is best podcast of all time easily, very good job! Also the new backrounds are amazing, so much more fun and liveable experience to watch and it feels like you are in the room. Can you or anyone else recommend some other similiar podcasts? With similiar topics and type of quests?
I would suggest Huberman's podcast with David Goggins as guest. And Rogan's podcast with Naval Ravikant as guest. Theo Von with Tony Robbins. Brene Brown with Lisa Lahey.
Chris, I’m glad you do the ad unique each time. Helps with the flow, and piggybacking on the interview content- it gives you the reps to get better at selling well and I’m sure it helps get more ads. Just a rouge thought
I can't help insights which resonates with me every minute of this podcast both from Tim & Chris. I hate that I had to pause every now & then to make notes. And when I follow the threads like "Perils of Audience Capture", "11 reasons not to become famous", it can easily take a week to complete the podcast. Enjoying this so fucking much🔥
I find it peculiar that a interview such as this doesn’t get nowhere near as many views as your videos touching on depression, male loneliness and other negative emotions. It’s as if we are not only drawn to depression but tend to bask in its ambience without actually doing anything to get out of it, much like when you talk about your goals that can suffice and you never actually take steps to get there. Something like this interview has way more information to actually move forward with your life practically in my eyes. I have actively stopped watching all of the interviews & shorts that for me personally glamourise male loneliness, depression and nihlism and it’s hard as they gave me an identity to adopt. I have tilted my gaze towards entrepreneur interviews and more positive podcasts in hope that will reorientate my way of thinking.
Amazing interview. Chris: it would be really cool if you wrote a book compiling all the best things you've learned from your guests. Condescending all the most useful lessons from your podcast into a concise book would create an invaluable resource.
Was happy to hear Chris take stock when Tim said, "Before I try to add more fuel to the fire…if I telescope out 6 months, 12 months from now, and I’ve done this, how will the composition of my audience have changed? Who will I have repelled, who will I have attracted?” Carrying that guideline will serve him well.
Constructive Criticism: Give the special episodes a special thumbnail. Hard to find these gems in between. Besides that just thank you. For everything.
This is an incredible podcast for anyone looking to optimize their own life and begin to perform to the levels excepted from yourself. Massive thank you Tim & Chris
This was one the best interviews I’ve ever listened to. Thank you for the deep thought and energy put into each discussion point, this quality of content is hard to find!! As a father of two girls under 4 years old and a husband the discussions on importance of family relationships and self care prioritization really hit home and validated a lot of the imbalance I constantly feel. Now I will put it in the calendar and stop postponing myself and my family.
Tim has been asking each of his guest for recommendations all this time - and no one asked him! Finally his chance. I also appreciate each of their candour when discussing struggles with anxiety and mental health. Notable app recommendations: Chris: Alfred Push to Kindle Chrome Tim: Evernote Asana Apple Notes Readwise Reveri Comment if I missed any.
This was a fantastic episode. I love how Tim put up guard rails around things like psychedelic usage etc. Although I suggest there’s a lot of research that contradicts your views on ketamine treatments. That being said, I do agree that all ketamine treatments should be other form of infusion inside a clinic with a psychotherapist involved. At our micro hospital in Austin we used quite often to also assist with non narcotic detox protocols. It was a game changer. I did a loading phase of 6 infusions in 2 weeks and 1 per month for 3 months after. Saved my life from depersonalization disorder.
Focus on effectiveness over efficiency. Ask yourself how you can succeed even if you fail. View projects as experiments. Choose projects that will develop your skills and relationships. Be willing to make trade-offs. Focus on consistency over perfection. Don't be afraid to quit. Use curation to avoid decision fatigue. Take mini-retirements. Reflect on your goals.
1:30:05 Per hyper vigilance. "there is an art to letting small bed things happen, to practice letting small bad things happen" That sentence made me feel sick, I had an actual fear response to the idea of trying that. I guess it is time to work on my hyper vigilance problem.
I've found an interesting place where the talk about hypervigilance lands for me. I've been trying to improve in a competitive videogame that I've played for about 7 years now, and too much hypervigilance was destroying my mental. What Chris said about focusing on how you feel during the activity versus the outcome is very important, if you only focus on winning then you start to lose. Conversely, if you focus on having fun, finding humor in your mistakes, and being a team player, everything starts to come together. I just play better when I do all the other habits related to health and wellness, who would have guessed
there was like 30% new information and the rest was like repeated over and over in interviews with Tim, I don't know Chris's work, but I would have expected questions that were not asked so often to Tim... still a great interview to remind much of Tims' thinking
Tim touches on where, I believe, the super-power of most individuals comes from...it's in the combination of skills one combines and brings to bare on any situation. Essentially creating your own category to compete in by leveraging the mix of skills you've amassed on new problems. Be the best in your category of 1. Choose your mix of skills appropriately and you'll never be at a loss for interesting opportunities. My mix is in personal finance, with a bent on quantitative techniques, technology and being able to see how to get to the next big thing. Most FinTech is heavy on tech, but I bring the two together rather uniquely. Best to all and thanks again for this great pod.

I think a lot of people relate to this or nearly this (maybe not first but one of the first and maybe not #1 but too 5-10/etc). Epic meeting of minds❤️
I haven’t listened to Tim much lately so this has been a reminder of how much insight he always brings. And it feels like catching up with an old friend.
I love what he said "if you can single-task for 2-3 hours a day, focusing on the highest leverage tasks, you'll be ahead of 99% of the population. "
Great quote!
It’s a good point, probably very true too. But I wonder how he would respond for an extremely high demand role. Where securing time like this is highly unlikely. Explains why we as an organisation are very unproductive tho

This conversation feels like two brothers catching up after a year apart- intimate, insightful, and as close as ever.
I find it highly suspect that such a mediocre interviewer could amass 2 million subscribers. Something very odd here.
Having such content available for free is one of the major perks of the time we live in.

Which book
Tim Ferriss and 3h? Chris, you're a hero!
Fantastic conversation. A key takeaway from this is that the whole 'Optimisation Project' is finally reaching a dead end. Thank goodness.
I’m so glad someone finely interviewed Tim in the Ferris style

And when I follow the threads like "Perils of Audience Capture", "11 reasons not to become famous", it can easily take a week to complete the podcast. Enjoying this so fucking much🔥
Dude, lovely production! :) And also a long overdue interview with the original.. much appreciated!
That prefrontal cortex game is strong with this one. How do I get a forehead like that?
Lmao
Ok, now I understand the screens, post production, the works. This looks/sounds awesome!
Two of you could the greatest duo in the podcast world
Literally, my two top favorite podcasters! 🙌
I'm grateful that Tim exists, thank you Tim Ferris for sharing good in a strange planet
I find it peculiar that a interview such as this doesn’t get nowhere near as many views as your videos touching on depression, male loneliness and other negative emotions. It’s as if we are not only drawn to depression but tend to bask in its ambience without actually doing anything to get out of it, much like when you talk about your goals that can suffice and you never actually take steps to get there. Something like this interview has way more information to actually move forward with your life practically in my eyes.
I have actively stopped watching all of the interviews & shorts that for me personally glamourise male loneliness, depression and nihlism and it’s hard as they gave me an identity to adopt. I have tilted my gaze towards entrepreneur interviews and more positive podcasts in hope that will reorientate my way of thinking.
Chris's response to name of the wind is spot on, unbelievable book
Loved this podcast by Tim Williamson!
THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH TIM YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE OF ALL TIME EASILY I LOVE YOU DEARLY YOUVE CHANGED MY LIFE THANK YOU LOVE CHRIS
Tim never fails to deliver. Always excited to hear him on podcasts.
My two absolute favourite conversationalists in one frame together! Life couldn’t get better ❤
and they are also single ;)
@@meetpetru lol but how to meet them??
Amazing interview. Chris: it would be really cool if you wrote a book compiling all the best things you've learned from your guests. Condescending all the most useful lessons from your podcast into a concise book would create an invaluable resource.
Chris, second half of this was exceptional. Great questions. Great pacing. One of your best. Great stuff 🙏🏾
Was happy to hear Chris take stock when Tim said, "Before I try to add more fuel to the fire…if I telescope out 6 months, 12 months from now, and I’ve done this, how will the composition of my audience have changed? Who will I have repelled, who will I have attracted?” Carrying that guideline will serve him well.
Constructive Criticism:
Give the special episodes a special thumbnail. Hard to find these gems in between.
Besides that just thank you. For everything.
This is an incredible podcast for anyone looking to optimize their own life and begin to perform to the levels excepted from yourself.
Massive thank you Tim & Chris
min 2:33:00 filling the void part, is very insightful ❤
Video wall is so epic, Chris is a genius.
Tim Ferris, I matched with you on a dating app back in 2014. For some reason you sound like a difficult person to date, but I love your content.
No way! I wonder how your lives would have turned out had you got into a relationship
He was too short for you
difficult in what way
My main takeaway from this is that Tim is in fact a human being like the rest of us
Love that he Ferris gives credit to where he got some of his ideas.
This was one the best interviews I’ve ever listened to. Thank you for the deep thought and energy put into each discussion point, this quality of content is hard to find!!
As a father of two girls under 4 years old and a husband the discussions on importance of family relationships and self care prioritization really hit home and validated a lot of the imbalance I constantly feel. Now I will put it in the calendar and stop postponing myself and my family.
I love the way the studio looks.💯💯. Great Studio + Great Conversation= Dope + Life Changing Transformation. I love the conversation
Tim has been asking each of his guest for recommendations all this time - and no one asked him! Finally his chance.
I also appreciate each of their candour when discussing struggles with anxiety and mental health.

My life is better because of Tim Ferris. Thanks for this Chris!
P.S. Love the cinematic (slightly artificial) flair.
Absolutely love this podcast! Great interview!
Brilliant! I wish more podcast hosts asked their guests the book and « the thing » question
I knew I'd love this conversation
Official weigh-in. Watched the behind the scenes as well. Video wall rocks, makes an epic conversation even more awe-inspiring. Well done crew!
This was a fantastic episode. I love how Tim put up guard rails around things like psychedelic usage etc. Although I suggest there’s a lot of research that contradicts your views on ketamine treatments. That being said, I do agree that all ketamine treatments should be other form of infusion inside a clinic with a psychotherapist involved. At our micro hospital in Austin we used quite often to also assist with non narcotic detox protocols. It was a game changer. I did a loading phase of 6 infusions in 2 weeks and 1 per month for 3 months after. Saved my life from depersonalization disorder.
How is it possible to have a 3hr conversation and do nothing more than share sound bites and cliches - Genius level
@@timoneill6931 Harsh! There are some good little nuggets of wisdom in there.
@@timoneill6931Hater. Unsuccessful hater at that
That’s literally his entire podcast
Just a couple of guys being bros (with advice sprinkled in). Love to see it
Focus on effectiveness over efficiency.
Ask yourself how you can succeed even if you fail.
View projects as experiments.
Choose projects that will develop your skills and relationships.
Be willing to make trade-offs.
Focus on consistency over perfection.
Don't be afraid to quit.
Use curation to avoid decision fatigue.
Take mini-retirements.
Reflect on your goals.
1:30:05 Per hyper vigilance.
"there is an art to letting small bed things happen, to practice letting small bad things happen"
That sentence made me feel sick, I had an actual fear response to the idea of trying that. I guess it is time to work on my hyper vigilance problem.
47:39 That is correct 😂😂 my head swiveled around so quick. 😂 The ladies love Chris.
Love the background. Makes want to watch, not just listen. Good upgrade👍
The heat exhaustion specimens put on fatigues hahaha...
"At 6:00 a.m. my 5 year old is jumping on my solar plexus" said no one ever, but....
Hi Tim, thanks forbthe company🙏🏼
It rained a bit, for 10 min👍🏼 have a nice day🍀🌸
Such eloquence from both, I can only admire their journey and strive to do better on my own!
I've found an interesting place where the talk about hypervigilance lands for me. I've been trying to improve in a competitive videogame that I've played for about 7 years now, and too much hypervigilance was destroying my mental.
What Chris said about focusing on how you feel during the activity versus the outcome is very important, if you only focus on winning then you start to lose. Conversely, if you focus on having fun, finding humor in your mistakes, and being a team player, everything starts to come together.
I just play better when I do all the other habits related to health and wellness, who would have guessed
Great talk. I enjoyed these two smart people exchange ideas and interact.
there was like 30% new information and the rest was like repeated over and over in interviews with Tim, I don't know Chris's work, but I would have expected questions that were not asked so often to Tim... still a great interview to remind much of Tims' thinking
2 and a half hours in, what a conversation. Can't wait to have you both on my show
It is hard to ignore the bobbsey twin vibe, but what a great talk - love these two!
True, the Fall of Civilizations podcast was my go to sleep podcast for years
Tim touches on where, I believe, the super-power of most individuals comes from...it's in the combination of skills one combines and brings to bare on any situation. Essentially creating your own category to compete in by leveraging the mix of skills you've amassed on new problems. Be the best in your category of 1. Choose your mix of skills appropriately and you'll never be at a loss for interesting opportunities.
My mix is in personal finance, with a bent on quantitative techniques, technology and being able to see how to get to the next big thing. Most FinTech is heavy on tech, but I bring the two together rather uniquely.
Best to all and thanks again for this great pod.
