ABOUT US
We’re Colin and Samir, creators based out of Los Angeles California. We make videos about the creator economy, and the lessons we’ve learned over 10 years of being on CZcams. We also interview creators and try to get to the bottom of what’s working on CZcams and where the creator economy is headed.
To see Colin and Samir interview one of the bests in the game - and outside of the typical CZcams circuit - is not only incredible but inspiring. Thanks C&S. Only way is up.
I've been listening to Tim for a long time, thank you guys for interviewing him 👍
Whoa!! I don't think the younger crowd understand how huge of a Icon Tim is.
Thank you for sharing this with us Colin and Samir!
I've been listening to Tim for a long time, thank you guys for interviewing him 👍
U must be an i--ot to not understand the catchiness of "4-hour" headline, the number of billionaires behind "tools" and the rest
“Choose a game you can play for the long term.” - Tim Ferris
Thanks C&S for this episode with Tim.
Knowledge is everywhere, but wisdom is rare. Awesome to hear Tim speak into the creator economy.
Appreciate you! 👊🏼💯
I've been listening to Tim for a long time, thank you guys for interviewing him 👍
That single concept explained why I burned out last year. 3.5 years of CZcams try-hard Mode and enough is enough. Just hit 4 years and I’m making far fewer videos and only those I WANT to make.
Great interview. Amazing insights. I love how he discussed fear-setting and the benefits of imagining worst-case scenario so you can manage your own fears.
"Don't be the best, be the only" really struck a chord with me. The whole interview was excellent. Very happy Tim decided to more social than solo. Thank you all for yet another amazing show!
Years ago I used to work in corporate sales for a very old school company. I didn’t fit into the culture there and in my process of looking for something more fitting to my wants and needs, Tim’s podcast was a warm friend who kept me sane.
Now, working full-time as a content creator, Colin and Samir keep me sane in this space too.
Thanks for the quality guys, this episode rocked!
DARRENNN KEEP UP THE UBER CAR RIDES
I just gotta say - I love that y'all put so many chapters in the videos! Makes it so easy to go back when you can't finish a vid!
If only everyone did this. Especially for long form. I think I leave the video if they don’t have it sometimes 😂
If I’m gonna watch this for this long I want to know very roughly if it’s gonna be worth it.
So ya I’m with you on that.
100% agree. Especially for longer vids like this one.
There’s so much in here even for someone who doesn’t do podcasts. Great interview! Thanks guys!
Idk it was pretty boring as a service based business owner
@user-nj1zu2nf1x I'm a service based business owner too and I'm surprised the word boring came to mind. This was all really interesting
Huge fan of Tim Ferriss. This is amazing seeing you guys get him on as a guest. I've listened to his 17 questions podcast numerous times as it always helps open my mind to my blind spots.
Thank you for this guys, It's so rare to have Tim on the other side of the table. You guys did a great job in the interview. This is something that I will rewatch multiple times.
"We need words to fill this part of the board because when we film interviews it looks too empty and we don't want our subscribers to think that we don't have important things to say that would fill a board." Love it! 🙌
as a podcast producer, the 1 hour mark to the end is absolutely priceless. Thank y’all for leading such a phenomenal conversation
I seriously cannot get enough of your guy's content. I usually listen to the longer interviews while driving and while I am hesitant at first if theres an interview with someone I haven't heard of, I always get such valuable information out of it and get so invested. I'm so glad I found you guys a little while back. Please never stop.
Colin and Samir meeting you guys over this weekend at your creators event was so amazing. Seeing your rise and being able to interview people like Tim Ferriss is so exciting and I’m so happy for you all.
I was there last year when you hit 1 million of that some of that was such an electric special special day. I know you guys have not given up and kept pushing on and pushing on in. You’re such an inspiration to other creators like myself.
It’s people like you that inspired me to walk away from traditional Hollywood to open up my own law, firm representing creators and helping them negotiate their brand deals. I don’t like the fact that creators are out there wing it on their own without any protection and this is the most meaningful work I have done in my entire career as an attorney.
The creators economy will only keep growing, and I am so grateful that I started my channel a year ago. Samir a year ago you told me that if I try to become an attorney that represented Creator is that the niche would be so small. I’m OK with that but I also think that you guys hitting 1 million might indicate that maybe the creators space and creating content for creators is not as niche as it used to be. 🎉🎉
Never heard of a creator vetting their potential ad read with such detailed and thorough process. Learned so much! Thanks guys.
All those finance CZcamsrs need to take notes
I didn't know you guys prior to this podcast with Tim. Thank you so much for getting us to know much more about Tim and the podcasting industry as a whole. I will be coming back after this. Your way of analyzing and asking questions is amazing and really brings the best out of guests.
I watched this over the span of 24 hrs.. I wanted each part to sink in. You guys continue to deliver impeccable public knowledge with the guests you talk to and the conversations you effortlessly create. I feel so happy and touched when the guests compliment you.
Also, I literally laughed out loud when Samir asked Tim's special question towards the end 😂
This conversation is pure gold. Needs to be rewatched every once in a while 👏👏👏👏👏
One of my absolute favourites! I’ve followed Tim’s work for years!
I am reeeeaaaaaallly looking forward to listening to this! Just started. Here we go! 🔥
Tim is such an interesting guest to have on as someone who bridged the gap from traditional to new media and has so much unique experience, couldn't be more psyched to see this unexpected collaboration happen with the MVP's of the creator world!
Such a great episode. I read 4HWW years before I even considered starting my own business. But I can't help but recognise, whether it's through internalised learning or confirmarion bias, that many of the concepts taught in the book directly correlate to my decision making in what I do. Regardless, this podcast was a great reminder of how much I still have to learn. Thank you all 🙏
This is exactly what I was thinking! Read the book years before starting my business. I was so in awe of what the book taught I think it was ingrained in my unconscious.
Tim is so inspiring on the amount of work he does before ever pressing record. Asking "What will make this time the most valuable for you" is something I will be adding to my chat before pressing record from now on!
I’m rewatching it again, because I feel like i missed things by passively missing it the first time. Every minute of this interview is gold!
Thank you so much guys for this episode, Tim's voice is so soothing what an icon. Amazing conversations👏
Couldn’t help myself from smiling ear to ear watching this 🫡 a legend!!!!
What an incredible discussion. Tim is a truly great interviewer. This was a masterclass on so many levels! Amazing, deeply inspiring talk from start to finish. Will absolutely be re-watching. Thanks to C&S team and Tim for making this happen!
This interview is worth it’s weight in gold
This has got to be my favourite Tim Ferris interview. I love how you guys came at it from a different angle and asked him things he’d never discussed. I felt giddy with excitement when he turned the tables back on you guys asking how you approached your own strategy for question asking. Top notch interview guys! Keep it up.
As a podcaster myself, this was a very valuable episode - thank you Tim, Colin and Samir for sharing your knowledge
been watching y'all for a min and I just wanna say you guys are super cool and the amount of value you bring to creators with these interviews awesome, keep killing it!!
LOVED how he asked you about your own interviewing dynamic! Even in an interview about him he manages to make the most interesing questions! Thanks for this, guys.
Love the shoutout to Dr. Sue Johnson! Her interview with Tim changed my life ❤ and his results with that episode should remind male content creators not to sleep on female guests and fans!
As a podcaster myself, THANK YOU for this episode. Huge fan of all of you and I learned sooooo much in this episode. 🙏
Absolutely killer conversation, gentlemen. Long time Tim Ferriss fan and it’s so nice to see him here.
What a valuable conversation. Thank you for doing the good work!
This is the second time I am listening this podcast and I can't make you realize how important this podcast was for me. So much valuable information and insights all for free. Thank you guys ♥️🔥
Well done guys . Fantastic rhythm and proximity. Tim brings me back to the 2000s , he's one of the greatest
Hello to you three fab people
Thankyou for this shared discussion.
Mental Nurse😀 requiring a change in lane after nearly two decades.
You guys here on CZcams and more have REALLY saved my sanity professionally and indeed much more.
Most grateful.
Eyes nearly wide open.
New fresh worldly eyes at that.
💜
Hands down one of my fav interviews of all time. Thank you all 🙏🙌😍
This must be one of your best interview! Thank you so much for that ❤
Iconic interview, thank you!
Such an unexpected collab but the most excited I've ever been to watch a Colin & Samir episode.
Tim freakin' Ferriss, what a legend. Fantastic interview! Great show, guys! Thanks a bunch.
This was absolutely fantastic. Wonderful guest choice, brilliant questions. Appreciate the work you guys are doing.
I got to say, it's been about 6-7 years since I listened to a Tim Ferriss Interview that I enjoyed this much. Thanks so much Colin and Samir!
Halfway through and am just in awe at the conversation here. Thanks to all three of you for this crossover event and incredible content. I think Tim's outlook on advertisers is fascinating.
Great interview guys!! This is the first time I've watched (and quite honestly heard of) you guys. I watched because it was Tim...BUT I'll definitely be adding you guys to the queue going forward. I really love your insight and interesting, unique questioning I haven't heard elsewhere.
Great episode, thank you guys!
Such a valuable conversation. Didn't plan to listen to the whole thing but I made it to the deep end. Big fan of Tim Ferriss!
Been following Tim (Tim Talk Talk) since 2010, he’s pioneered (mainstreaming/influencing ) so many industries. Podcasting, drop shipping, subscription boxes, easy meal prep services, fitness influencers, probably many more. His books (especially 4hchef, my desert island book) and podcast interviews opened me up to so many smart books and creators; he does Not get enough credit imo. Shaped my world view in my 20’s and is a big part of why I’ve finally been accepted into an entrepreneurial program this year. Goal of mine to speak with him one day!
Tim is the best! Love how he has no problem sharing all his industry related secrets! A true wealth of knowledge
This was one of the absolute best! The content and convo was something that I hoped you'd dive into... delivered 100%!
First video I’m seeing of yours- love hearing Tim’s perspective!
epic conversation definitely watching this again. wow
I hope this ep blows up. There are so many great nuggets of info in here. I've been a Tim Ferriss fan since 2015 and now I can safely say I'm a big Colin and Samir fan as well
Great interview, guys, and I especially appreciate seeing you tag team so well while being present, engaging, and asking thoughtful questions. The way I see it, the interview was a home run.
Crazy to think about the reach and impact Tim has had on the world 🙏
This was an incredible interview. So cool to have this for free on youtube. 👍🏻
This has been the most valuable piece of content I've listened to in at least the past month.. thank you so much!!!!
This was a really incredible conversation. Well done y'all!
Excellent conversation guys. I could feel the respect you guys have for Tim throughout the entire episode.
Wow, this was so cool to see and listen to. The 4 Hour Workweek was probably the first book that made me realize I could actually go do something different than working in a 9-5 and I've been a huge fan ever since. While watching this, I scrolled back multiple times because to re-listen to nuggets of wisdom. Thank you for this amazing interview! I feel so energized haha.
Fantastic interview. Tim was much more likable than I've seen him in the past (and I used to his #1 fan)... seems like he's really grounded right now, which I like. You guys did a phenomenal job.
Fantastic job. Loved the entire interview
Superb interview. Tim Ferriss is one of the best interviewers in the game, and it’s fascinating to see him sit down on the other side of the table.
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve seen and heard in a long time. Extremely informative for a podcaster working on episode number 19 and very entertaining. Tim is in a class all his own
I am so happy you interviewed Tim Ferriss. I think he's incredible! Great interview!
I love Tim ~ such a brilliant dude! Learned tons from him over the years💫
Honestly was not expecting how in depth Tim would be going into vetting advertisers and guests.
Insanely detailed pod!
Great work, C&S!
I'm watching this for the second time around. I also collect quality questions for both self-reflection & to upgrade my conversation skill-sets.
My favorite part of this Podcast is just knowing that we (the audience) were learning just as much as Colin and Samir. Such a good episode
I'm a marketing guy for DJs who's now 136 subscribers into my CZcams journey and has had a newsletter for two years. I've just watched this in two parts and I've taken away a lot from just my own enjoyment. Next time I listen to this is with a sharper and a few pieces of paper to make some notes. Great work guys.
I'm a HUGE fan of both of these interviewers! It was really intriguing to see them both sort of impressed in their own way by each others style of interviewing. Great episode!
I've been listening to Tim for a long time, thank you guys for interviewing him 👍
Thank you for having interviewed Tim here, I also appreciated you guys having mentioned this episode in advance before it got published, it felt worth trying to go over for me I feel, Raza :)
Great interview! I love the question about battling the Tim Ferris persona!
Amazing! Thanks guys!
bravo!
This was incredible.
WHAT?! SUCH a universe crossover. I'm ready for a full listen (you got a 100% retainment viewer here). Great initiative guys, thank you :)
Great questions that brought out questions and a point of view that i have yet to see from Tim. Loved it
Absolutely love when wise minds come together ❤
Thanks Colin & Samir
Wow.. i didn’t expect this at all! Thanks:)
Super Useful and Inspiring conversation. So many gems.
Good stuff guys, listened to Tim a ton in my 20's as well, really really interesting watching things come full circle watching guys like you interview him
Really cool to see these two worlds collide. Fun to hear Tim Ferriss on the other side of the interview.
huge fan of Tim Ferris, so this was a really enjoyable watch and listen. Remember reading his book 4 hour work week way back too and subscribing to his newsletter. Loved the insight he provided into his interview format for the podcasts. You guys killed it on the interview and just liked the vibe of the whole thing.
Love to see it ❤
This is so affirming to listen to! When I was starting my channel, I originally thought I would need to video all of my piano accompaniments, and I tried to make one video like that and realized that it will take me forever to edit each one and there's just so much pressure with video, and it's not necessary for what I want to get across. Letting go of that notion and just doing what I'm comfortable with and will Actually do on a regular basis was a game changer!
Also just found this channel through Caroline Winkler's channel and loving this amazing content!
Thanks for bringing Tim! He's books are awesome and as a creator he is one of the bests 👍
This interview will change a lot of things I do. As well as start several things I’ve put off. Thanks!
Epic. Tim Ferris is the reason I found and went to an off-the-grid healing retreat for 6-weeks. He briefly mentioned it in an episode that he went and experienced this, I looked it up and I, myself went. It changed my life.
Just wanted to say the audio and visual quality of the last few videos have been incredible 🤩
Listened on the pod, came back to watch the video
Solid again, guys! Thank you.
I hesitate to click & listen and then it turns out to be one of your best. Thanks
This was very beautiful to listen to 🎉... Nice one guys
This was a crazy dive into podcasting with some next level interviewing (on both sides). Youve gained a new follower gents looking forward to more!
Thank you for the FREE (!!!!) Masterclass. Unbelievable. Very grateful. Tim, you're a special human.
This was a great interview guys. Tons of value.
Omg I watched to the end……………….. loved this episode!
