#766: The Random Show — Lessons from Tim’s Sabbatical, Alzheimer's Breakthroughs, Kevin Tries a Medium, Fitness Tools and Protocols, Book Recommendations, and More

This time, we have a very special episode I recorded with my
close friend Kevin Rose in person at his house.
We trade our latest discoveries, and I think it’s one of our
best. Tons of actionable takeaways and laughing fits. We cover
dozens of topics: new projects, what I’ve done on my recent
sabbatical after the podcast’s 10th anniversary, Kevin’s latest
findings and shenanigans, real vampire protocols, and much, much
more.
