#710: Super Combo: Jamie Foxx and Maria Popova

Brought to you by LinkedIn
Ads marketing platform with 1B+
users; Cometeer delicious
hyper-fresh, flash-frozen
coffee; and Shopify global
commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and
manage a retail business.


Welcome to The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to
deconstruct world-class performers to tease out their routines,
habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life. 


This time around, we have a very special edition with two
hit interviews from the podcast’s back catalog. It
features two incredible guests: Jamie Foxx and Maria
Popova. 


My goal is to introduce people to interviews they might have
missed over the years and encourage them to enjoy household names
but also sample lesser-known people I consider stars. You can
think of this format as my personal, curated selection of the
best of the last 10 years, or at least some of my
favorites. 


Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx) is an Academy
Award-winning actor, a Grammy Award-winning musician, and a
standup and improv comedian. He is one of the most consummate
performers and entertainers that I have ever met. This
conversation was voted Podcast of the Year in 2015.


Maria Popova (@brainpicker) is the creator of
The Marginalian (long ago named Brain Pickings), which is
included in the Library of Congress’ permanent web archive of
culturally valuable materials. The Marginalian is Maria’s
one-woman labor of love—an inquiry into how to live and what it
means to lead a good life. From Mark Twain to Oscar Wilde and
everyone in between, Maria finds the hidden gems. She is prolific
and consistent—The Marginalian was created on October 23, 2006,
and it has been running strong for 17+ years.
