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


This episode is something different. It’s an experimental format
that I’m super excited about, and it’s back by popular demand.


This is an episode that scratches an itch I’ve had for years. I
am not always able to listen to every great podcast episode out
there, even when they are by some of my closest friends. The
answer to my predicament was to ask them to send me a top segment
from their podcast that I could listen to and—more
importantly—also share with you, my dear listeners. 


My team edited them together, and here we are! This episode is a
compilation of 15-to-30-minute clips from some of the best
podcasters — and also best interviewees – in the world and
certainly some of my favorites.


At the beginning of each clip, you will hear an intro from the
host and where to find their work and podcast. At the end, I’ll
also share one or two of my favorite clips from episodes of The
Tim Ferriss Show.


You can view this episode as a buffet, and I strongly suggest
that you check out the shows included. If you like my podcast,
you will very likely enjoy the featured shows in this episode.


And before you go: Do you like this format? Please let me know on
Twitter at @tferriss and also mention @TeamTimFerriss.


Please enjoy!

This episode is also brought to you
by Athletic
Greens. I get asked all the time,
“If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My
answer is usually AG1 by Athletic Greens, my
all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The
4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my
best with nutrient-dense meals, of course,
but AG further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals,
and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and
the immune system. 


Right now, Athletic
Greens is offering you their Vitamin D
Liquid Formula free with your first subscription
purchase—a vital nutrient for a strong immune system and
strong
bones. Visit AthleticGreens.com/Tim to
claim this special offer today and receive the free Vitamin D
Liquid Formula (and five free travel packs) with your first
subscription purchase! That’s up to a one-year
supply of Vitamin D as added value when you try their delicious
and comprehensive all-in-one daily greens product.

This episode is also brought to you
by Allform! If
you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while, you’ve probably
heard me talk about Helix Sleep mattresses, which I’ve been using
since 2017. They also launched a company
called Allform that
makes premium, customizable sofas and chairs shipped
right to your door—at a fraction of the cost of traditional
stores. You can pick your fabric (and they’re all spill,
stain, and scratch resistant), the sofa color, the color of the
legs, and the sofa size and shape to make sure it’s perfect for
you and your home.


Allform arrives in just 3–7 days, and you
can assemble it yourself in a few minutes—no tools
needed. To find your perfect sofa and receive 20%
off all orders, check out
