Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it
is my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out the
routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life.
You’ll get plenty of that in this special episode, which
features my interview with Bill
Burr from my 2017 TV Show Fear{less}. The
“less” is in parentheses because the objective is to teach you to
fear less, not to be fearless.
Fear{less} features in-depth, long-form conversations with
top performers, focusing on how they’ve overcome fears and made
hard decisions, embracing discomfort and thinking big.
It was produced by Wild West Productions, and I worked with them
to make both the video and audio available to you for free, my
dear listeners. You can find the video of this
episode on YouTube.com/TimFerriss, and eventually
you’ll be able to see all episodes for free
at YouTube.com/TimFerriss.
Spearheaded by actor/producer and past podcast guest Vince
Vaughn, Wild West Productions has produced a string of
hit movies including The Internship, Couples
Retreat, Four Christmases, and The Break-Up.
In 2020, Wild West produced the comedy The Opening Act,
starring Jimmy O. Yang and Cedric The Entertainer. In addition
to Fear{less}, their television credits
include Undeniable with Joe Buck, ESPN’s 30 for
30 episode about the ’85 Bears, and the Netflix
animated show F is for Family.
Please enjoy!
