#546: Master Magician David Blaine — Fear{less} with Tim Ferriss

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 David Blaine 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!
