“It's nice to be reminded that it's been hard for other
people when they were getting things done that you admired,
because it maybe gives you that extra little bit of determination
or patience to persevere a little more." — Edward Norton
Edward Norton (@EdwardNorton) is one of the most
celebrated actors of his generation. He has been nominated for
three Academy Awards for his performances and has starred in,
produced, written, or directed more than 30 films. His most
recent film, Motherless
Brooklyn, which he wrote, directed,
produced, and stars in, will be released on November 1st.
People mostly know Edward for his acting, but he has a
substantial parallel career as an entrepreneur, investor, and
activist in both technology and environmental sustainability
ventures.
In 2010 Norton co-founded and was chairman of CrowdRise, a
charitable crowdfunding platform which raised more than $500M for
U.S. nonprofit organizations before being acquired by GoFundMe,
the largest social fundraising platform in the world, which
Norton now serves on the board of. He also co-founded EDO, which
applies advanced data science and machine learning to the
analysis of audience engagement signals for the media and
advertising industries. EDO's data and software are used by every
major film studio in their media rotation planning, and virtually
every major television network now includes EDO data alongside
Nielsen data within their pricing metrics.
He is the founding board president of the Maasai Wilderness
Conservation Trust, an award-winning Kenyan conservation and
community development organization, and in 2010 he was appointed
the first United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity.
Edward seems to do it all. In this wide-ranging conversation, we
go deep into his creative process and creative struggles, both
inside and outside of film.
If you'd like more Edward after this episode, you can listen to
my 2016 interview with him at tim.blog/edward. And take my word
for it and go see Motherless Brooklyn in theaters. It's
absolutely outstanding.

SuperFat Nut Butters. These little beauties are
great. I’ve been using them as quick mini-breakfasts and
on-the-go fuel for a few months now. They’re 200–300 calories
each, depending on which ingredient cocktail you eat (MCT,
protein, macadamia, caffeine, etc.); 3–5g of net carbs per pouch;
keto- and Paleo-friendly; and easy to throw in a backpack or
pocket. The first time I tried SuperFat, I
finished the entire box in a few days, so watch your portion
control.
I suggest ordering the Variety Box and you can try all 5
SuperFat flavors in one box, and it has 2
pouches of each flavor. Get 15% off your order by going
