Safi Bahcall (@SafiBahcall) is the author of
Loonshots: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas that Win Wars, Cure
Diseases, and Transform Industries, which debuted #3 on Wall
Street Journal’s bestseller list. Loonshots describes what an
idea from physics tells us about the behavior of groups and how
teams, companies, and nations can use that to innovate faster and
better.
Safi received his PhD in physics from Stanford and his undergrad
degree from Harvard. After working as a consultant for McKinsey,
Safi co-founded a biotechnology company specializing in
developing new drugs for cancer. He led its IPO and served as its
CEO for 13 years. In 2008, Safi was named E&Y New England
Biotechnology Entrepreneur of the Year. In 2011, he worked with
President Obama’s council of science advisors on the future of
national research.
In this episode, we talk about many things we haven’t covered
before, including hypnosis, conquering insomnia, thoughts on
depression, optimizing incentives, and much more. You can also
listen to my first interview with Safi at

elite NYC instructors in your own living room. You can even live

This episode is also brought to you by
LinkedIn Jobs, which offers a smarter system for
the hiring process. If you’ve ever hired anyone (or attempted
to), you know finding the right people can be difficult. If you
don’t have a direct referral from someone you trust, you’re left
to use job boards that don’t offer any real-world networking
approach.
LinkedIn, as the world’s largest professional
network, which is used by more than 70 percent of the US
workforce, has a built-in ecosystem that allows you to not only
search for employees, but also interact with them, their
connections, and their former employers and colleagues in a way
that closely mimics real-life
communication. Visit LinkedIn.com/Tim and
receive a $50 credit toward your first job post!
