Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where I share
the habits, tools and patterns of world-class performers. This
special short episode features insights from Adam
Robinson (@IAmAdamRobinson). His answers to my questions
were highlighted in my most recent book, Tribe of Mentors.
For those of you not familiar with Adam, he has made a lifelong
study of outflanking and outsmarting the competition. He is a
rated chess master who was awarded a Life Title by the United
States Chess Federation. As a teenager, he was personally
mentored by Bobby Fischer in the 18 months leading up to his
winning the world championship.
Then, in his first career, he developed a revolutionary approach
to taking standardized tests as one of the two original
co-founders of The Princeton Review. His paradigm-breaking — or
“category killing,” as they say in publishing — test-prep book,
The SAT: Cracking the System, is the only test-prep book ever to
have become a New York Times bestseller. After selling his
interest in The Princeton Review, Adam turned his attention in
the early ’90s to the then-emerging field of artificial
intelligence, developing a program that could analyze text and
provide human-like commentary. He was later invited to join a
well-known quant fund to develop statistical trading models, and
since, he has established himself as an independent global macro
advisor to the chief investment officers of a select group of the
world’s most successful hedge funds and family offices.
Adam has also been one of this show's most popular guests, and
you can check out his first appearance here, and his second here.
Enjoy!
