If you’re interested in the creative process of a famed author,
jumpstarting your own creation, note taking, list making, or
simply handling hard emotions, this episode is for
you. Recorded in front of a 2,000-plus person crowd at SXSW
in Austin, Texas, this one was a blast. My guest is Cheryl
Strayed (@CherylStrayed), author of the #1 New York Times
bestselling memoir Wild, the New York Times bestsellers Tiny
Beautiful Things and Brave Enough, and the novel Torch. Her books
have been translated into forty languages around the world. Wild
was chosen by Oprah Winfrey as her inaugural selection for
Oprah's Book Club 2.0 and was made into an Oscar-nominated film
starring Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern. Strayed's essays have
been published in The Best American Essays, The New York Times,
The Washington Post Magazine, Vogue, Salon, The Sun, Tin House,
and elsewhere. Strayed is the co-host, along with Steve Almond,
of the WBUR podcast Dear Sugar Radio, which originated with her
popular Dear Sugar advice column. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
Enjoy! Show notes and links for this episode can be found at
www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to you
by iD Commerce + Logistics. I'm asked all the time about how to
scale businesses quickly. Rule number one: remove unnecessary
bottlenecks. Many businesses can do so by outsourcing inventory
management and fulfillment to a company that makes this its
primary focus. iD Commerce + Logistics is just such a company. It
helps online retailers and entrepreneurs outgrow their
competition by handling all types of details -- from inventory to
packing and shipping. I depended on iD to handle these types of
details when I launched The 4-Hour Chef so I could focus on
promoting the book. As a listener of this podcast, you can get up
to $10,000 off your start-up fees and costs waived by visiting
tim.blog/scale or idcomlog.com/tim. This podcast is also brought
to you by MeUndies. I’ve spent the last year wearing
underwear from these guys 24/7, and they are the most comfortable
and colorful underwear I’ve ever owned. MeUndies are designed in
LA and made from sustainably-sourced MicroModal—a fabric 3 times
softer than cotton. Even better, it includes free shipping. If
you don’t love your first pair of MeUndies, they’ll hook you up
with a new pair or a refund. If you love the product, they have a
subscription offer where you can save up to 33% after your first
pair. Check out MeUndies.com/Tim to see my current faves (some
are awesomely ridiculous, like the camo). That’s
Meundies.com/Tim.
