A.J. Jacobs (@ajjacobs) is a kindred guinea pig of
self-experimentation who chronicles his shenanigans in books that
seem to keep winding up as New York Times best sellers. The
Know-It-All was about his quest to learn everything in the world.
In The Year of Living Biblically, he tried to follow all the
rules of the Bible as literally as possible. Drop Dead Healthy
followed his well- (and ill-) advised experiments to become the
healthiest person alive. My Life as an Experiment is about
exactly what it sounds like, and It's All Relative -- which will
be out in 2017 -- will aim to connect all of humanity in one
family tree. A.J. is also the host of the new podcast Twice
Removed, which takes a celebrity guest and introduces them to a
surprise cousin they didn't know they had. It could be one of
their heroes, an old friend, a teacher, etc. In this episode, we
talk about: What A.J.'s learned from his experiments His creative
process His writing process Tipping points in his life How he
learned to love marketing And much, much more. I think you'll
have a blast with this one -- I know I did. Please enjoy! Show

by Wealthfront. Wealthfront is a massively disruptive (in a good
way) set-it-and-forget-it investing service, led by technologists
from places like Apple and world-famous investors. It has
exploded in popularity in the last 2 years and now has more than
$2.5B under management. In fact, some of my good investor friends
in Silicon Valley have millions of their own money in
Wealthfront. Why? Because you can get services previously limited
to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on the dollar for them,
and it's all through smarter software instead of retail locations
and bloated sales teams. Check out wealthfront.com/tim, take
their risk assessment quiz, which only takes 2-5 minutes, and
they'll show you for free exactly the portfolio they'd put you
in. If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you
can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well worth a
few minutes: wealthfront.com/tim. This podcast is also brought to
you by 99Designs, the world's largest marketplace of graphic
designers. I have used them for years to create some amazing
designs. When your business needs a logo, website design,
business card, or anything you can imagine, check out 99Designs.
I used them to rapid prototype the cover for The 4-Hour
Body, and I've also had them help with display advertising and
illustrations. If you want a more personalized approach, I
recommend their 1-on-1 service. You get original designs from
designers around the world. The best part? You provide your
feedback, and then you end up with a product that you're happy
with or your money back. Click this link and get a free $99
upgrade. Give it a test run.
