If you've enjoyed my previous in-between episodes ,
then this might be your favorite episode ever. It's one of the
most actionable, information-packed interviews I've ever done.
This time, it's Joel Stein (@TheJoelStein) asking the
questions. Joel is one of the funniest writers I have ever read,
and he's great at leading an interview. Here's how it all
happened: Joel wanted me to help him figure out 5 areas he could
improve for an upcoming series he was going to create. I have
many different conversations with journalists. It can be painful
when I have a 1-2 hour conversation, and then it's cut to a
single sentence as a quote in a piece. And it's often a misquote.
So how do you fix that? Well, you record it yourself, which is
what we did. (With Joel's approval, of course.) This way, you
don't "lose" the content, and you cover your ass with media and
journalists. In this episode, we discuss a wide variety of
topics, including: How I choose what to improve from infinite
options How you can subtract your way to success The genius
of Ben Franklin Why self-improvement doesn't mean self-centered
How I say no to time-consuming lunches, coffees, and other
meetings How I tackle cold introductions How I surmounted
Lyme Disease My 100% complete break from start-ups (read this for

overwhelm Enjoy! This podcast is brought to you
by 99Designs, the world's largest marketplace of graphic

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

illustrations. If you want a more personalized approach, I

designers around the world. The best part? You provide your

by Thrive Market. If you’re anything like me, you care
a lot about the food you put in your body. In fact, I think it’s
much more important than exercise. The problem is that good
food can be extremely expensive…but it doesn’t have to be.
Thrive Market is like Costco for everything healthy – an online
shopping club offering the best brands and groceries at 25-50%
off retail prices, shipped nationally for free. There are a lot
of Slow-Carb Diet friendly items that I recommend in The 4-Hour
Body. You can easily filter everything by your preferences:
paleo, gluten-free, vegan, raw, non-GMO, etc. Best of
all: each paid membership also sponsors a free membership
for a low-income family. Until December 15th only, you have an
opportunity to win $10,000 in top-tier healthy food and other
prizes from Thrive Market. Go to this link, and when you
enter to win the prizes, you’ll automatically be sent a link to
download the Slow-Carb Diet Cookbook. Show notes and links for
