This episode, I sit down with Edward Norton (@EdwardNorton).
Edward is an actor, filmmaker and activist. He has been nominated
for three Academy Awards for his work in Primal Fear, American
History X, and Birdman. He has starred in scores of other films,
including Fight Club, The Illusionist, and Moonrise Kingdom.
Unbeknownst to most people, Edward is also a serial startup
founder (e.g. CrowdRise; here’s my current campaign),
a UN ambassador for biodiversity, a massively successful
investor (e.g. early Uber), a pilot, and deeply
involved with wilderness conservation. In this conversation, we
cover a lot of ground, including: His beginnings in acting, and
what early mentors taught him What separates great actors from
mediocre actors, as illustrated through an early Marlon Brando
story Edward’s physical preparation for American History X
(and camera trickery) The importance of surfing His favorite
books, documentaries, underrated films and filmmakers, and essays
(The Catastrophe of Success, etc.) His advice to his 20- and
30-year old self And much more... And here’s a bonus, another
favorite book he remembered after we stopped
recording: Buddhism Without Beliefs. Enjoy! This podcast is
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

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.
