Rainn Wilson (@rainnwilson) is best known for playing "Dwight" on
NBC's Emmy-Winning, "The Office”. He has also acted in "Super",
"Cooties", "Juno", "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "The Rocker" among
other movies. He co-founded SoulPancake, a media company that
seeks to tackle "Life's Big Questions." He's a board member of
Mona Foundation and co-founded Lidè, an educational initiative in
rural Haiti that empowers young, at-risk women through the arts.
He is the author of the brand-new book, The Bassoon King, which
is his laugh-out- loud memoir. We cover a lot in this episode,
including: - The value of “as if” exercises from drama school -
Meditation practices, and what constitutes a "win" in a session -
The origins of SoulPancake and the Kid President video mega-hit -
Favorite books, documentaries, and movies - Acting as therapy
(even for non-actors) - The basics of Baha'i and what Rainn would
put on a billboard - The Sexy Nostril exercise Show notes and

www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to you
by MeUndies. If I’m not going commando, then I’m
wearing MeUndies. I’ve been testing out pairs for about 3 or 4
months now, and, as a result, I've thrown out my other
underwear. They look good, feel good, have options for men and
women, and their materials are 2x softer than cotton, as
evaluated using the Kawabata method. Not only does MeUndies
offer underwear, but they also have incredible lounge pants.
I wear them when I record the podcast, and when I’m out and about
grabbing coffee. If by some chance you’re not happy with the
first pair you try on, they’ll refund your purchase completely.
Check out MeUndies.com/Tim to see my current faves (some are
awesomely ridiculous) and, while you’re at it, don’t miss
lots of hot ladies wearing MeUndies. This podcast is also brought
to you 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. Mandatory
