This tactical episode covers principles and tactics for creating
amazing careers, comedy, writing, and much more. Hilarious
stories weave it all together. My guest is B.J. Novak (@bjnovak),
best known for his work on NBC's Emmy Award-winning comedy series
"The Office" as an actor, writer, director, and executive
producer. He has appeared in films such as Quentin Tarantino’s
Inglorious Basterds and Disney's Saving Mr. Banks. He is also the
author of the acclaimed short story collection "One More Thing"
and the #1 New York Times Best Seller "The Book With No Pictures"
(great Christmas gift), which has more than one million copies in
print. Last but not least, he is co-founder of The List App. In
other words, he does a lot and does it well. What are the habits,
tools, and routines that help him to do this? That's what we
explore in this conversation. Show notes and links for this
episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This
podcast is brought to you by Vimeo Pro, which is ideal for
entrepreneurs. In fact, a bunch of my start-ups are already
using Vimeo Pro. WealthFront uses it to explain how it develops
personalized investment portfolios. TaskRabbit uses it to tell
the company’s story. Twitter uses it to showcase Periscope. Why
are they using it instead of other options out there? Vimeo Pro
provides enterprise level video hosting that typically costs
thousands of dollars for a tiny fraction of the cost. Features
include: Gorgeous high-quality playback with no ads Up to 20 GB
of video storage every week Unlimited plays and views A fully
customizable video player, which can include your company logo,
custom outro, and more You get all this for just $199 per year
(that’s only $17 per/mo.) There are no complicated bandwidth
calculations or hidden fees. Just go to Vimeo.com/business to
check it out. If you like it, you can use the promo code “Tim” to
get 25% off. This is the deepest discount you will find anywhere
for Vimeo Pro. 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
