"I should be used as a mercenary, not a lifer." - Tim
Ferriss In this episode, we have a change of pace... Expa
(@expa) is a startup studio. It was founded by Garrett
Camp, who co-founded Uber. Every once in a blue moon, they put
together a night of education. I was invited to participate. In
this episode, I discuss the topic of startup design vs.
lifestyle design. Some of you may be aware that I've been
involved with various startups ranging from Uber to Facebook,
Twitter and DuoLingo, and other businesses that have grown to
more than 100 million users and customers. Simultaneously, I have
written many times about lifestyle design, and I've
suggested that it should come before career planning. The
question is, how do we reconcile these two different approaches
to business? Should you focus on building your muse and
creating cash-flow focused business to fuel your ideal
lifestyle...or should you swing for the fences and bet it all on
a startup that is equity driven? This podcast explores these
topics -- and many more -- and aims to answer the questions that
I think are under-examined. Show notes and links for this episode
can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is
brought to you by 99Designs, the world’s largest marketplace
of graphic designers. Did you know I used 99Designs to rapid
prototype the cover for The 4-Hour Body? Here are some of the
impressive results. Click this link and get a free $99

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
