Rick Rubin has been called "the most important [music]
producer of the last 20 years" by MTV. Rick is
also revered as something of a Zen master across
industries, and he is as deep as he is soft-spoken. He rarely
grants interviews, and one condition of doing this one was the
setting: his hyper-heated barrel sauna at home. [Show notes
can be found at fourhourworkweek.com/podcast] In this episode, we
delve into how Rick helps artists (e.g. Jay Z, Shakira,
Johnny Cash, etc.) produce their best work. Not only that,
we also discuss Rick's step-by-step experience losing 135+
pounds. He describes underwater weightlifting stories,
training with Laird Hamilton, testing different diets, and
much more. Rick's resume includes everyone from Johnny
Cash to Jay Z. His metal artists include groups like
Black Sabbath, Slayer, System of a Down, Metallica, Rage Against
the Machine, and Linkin Park. He's worked with pop artists like
Shakira, Adele, Sheryl Crow, Lana Del Rey, and Lady Gaga.
He's also been credited with helping to popularize hip
hop with artists like LL Cool J, The Beastie Boys,
Eminem, Jay Z, and Kanye West. And that's just a small
sample. This conversation teaches a cohesive lesson
in breaking down complex skills with deep and
subtle problem solving. The sauna caused the
microphones to burn our hands and us to nearly pass out. DON'T
TRY THIS AT HOME, folks! I think it adds a hilarious element to
the whole thing, but it's not without risks. Enjoy! Last but
not least, if you haven't seen my new TV show, which is #1 on
iTunes as I write this, please check out The Tim Ferriss
Experiment! There are 13 episodes, including ones with
surfer Laird Hamilton and "top 10 drummer of all-time" Stewart
Copeland. ### This episode is

years. If you look in my kitchen or in my garage you will find
Alpha BRAIN, chewable melatonin (for resetting my clock while
traveling), kettlebells, maces, battle ropes, and steel clubs. It
sounds like a torture chamber, and it basically is.
A torture chamber for self-improvement! Ah, the lovely pain.
