------
Tim Ferriss is a 5-time NYT best-selling author, an award-winning podcaster with over 900 million downloads, and a prolific angel investor. After nearly a year of work, he has finally begun to start talking about his secretive NFT drop.
What’s it about? Why’s he spending this next chapter of his life on NFTs? What alpha did he decide to drop on Bankless?
Also, Tim—like some of us, unfortunately—had money in FTX. We ask him about that and his advice for dealing with these tumultuous times.
