Summary
In this episode, I answer the most upvoted questions from subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday, the newsletter I send out every week. It explores five cool things I've found, including apps, books, gadgets, albums, articles, new hacks or tricks, and -- of course -- all sorts of weird stuff I dig up around the world. It's free, it's always going to be free, and if you want to check it out, you can go here: tim.blog/friday. If you're a longtime listener to this podcast, you'll find at least one or two actionable pieces of information here. If you'd like to listen to the last round of questions I answered, it can be found here. This time around, we discuss physical training, interview prep, networking, education reform, and much more. Enjoy! Show notes and links for this episode can be found at tim.blog/podcast. This podcast is brought to you by WordPress, my go-to platform for 24/7-supported, zero downtime blogging, writing online, creating websites -- everything! I love it to bits, and the lead developer, Matt Mullenweg, has appeared on this podcast many times. Whether for personal use or business, you're in good company with WordPress -- used by The New Yorker, Jay Z, FiveThirtyEight, TechCrunch, TED, CNN, and Time, just to name a few. A source at Google told me that WordPress offers "the best out-of-the-box SEO imaginable," which is probably why it runs nearly 30% of the Internet. Go to WordPress.com/Tim to get 15% off your website today! This podcast is also brought to you by Kettle & Fire, the first shelf-stable (never frozen) bone broth that uses 100 percent grass-fed, organically grazed animals. Recommended by past guests like Dom D'Agostino and Amelia Boone, Kettle & Fire is slow-simmered for 20+ hours, so the bone broth is packed with collagen -- 19 times more than its closest competitor -- and other key proteins and amino acids. Need that slow carb diet boost? Take a look at kettleandfire.com/tim for 20 percent off your entire order!

| 0:24.0 | This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. |
| 0:26.8 | I get asked all the time what I would take if I could only take one supplement. |
| 0:31.5 | The answer is invariably Athletic Greens. |
| 0:34.2 | I view it as all-in-one nutritional insurance. |
| 0:36.6 | I recommended it, in fact, in the four-hour body. |
| 0:39.2 | This is more than 10 years ago, and I did not get paid to do so. |
| 0:42.8 | With approximately 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole-food source ingredients, |
| 0:46.9 | you'd be very hard-pressed to find a more nutrient-dense and comprehensive formula on the market. |
| 0:51.6 | It has multivitamins, multimineral greens complex, probiotics, and prebiotics for gut health, |
| 0:56.8 | and immunity formula. |

| 1:01.3 | I usually take it once or twice a day just to make sure I've covered my bases |
| 1:05.6 | if I miss anything I'm not aware of. |
| 1:07.6 | Of course, I focus on nutrient-dense meals to begin with. |
| 1:10.9 | That's the basis, but Athletic Greens makes it easy to get a lot of nutrition |
| 1:15.0 | when whole foods aren't readily available. |
| 1:16.8 | From travel packets, I always have them in my bag when I'm zipping around. |
| 1:21.1 | Right now, Athletic Greens is giving my audience a special offer on top of their all-in-one formula, |
| 1:26.5 | which is a free vitamin D supplement and five free travel packs with your first subscription |
