0:00.0	Happiness is the joy you feel while striving towards your potential.
0:14.1	Welcome to the Knowledge Project, a long-form conversation hosted by Shane Parag.
0:19.8	Our goal is simply to learn something new in every conversation that makes us a little bit smarter than yesterday.
0:26.3	You can learn more about the show and find past episodes at fs.blog-slashpodcast.
0:33.6	The Knowledge Project is a part of Fernum Street, a website dedicated to mastering the best of what
0:38.6	other people have already figured out. Fernum Street puts together a weekly newsletter called
0:43.3	Brain Food that comes out every Sunday. Much like this podcast, it's high signal, timeless,

1:48.5	design or build apps like Slack, Coinbase, Facebook Messenger, Oculus, Lonely Planet, and many more.
1:55.3	Metal Lab wants to bring their unique design philosophy to your project. Let them take your
1:59.6	brainstorm and turn it into the next billion dollar app from idea sketched on the back of an
2:04.2	napkin to a final ship product. Check them out at Metal Lab.co. That's Metal Lab.co. When you get
