Summary
Today, we're excited to have Tim Ferriss back on the show. Tim has been listed as one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Business People”, Forbes Magazine’s “Names You Need to Know,” and is the 7th “most powerful” personality on Newsweek’s Digital 100 Power Index for 2012. He is an angel investor/advisor (Uber, Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, and 20+ more) and author of The Four Hour Work Week, The Four Hour Chef, and The Four Hour Body.
In this episode, we explore the concept of peak performance and making the impossible possible. Tim shares his insights on how to develop an individualized style of competition, compensate for your weaknesses, capitalize on your strengths, and push beyond what you think is humanly possible.
We delve into the mindset that allows people to become extremely successful and discuss the importance of energy and attention management. Tim also shares his thoughts on how to look at success holistically and absorb the qualities of our mentors through osmosis.

| 0:38.5 | The first question, what makes someone truly wealthy, I think, is a combination of not just |
