0:00.0	I'm Cal Newport, and this is DeepQuestions, episode 215.
0:22.5	I'm here in my DeepQuark HQ, joined by my producer, Jesse, Jesse, one of the things I'm
0:28.7	excited about today is we have a guest, which has been a little while, but it's definitely been
0:35.3	one of our ambitions to have more interviews on the show, so to help kick off a season which we
0:42.9	may have more of those coming. I sat down with our friend of the show, good friend of the show,
0:49.6	Ryan Holiday. Exciting stuff. Yeah, there's a new book coming out. Discipline is destiny. It comes out
0:55.8	this week, the week that this podcast comes out. He is on track to sell, and this is the official
1:02.7	number I just got from BookScan, all the copies. That's what that says there. He has quite the
1:09.1	following, so I think this book's going to do quite well, but it's a good chance to catch up.
1:14.5	I'll say the long-term plan for a guest, in case you're wondering, is in the future what we would

1:42.1	Q&A, that's ultimately where we want to end up. The other exciting thing about today's guest

1:54.7	So that should be nice. I'm excited about that format. I can't wait to hear you talk to other people.
2:00.1	That would be great. You know, I love video, and so I like that we can also watch it. So at the youtube.com
2:06.1	slash counterpart, media will be able to release the video of Ryan and I talking as well as clips
2:10.2	from our interview. It's a lot of cool people I want to talk to. For me, my goal here is not so much
2:15.3	of I just want to have a bunch of famous people on. I'm happy having people return again and again.
2:22.5	What I want to do is bring in other interesting thinkers to tackle the type of issues that we do
