| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Nivey. You're listening to the Naval Podcast. This is one giant megasode that collects |
| 0:06.4 | every episode we've done on getting rich, all of it based on his tweet storm of how to get rich |
| 0:13.1 | without getting lucky. I've collected them all here because we're going to switch topics to the |
| 0:18.3 | new topic of happiness on the next episode. We've published one of these |
| 0:22.2 | giant megasodes before, but this one's even bigger. It's about three and a half hours long. |
