This is an IHeart podcast.

Michael Lewis here.

My bestselling book, The Big Short, tells the story of the buildup and burst of the U.S.

housing market back in 2008.

A decade ago, the Big Short was made into an Academy Award-winning movie.

Now I'm bringing it to you for the first time as an audiobook narrated by yours truly.

The Big Short Story, what it means to bet against the market, and who really pays for an unchecked

financial system, is as relevant today as it's ever been.

Get the Big Short now at Pushkin.fm slash audio books or wherever audio books are sold.

Coming up on you need therapy.

This is like a truth about social media that if I'm like going to it asking, especially for my business identity, like asking and looking for the validation of like, oh, I just feel like

I really want to see some likes come in or just like, you know, feel validated by that.

And it's like, that is not my thing to seek out from, especially if like there are clients

following me. I should not be looking for that. And so anytime I feel

that come up, I'm like, throw my phone across the room. I do not need to be going to this looking

for that validation. I started to realize that not being an expert isn't a liability. It's a real

gift. If we don't know something about ourselves at this point in our life,

it's probably because it's uncomfortable to know.

If you can die before you die, then you can really live.

There's a wisdom at death's door.

I thought I was insane. Yeah.

And I didn't know what to do because there was no internet.
