Summary

“When you put on really effective armor, you do keep things out but you also keep a lot in.” Tim Ferriss If you think you know Tim Ferriss, think again – this is Tim like you’ve never seen or heard him before. A relentless experimenter and virtuoso of deconstruction, Tim has spent the better part of his adult life studying mastery and sharing what he has learned on his wildly popular blog and string of four consecutive #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling books, which include The 4-Hour Workweek*,The 4-Hour Body*,The 4-Hour Chef*,Tools of Titans*, and his brand new offering, Tribe of Mentors*. Along the way, Tim became a prominent angel investor and philanthropist, named one of Fast Company‘s “Most Innovative Business People” and one of Fortune‘s “40 under 40”. He’s graced the main stage at TED and been featured in every prominent media outlet imaginable. His work hosting The Tim Ferriss Show podcast – one of the most widely listened to podcasts in the world with over 200 million downloads — led The Observer to call him “the Oprah of audio”. I’m willing to bet most of you are already decidedly familiar with this globally renowned polymath. Like you, I’ve followed his blog for years. I’ve read all his books and I listen to his podcast regularly. It’s an understatement to say that Tim’s work has been instrumental in helping me forge the life I’m blessed to lead today. For that I am forever grateful. nulltheless, I never felt like I really knew the man behind the work. Who is the real Tim Ferriss? It turns out, Tim has been asking himself the very same question. Over the last year, he has endured much. The loss of some good friends matched by turning 40 has left him pondering his mortality. He walked away from tech investing, decamping Silicon Valley for Austin out of a desire to slow the pace of his frenetic life. And a very intense recent 10-day silent meditation retreat is emblematic of a redirected focus inward. Today finds Tim in a rather reflective and contemplative place. A point in time in which he is wrestling with his past, evaluating the person he wants to be, and deeply contemplating what is most important about life. Today we unpack the real Tim Ferriss. Enjoy!

0:00.0	Hey, you know that kombucha, kimchi, and other fermented foods that you're eating?
0:05.1	Well, good job, pat on the back.
0:07.1	Super nutritious, delicious, but also somewhat limited in terms of gut health, a limitation
0:13.7	easily resolved by working a prebiotic and probiotic supplement into your daily routine.
0:20.8	But here's the thing, not all probiotics are created equal.
0:24.8	In fact, because the supplement world is so unregulated, the vast majority of them are
0:30.9	actually surprisingly deficient or sometimes even downright ineffective.
0:35.6	But I have found a great evidence-backed pre- and probiotic.
0:40.0	It's called seed.

0:49.7	And they've got this amazing signature product.
0:52.4	It's called the DSO-1 daily symbiotic and it combines 24 clinically verified and naturally

1:05.5	and additional systemic benefits.
1:07.6	It's all delivered to you in a 2-in-1 Viacap delivery technology that protects against stomach
1:14.0	acid and digestion enzymes, which basically means the live probiotics will actually make
1:19.9	it to the end of the small intestine for delivery into the colon through digestion.
1:25.3	The prebiotic outer capsule is made from Indian pomegranate and serves as this elegant barrier
1:30.7	to oxygen, moisture, and heat, which makes for a convenient storage and no refrigeration
