Love that tune and I love that tune almost as much as I love the episode that you're about to listen to because it is between your's truly and my dearest friend, Tim Ferriss.

Tim, as you well know, is the number one New York Times bestselling author of like 164 books.

Actually, I think he's got maybe five, and every one of them has been instrumental in my life.

The fact that we've been friends for 10 years and that he has helped me so much, even like the four-hour work week early on in my life,

was like, I don't know if it's four hours, but I like this idea of being able to live life

on your terms.

That was one of many gifts I've received from Tim.

And on the flip side of that, I found a meditation practice.

And when Tim was at a point in his life we were having a conversation,

I was like, dude, you've got to start meditating.

And he resisted.

And actually, yours truly, and Rick Rubin, we sort of jumped on him and said, we really recommend this.

You've got to check it out.

So he did.

And he's been meditating ever since as far as I know.

Another gift, speaking of the gifts that Tim has given me, is thinking about how to deconstruct

something from a lot of different angles.

And by that I mean, see what's working in an area of life or work or spirituality or

something, seeing something that is working and then deconstructing it

to find out how it's put together or how whoever was making it happen made it so.

And in this episode of the podcast, I am on a rooftop, it's a little bit windy, but I love

the raw feel of it, and I think you will too.
