Boom!
Been listening to Tim’s podcast for years, but have never reviewed. My wife and I listened to the interview with Arthur Brooks, and I have subsequently listened to it three more times. I’ve listened to thousands of podcasts on wellness, top performance and biohacking. This one is a bell ringer. So good. Well done Tim and Arthur. My life is richer because of your work. Thank you!

Tim U
Have listened to these podcasts for years. I always feel like I’m going to Tim U(niversity) when I do. I’ve introduced him to dozens of people and find it interesting who does not resonate with him. He seems to be a love or don’t like. Yes he talks about himself quite often but he is also clear. He brings these people on for him to learn. We just get to benefit from it. And I have and truly enjoy the variety of topics and the self effacing of Tim himself.

#834: David Baszucki, Co-Founder of Roblox — The Path to 150M+ Daily Users, Critical Business Decisions, Ketogenic Therapy for Brain Health, Daily Routines, The Roblox Economy, and More

Q: Could you describe early in your son's freshman year at college, what happened?

David shares a personal story about his son entering a manic episode during his freshman year at UC Berkeley, which led to an eight or nine-year journey involving difficult experiences and ultimately discovering the benefits of a ketogenic diet for his mental health.

#830: Nick Kokonas and Richard Thaler, Nobel Prize Laureate — Realistic Economics, Avoiding The Winner’s Curse, Using Temptation Bundling, and Going Against the Establishment

Q: When my father worked, he was an actuary, worked at a big insurance company. He had the pension that was prevalent at that time, defined benefit pension plan, the old-fashioned kind, where how much you got in your pension just depended on how long you worked and what your final salary was. Now, when I started working in this area, one problem we noticed was lots of people weren't joining this savings plan even though their employer was matching contributions dollar for dollar up to say 6%. So that's like the stupidest thing you could ever do. You're making $100,000, they'll say, I'm going to give you $6,000 as long as you put-

Of course, economic theory would say, it doesn't matter. People are going to save the right amount. But what we noticed is in a lot of companies, only half of new workers would sign up within the first year. So how can we fix that? We talked about status quo bias. So here's a simple way. The way it worked at that time was, in order to join, you have to fill out a form and choose some investments and then sign. So how about if we just change the form and say, there's this plan, we're going to put you in unless you fill out a form saying you don't want it?
