  • A life enriching podcast

    Tim has introduced me to more fascinating people than any other podcast. Every episode is engaging but some guests end up changing your life. For me it was Jim Collins, Peter Attia, Jack Kornfield and Maria Popova just to name a few. The sheer breadth of topics covered pretty much guarantees that you will connect with at least a few guests. Although Tim emphasises the timeless nature of the principles discussed, the last few years have been particularly prescient in our rapidly changing AI power... more

  • Phenomenal Show

    The show never disappoints. Often guests or topics I’ve never heard about are the most interesting to learn and realize how they connect to life in interesting ways. Fantastic show and Tim’s questions are always so well crafted.

  • Excellent but lately all about Tim

    I have followed Tim for decades and all his books are on our shelves. Lately though it feels like there are A) soooo many ads and B) it feels a lot like Tim needs to put his guests into the context of his own achievements. He’s done a lot for sure, but we all know that. Please stop trying to one up your guests by telling your own stories. We love you but we know you and we also want to hear from your guests and celebrate them.

#874: Guy Oseary — The Legendary Hollywood Power Broker on 5-Minute Decisions, 36 Years of Managing Madonna, 26 IPOs, and Spotting Magic First
Q: What was your umbrella of responsibilities when you started working with Madonna?
I contributed creatively, sourcing directors, shaping project ideas, and guiding the creative direction, while also performing traditional management tasks and helping with tour and album strategy.
#873: David Allen — The Art of Getting Things Done (GTD) (Repost)
Q: Could you describe where you were in high school and what you wanted to be when you grew up?
Allen describes a transformative adolescence: acting, debating, and a formative year in Zurich that broadened his worldview, leading him toward liberal arts and philosophy rather than a traditional path; these experiences seeded his interests in models, culture, and ultimately productivity frameworks.
#870: Sebastian Mallaby, Biographer of Demis Hassabis — Lessons from 100+ AI Insiders on The Race to Superintelligence, The Religion of AI, and Spotting Breakthroughs Early
Q: What is the bull and bear case for Anthropic in the AI race?
The bull case centers on enterprise-focused AI products and a culture of safety that preserves loyalty and leadership, while the bear case concerns competition from Google DeepMind and potential cost barriers that could limit adoption.
#868: Tim’s Founder Kitchen — From Brainstorm to The President’s Office in Two Months (Featuring Jake Becraft, Strand Therapeutics)
Q: What is the main ask to policymakers right now?
The main ask is to streamline first-in-human testing and regulatory processes to accelerate bringing new medicines to patients in the U.S., reducing time and cost while maintaining safety.
#869: Max Levchin, PayPal and Affirm — The Path from The Soviet Union to Building Multi-Billion Dollar Companies (Plus: Real-World Socialism vs. Capitalism)
Q: What gave you the confidence to keep driving Affirm when bankers said it wouldn't work?
Levchin explains he relied on a combination of user insights (millennials hating banks), market gaps (no-fee, non-revolving credit), and a contrarian view that the consumer would adopt a transparent, responsible lending model despite initial pushback.
