To see Colin and Samir interview one of the bests in the game - and outside of the typical KZread circuit - is not only incredible but inspiring. Thanks C&S. Only way is up.

U must be an i--ot to not understand the catchiness of "4-hour" headline, the number of billionaires behind "tools" and the rest
“Choose a game you can play for the long term.” - Tim Ferris Thanks C&S for this episode with Tim. Knowledge is everywhere, but wisdom is rare. Awesome to hear Tim speak into the creator economy. Appreciate you! 👊🏼💯

That single concept explained why I burned out last year. 3.5 years of KZread try-hard Mode and enough is enough. Just hit 4 years and I’m making far fewer videos and only those I WANT to make.

Great interview. Amazing insights. I love how he discussed fear-setting and the benefits of imagining worst-case scenario so you can manage your own fears.
"Don't be the best, be the only" really struck a chord with me. The whole interview was excellent. Very happy Tim decided to more social than solo. Thank you all for yet another amazing show!
Years ago I used to work in corporate sales for a very old school company. I didn’t fit into the culture there and in my process of looking for something more fitting to my wants and needs, Tim’s podcast was a warm friend who kept me sane. Now, working full-time as a content creator, Colin and Samir keep me sane in this space too. Thanks for the quality guys, this episode rocked!

I just gotta say - I love that y'all put so many chapters in the videos! Makes it so easy to go back when you can't finish a vid!

If only everyone did this. Especially for long form. I think I leave the video if they don’t have it sometimes 😂 If I’m gonna watch this for this long I want to know very roughly if it’s gonna be worth it. So ya I’m with you on that.

@user-nj1zu2nf1x I'm a service based business owner too and I'm surprised the word boring came to mind. This was all really interesting
Never heard of a creator vetting their potential ad read with such detailed and thorough process. Learned so much! Thanks guys.

All those finance KZreadrs need to take notes
Thank you for this guys, It's so rare to have Tim on the other side of the table. You guys did a great job in the interview. This is something that I will rewatch multiple times.
"We need words to fill this part of the board because when we film interviews it looks too empty and we don't want our subscribers to think that we don't have important things to say that would fill a board." Love it! 🙌
This interview is worth it’s weight in gold
I seriously cannot get enough of your guy's content. I usually listen to the longer interviews while driving and while I am hesitant at first if theres an interview with someone I haven't heard of, I always get such valuable information out of it and get so invested. I'm so glad I found you guys a little while back. Please never stop.
Huge fan of Tim Ferriss. This is amazing seeing you guys get him on as a guest. I've listened to his 17 questions podcast numerous times as it always helps open my mind to my blind spots.
Colin and Samir meeting you guys over this weekend at your creators event was so amazing. Seeing your rise and being able to interview people like Tim Ferriss is so exciting and I’m so happy for you all. I was there last year when you hit 1 million of that some of that was such an electric special special day. I know you guys have not given up and kept pushing on and pushing on in. You’re such an inspiration to other creators like myself. It’s people like you that inspired me to walk away from traditional Hollywood to open up my own law, firm representing creators and helping them negotiate their brand deals. I don’t like the fact that creators are out there wing it on their own without any protection and this is the most meaningful work I have done in my entire career as an attorney. The creators economy will only keep growing, and I am so grateful that I started my channel a year ago. Samir a year ago you told me that if I try to become an attorney that represented Creator is that the niche would be so small. I’m OK with that but I also think that you guys hitting 1 million might indicate that maybe the creators space and creating content for creators is not as niche as it used to be. 🎉🎉
as a podcast producer, the 1 hour mark to the end is absolutely priceless. Thank y’all for leading such a phenomenal conversation
This conversation is pure gold. Needs to be rewatched every once in a while 👏👏👏👏👏
Love the shoutout to Dr. Sue Johnson! Her interview with Tim changed my life ❤ and his results with that episode should remind male content creators not to sleep on female guests and fans!
This has got to be my favourite Tim Ferris interview. I love how you guys came at it from a different angle and asked him things he’d never discussed. I felt giddy with excitement when he turned the tables back on you guys asking how you approached your own strategy for question asking. Top notch interview guys! Keep it up.
I watched this over the span of 24 hrs.. I wanted each part to sink in. You guys continue to deliver impeccable public knowledge with the guests you talk to and the conversations you effortlessly create. I feel so happy and touched when the guests compliment you. Also, I literally laughed out loud when Samir asked Tim's special question towards the end 😂
I didn't know you guys prior to this podcast with Tim. Thank you so much for getting us to know much more about Tim and the podcasting industry as a whole. I will be coming back after this. Your way of analyzing and asking questions is amazing and really brings the best out of guests.
Tim is such an interesting guest to have on as someone who bridged the gap from traditional to new media and has so much unique experience, couldn't be more psyched to see this unexpected collaboration happen with the MVP's of the creator world!
Tim is so inspiring on the amount of work he does before ever pressing record. Asking "What will make this time the most valuable for you" is something I will be adding to my chat before pressing record from now on!
What an incredible discussion. Tim is a truly great interviewer. This was a masterclass on so many levels! Amazing, deeply inspiring talk from start to finish. Will absolutely be re-watching. Thanks to C&S team and Tim for making this happen!
Couldn’t help myself from smiling ear to ear watching this 🫡 a legend!!!!
I’m rewatching it again, because I feel like i missed things by passively missing it the first time. Every minute of this interview is gold!
Hands down one of my fav interviews of all time. Thank you all 🙏🙌😍
One of my absolute favourites! I’ve followed Tim’s work for years! I am reeeeaaaaaallly looking forward to listening to this! Just started. Here we go! 🔥
As a podcaster myself, this was a very valuable episode - thank you Tim, Colin and Samir for sharing your knowledge
Iconic interview, thank you!
Great questions that brought out questions and a point of view that i have yet to see from Tim. Loved it
Well done guys . Fantastic rhythm and proximity. Tim brings me back to the 2000s , he's one of the greatest
Thank you so much guys for this episode, Tim's voice is so soothing what an icon. Amazing conversations👏
Hello to you three fab people Thankyou for this shared discussion. Mental Nurse😀 requiring a change in lane after nearly two decades. You guys here on KZread and more have REALLY saved my sanity professionally and indeed much more. Most grateful. Eyes nearly wide open. New fresh worldly eyes at that. 💜
LOVED how he asked you about your own interviewing dynamic! Even in an interview about him he manages to make the most interesing questions! Thanks for this, guys.
I hope this ep blows up. There are so many great nuggets of info in here. I've been a Tim Ferriss fan since 2015 and now I can safely say I'm a big Colin and Samir fan as well
First video I’m seeing of yours- love hearing Tim’s perspective!
Super Useful and Inspiring conversation. So many gems.
Absolutely killer conversation, gentlemen. Long time Tim Ferriss fan and it’s so nice to see him here.
As a podcaster myself, THANK YOU for this episode. Huge fan of all of you and I learned sooooo much in this episode. 🙏
Such a great episode. I read 4HWW years before I even considered starting my own business. But I can't help but recognise, whether it's through internalised learning or confirmarion bias, that many of the concepts taught in the book directly correlate to my decision making in what I do. Regardless, this podcast was a great reminder of how much I still have to learn. Thank you all 🙏

This is exactly what I was thinking! Read the book years before starting my business. I was so in awe of what the book taught I think it was ingrained in my unconscious.
Tim is the best! Love how he has no problem sharing all his industry related secrets! A true wealth of knowledge
been watching y'all for a min and I just wanna say you guys are super cool and the amount of value you bring to creators with these interviews awesome, keep killing it!!
What a valuable conversation. Thank you for doing the good work!
Such a valuable conversation. Didn't plan to listen to the whole thing but I made it to the deep end. Big fan of Tim Ferriss!
3 legends in a room.
Amazing! Thanks guys!
This must be one of your best interview! Thank you so much for that ❤
Solid again, guys! Thank you.
Superb interview. Tim Ferriss is one of the best interviewers in the game, and it’s fascinating to see him sit down on the other side of the table.
View No. 28! Lets go! Tim Ferris definetely a creator without being a creator.
WHAT?! SUCH a universe crossover. I'm ready for a full listen (you got a 100% retainment viewer here). Great initiative guys, thank you :)
Halfway through and am just in awe at the conversation here. Thanks to all three of you for this crossover event and incredible content. I think Tim's outlook on advertisers is fascinating.
Great episode, thank you guys!
This interview will change a lot of things I do. As well as start several things I’ve put off. Thanks!
Been following Tim (Tim Talk Talk) since 2010, he’s pioneered (mainstreaming/influencing ) so many industries. Podcasting, drop shipping, subscription boxes, easy meal prep services, fitness influencers, probably many more. His books (especially 4hchef, my desert island book) and podcast interviews opened me up to so many smart books and creators; he does Not get enough credit imo. Shaped my world view in my 20’s and is a big part of why I’ve finally been accepted into an entrepreneurial program this year. Goal of mine to speak with him one day!
Love to see it ❤
Great work fellas. Amazing questions that created one heck of a conversation.
Good stuff guys, listened to Tim a ton in my 20's as well, really really interesting watching things come full circle watching guys like you interview him
Thank you for the FREE (!!!!) Masterclass. Unbelievable. Very grateful. Tim, you're a special human.
This has been the most valuable piece of content I've listened to in at least the past month.. thank you so much!!!!
Crazy to think about the reach and impact Tim has had on the world 🙏
I am so happy you interviewed Tim Ferriss. I think he's incredible! Great interview!
Insane you guys got Tim on! He’s a legend!
This is the best interview I've seen in a long time! Epic C&S!
Great interview! I love the question about battling the Tim Ferris persona!
Fantastic interview. Tim was much more likable than I've seen him in the past (and I used to his #1 fan)... seems like he's really grounded right now, which I like. You guys did a phenomenal job.
I hesitate to click & listen and then it turns out to be one of your best. Thanks
epic conversation definitely watching this again. wow
So many interesting things on this episode. Great viewing.
Fantastic job. Loved the entire interview
Thanks for bringing Tim! He's books are awesome and as a creator he is one of the bests 👍
This was a great interview guys. Tons of value.
This was absolutely fantastic. Wonderful guest choice, brilliant questions. Appreciate the work you guys are doing.
Such an unexpected collab but the most excited I've ever been to watch a Colin & Samir episode.
I've been listening to Tim for a long time, thank you guys for interviewing him 👍
I love Tim ~ such a brilliant dude! Learned tons from him over the years💫
Listened on the pod, came back to watch the video
The most informative video I have watched in regards to podcasts and the creator business. Absolute gems of knowledge.
Tim is the man!!
This is one of the best podcasts of the year! tks guys! : )
Excellent conversation guys. I could feel the respect you guys have for Tim throughout the entire episode.
Man so cool to host Tim Ferriss especially given how influential he's been for you all (and myself)
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve seen and heard in a long time. Extremely informative for a podcaster working on episode number 19 and very entertaining. Tim is in a class all his own
Tim freakin' Ferriss, what a legend. Fantastic interview! Great show, guys! Thanks a bunch.
Absolutely love when wise minds come together ❤ Thanks Colin & Samir
Interesting discussion. Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
This was an incredible interview. So cool to have this for free on youtube. 👍🏻
Love the Colin and Samir podcast! Always feel so inspired listening to you all.
I'm watching this for the second time around. I also collect quality questions for both self-reflection & to upgrade my conversation skill-sets.
Wow.. i didn’t expect this at all! Thanks:)
This is awesome - great show.
This was one of the absolute best! The content and convo was something that I hoped you'd dive into... delivered 100%!
Omg I watched to the end……………….. loved this episode!
Fantastic pod and great insight!
Great convo. Thank you guys.
Great interview guys!! This is the first time I've watched (and quite honestly heard of) you guys. I watched because it was Tim...BUT I'll definitely be adding you guys to the queue going forward. I really love your insight and interesting, unique questioning I haven't heard elsewhere.
Just wanted to say the audio and visual quality of the last few videos have been incredible 🤩
This was a really incredible conversation. Well done y'all!
Incredible episode. Appreciate the specifics on the true practitionership
I'm a marketing guy for DJs who's now 136 subscribers into my KZread journey and has had a newsletter for two years. I've just watched this in two parts and I've taken away a lot from just my own enjoyment. Next time I listen to this is with a sharper and a few pieces of paper to make some notes. Great work guys.
