RE; Tim Ferris im stealing that "well id like to bounce that question back to you" and Chris when you were "forced" to respond to your own question I think your responses are an indication of how well you are doing as a podcaster. For example each time you were asked to answer your own question you revealed the depth of interest you had behind the question in other words it showed you truly had an interest in the discussion and that you weren't just " filling a role" which I think is the reason your podcasts have always stuck out for me.

"It makes me sad to think that somebody can have the capacity to do great things, and then not do the interpersonal thing to pay that forward" Chris Williamson. For some of us, (myself included) interpersonal work wasn't taught and we think we have the everything under control, but it's what we don't know, that we don't know, that often does the most damage. Thank you to both Chris and Tim for doing what you do and encouraging more people to truly look inward.

Best backgrounds yet. These dynamic environment pods have been super sick

Maybe the best Tim Ferriss Interview… That's saying a lot!

Chris every time you ask a guest "what would you say to someone who......" I find that this directly ties to myself. You know your audience, don't stop asking these things. Cheers mate.

This is immediately up there with the best of your podcasts Chris. There was felt respect between both of you that allowed for what presented as a real open and honest conversation.

Tim is honestly one of the best dudes out there you can learn from. And if you do, your life will likely improve from the same day. Not for everyone. Thanks Tim for all you do.

Crazy to watch the guy I grew up listening to in Tim Ferris and learning incredible amounts to now being a bit older and loving Chris's new content. These podcasts make me so much happier and more successful. I attribute becoming an entrepreneur to Tim and being a better human because of Chris. So much gratitude for these guys. 🙏💪

Thanks Chris!!! Watching this AMAZING and FREE interview, It felt like watching a bonus Master Class. Once again... thank you.

Dude, lovely production! :) And also a long overdue interview with the original.. much appreciated!

I didn't envision this collab but was so happily surprised to see Tim here

A modern wisdom cinema production! What a perfect name!

Tim's insights on effectiveness versus efficiency are spot on! 🎯 Choosing the right tasks and having a clear definition of success are essential for long-term progress and fulfillment in both personal and professional endeavors.

i love Tim talking about fame. a conversation i always find fascinating. i think his blog post about fame is one of the best I've ever read.

I find it peculiar that a interview such as this doesn’t get nowhere near as many views as your videos touching on depression, male loneliness and other negative emotions. It’s as if we are not only drawn to depression but tend to bask in its ambience without actually doing anything to get out of it, much like when you talk about your goals that can suffice and you never actually take steps to get there. Something like this interview has way more information to actually move forward with your life practically in my eyes. I have actively stopped watching all of the interviews & shorts that for me personally glamourise male loneliness, depression and nihlism and it’s hard as they gave me an identity to adopt. I have tilted my gaze towards entrepreneur interviews and more positive podcasts in hope that will reorientate my way of thinking.

Fantastic conversation. A key takeaway from this is that the whole 'Optimisation Project' is finally reaching a dead end. Thank goodness.

Ok, now I understand the screens, post production, the works. This looks/sounds awesome!

This is an incredible podcast for anyone looking to optimize their own life and begin to perform to the levels excepted from yourself. Massive thank you Tim & Chris

This was a fantastic episode. I love how Tim put up guard rails around things like psychedelic usage etc. Although I suggest there’s a lot of research that contradicts your views on ketamine treatments. That being said, I do agree that all ketamine treatments should be other form of infusion inside a clinic with a psychotherapist involved. At our micro hospital in Austin we used quite often to also assist with non narcotic detox protocols. It was a game changer. I did a loading phase of 6 infusions in 2 weeks and 1 per month for 3 months after. Saved my life from depersonalization disorder.

Loved this podcast by Tim Williamson!

Tim Ferriss and 3h? Chris, you're a hero!

I am so glad that the book Red Rising get some media attention. This is one of the most well written series I have come across. The characters and their development is such an experience. Especially the first three books are an amazing ride with every entry getting better and ending with a satisfying climax.

Such eloquence from both, I can only admire their journey and strive to do better on my own!

Truly grateful for you both. Sanity sensemaking brain gym, indeed. 💜 💜

Chris, I’m glad you do the ad unique each time. Helps with the flow, and piggybacking on the interview content- it gives you the reps to get better at selling well and I’m sure it helps get more ads. Just a rouge thought

That is an awesome setting for the video.

I knew I'd love this conversation

Absolutely incredible

Excellent episode!

Brilliant! I wish more podcast hosts asked their guests the book and « the thing » question

It is hard to ignore the bobbsey twin vibe, but what a great talk - love these two!

Was happy to hear Chris take stock when Tim said, "Before I try to add more fuel to the fire…if I telescope out 6 months, 12 months from now, and I’ve done this, how will the composition of my audience have changed? Who will I have repelled, who will I have attracted?” Carrying that guideline will serve him well.

Was really unsure of the fake backgrounds but i actually think its pretty good now 😂

I've found an interesting place where the talk about hypervigilance lands for me. I've been trying to improve in a competitive videogame that I've played for about 7 years now, and too much hypervigilance was destroying my mental. What Chris said about focusing on how you feel during the activity versus the outcome is very important, if you only focus on winning then you start to lose. Conversely, if you focus on having fun, finding humor in your mistakes, and being a team player, everything starts to come together. I just play better when I do all the other habits related to health and wellness, who would have guessed
