So it's shocking that The 4-Hour Workweek still holds up. I still remember the framework for the 4-Hour Workweek. Some of the biggest business books all are based around one framework. In the 4-Hour Workweek, it's the deal framework. Definition, elimination, automation, and liberation. So definition, I just sort of Googled it to remind myself, defines the new rules for work and lifestyle design.

Elimination focuses on eliminating unnecessary tasks and time wasters. Automation explains how to automate income and tasks. By the way, it couldn't be more relevant today in an AI world. And liberation focuses on achieving mobility and freedom. So... I mean, the frameworks make sense and are still relevant. Of course, some of this stuff is not going to be as like an oh my God moment.

I remember reading the 4-Hour Workweek in 2006 or whatever. Yeah, 2005, 2006. And hearing that you can hire people, VAs in different countries, I was like, I can't believe you can do this. Now everyone knows you can do that. Or at least people listening to this pod know you can do it.

What's your next book?

I got to be honest, I just Googled Derek Sivers. I have no idea. I didn't know who he was.

Why is Derek Sivers interesting?

He's like MySpace Tom. That's the MySpace Tom effect.

Generational wealth. Freak show. He didn't chase the general generational wealth. Okay, cool.

Yeah, so... Yeah, I... Get him on. I'm trying to get him on. Trying to get him on. Yeah.

That was one of the best books I've ever read. Quick's Jason Freed story just because I think it's interesting to you. You'll find it interesting because you're always like, Greg, how do you meet everyone? So I tweeted out... I did a tweet about bootstrap businesses. And then by the way, we'll get to one last book recommendation after I tell this quick side tangent story.

So I tweeted out just about bootstrap startups and why I think they're great and how I've been enjoying building them. And Jason Freed replied. He doesn't follow me, but he replied. I responded instantly. I was on desktop. Instantly, I replied and I was like, you should come on the pod. And then he was like, email me.

And the reason I'm sharing this is because I think people might find this interesting in terms of getting busy people, well-known people, and working with them in some capacity. So I go, hey, Jason, big fan. So I keep it really short. I have a podcast that gets 250,000 downloads a month.

Not an interview podcast, just a pod where I bring in three to four half, where the guest brings three to four half-baked ideas and we jam on it. If this is something of interest, I can work around your schedule. Just tell me what works, basically. And then I include past gets, include Alexis Ohanian, Sam Parr, Andrew Wilkinson. Jonathan Courtney. And then I take a screenshot.

I know he's a busy guy. So I took a screenshot of the tweet to remind him who I am. That's good.

Saving in time. So then he responds right away. Sounds fun. Format sounds really interesting. Let me watch a recent episode today to make sure I can bring something worthwhile. Sound good, Jason? I could have easily been like, absolutely sounds good. What are you going to do next? That's not my vibe.

A few options for different types of recent episodes. Jonathan Courtney! Yep. Kevin Rose, big, fun ideas. I include the YouTube and the Spotify because I don't know what he's going to prefer. Cody Schneider, D-Gen Scrappy Ideas, and Jice Cream. He's a friend, so more of a jam. Haven't heard back yet, but I'm optimistic.

Give us one last one. One last recommendation before we head out.

I'm going to, a new thing is- that I've been doing is whenever someone who I respect mentions a book, it's an auto Amazon order.

Dude, I've been buying. I just went on Amazon. We'll include the links in the YouTube description. If and only if you like, subscribe, comment. By the way, if you're going to like this YouTube video, which you should... I want you to click the thumbs up button, but because you liked it so much, click it again. And when you click it again, it's actually going to unlike it.

But then I want you to like it again. So it's like three times because you like it so much, even though it's only going to register once. Or click it really hard. Yeah, just click it really hard. All right. I want to see those injuries.
