Tim Ferriss

Uh, but then there was comic book penciler.

I wanted to be a comic book... Comic book penciler.

Yeah, yeah.

I still have all my comic books from when I was a kid.

So I wanted to be a comic book penciler.

But this was pre-Marvel Studios, like, before... I mean, you were basically signing up for poverty if you were a comic book penciler back in the day.

Uh, nonetheless, still, like, a lot of icons and idols to this day I have so much respect for.

Jim Lee was one of my favorites.

So I still draw.

I still get into it.

But for a long time, I wanted to take that path.

Right on.

So those are some of the early stages.

Yeah, you know, it was sort of the water that I swam in, right?

In the sense that I didn't know life was any different for most people.

So a lot of bipolar, major depressive disorder, a lot of addiction in my family.

So you got, you know, alcohol-induced cardiomyopathy in one uncle, so he drank himself to death, got early onset dementia.

My aunt died of alcohol plus Percocet.

Pretty messy.

So, a lot of addiction.
