Who is Tracy DiNunzio and why is she guest hosting?
Hi, it's not Nicole Lappin. This is Tracy DiNunzio. And if you listened to yesterday's episode, you know that I'm here guest hosting for our dear Nicole while she's on maternity leave. My guest today is Tim Ferriss. A man who needs no introduction, but I'm going to give him one anyway. Tim is a world-renowned expert on self-improvement and self-actualization.
What is Tim Ferriss known for?
He's spent a lifetime studying and teaching the habits and mindsets of the world's most successful people. Tim has built, invested in, and advised huge tech companies like Uber, Facebook, and Shopify. He's written five number one New York Times bestsellers. He's had his own TV show, and he's probably best known for his podcast, which has over a billion downloads, and where he's interviewed everybody from Jerry Seinfeld to Tony Robbins to the dude from My Octopus Teacher. Tim brings free, practical education into the lives of tens of millions of people across the globe. I've been lucky to call Tim a friend and a mentor and an investor for over a decade now, and I feel lucky to know the very generous man behind the impressive resume. Tim and I got together in New York and talked for so long that we needed to split this episode into two parts. So today you'll hear Tim talk about the biggest lessons he's learned from that star-studded guest lineup over the years.
Why he thinks money is just a story that we tell ourselves and how to tell yourself a better one. And he'll separate fact from fiction when it comes to biohacking. Tomorrow you'll hear Tim talk about so much more. We'll get his current daily routine and then we'll go really deep on relationships and money and who Tim is dating and where he's finding matches now. But for now, let's start with part one. Tim Ferriss, welcome to Money Rehab.
Thank you. Nice to see you.
It's so good to see you, my old friend. I am so excited to have you here, especially right now, because I don't know if you realize this, but we are almost exactly 10 years out from when you had me on your podcast on the Tim Ferriss Show.
Back in the day. I know.
It flew, right?
Yeah, it's so fast.
It's so fast. And you were just getting started. I think I was something like episode 30.
Yeah, early days.
800 or something. Something like that. Yeah. So my first question is, do you remember that you were a little bit drunk? And you interviewed me.
Early days, I'm guessing, just to defend myself, I'm guessing this was probably during South by Southwest. Am I wrong?
I don't remember.
My guess is that I may have had some type of commitment beforehand and that I would have had tequila if I had to guess. Or did I get drunk in the episode?
You got drunk in the episode. You had wine.
Always a risky move.
Is there any chance that you remember what you were drinking?
for wine see i don't drink much wine anymore i would say i'm actually going completely dry this month which is not a reflection of being being drunk all the time otherwise but i can talk about alcohol and podcasting i learned pretty early that you have to really be strategic about how you mix those two Because how you perceive yourself as sounding and how good you perceive your humor to be is actually quite a few notches above reality when you get past, I would say, two drinks. But I'm going to guess Rombauer Chardonnay. Nope. You remember what I was drinking.
I remember what you were drinking.
What was it?
K Brothers, Amory Vineyard, Block 6. Does this ring a bell to you?
No, but that highlights how much of it I had.
Okay. You were into it. It was like a wine that you recommended.
Okay.
So I have a little gift for you.
Oh, wow. Look at this.
Yeah. Oh, incredible. So this is the wine that you were drinking when we did our podcast. Holy moly. I was going to ask you. That's really cool. Isn't that wild?
That's really sweet.
Okay. So there's one difference though. This is a vintage 2013. You were drinking a vintage 2010. Do you remember what you paid for it?
