Tim Ferriss: The Fear of No

Thank you so much to my guest, Tim Ferriss. You can listen to his huge podcast, The Tim Ferriss show. I’ve done a couple episodes of it, you can search that up, I’ll also link them in my post about this on the Patreon. And I do encourage you, if you can, to go listen to Tim’s beautiful episode that he did with Debbie Millman on his own show in September, called “My Healing Journey.” It’s just gorgeous.

I also would recommend you go see Tim’s TED talks, they’re pretty amazing. One of them is called Smash Fear, Learn Anything. And another one is called Why You Should Define Your Fears Instead of Your Goals, and they’re just so inspirational. His books are also fantastic, if you’re looking at getting your body in shape, The Four Hour Body is really good. My own breakfast bowls were inspired by Tim’s book, and you can go to his website tim.blog for blogs and newsletters, and also thank you to Tim for actually recording personally this interview at his apartment in Austin.

For all the music that you heard in this podcast, you can go to amandapalmer.net/podcast.

Many, many thanks as always to my incredible team. Hayley Rosenblum up first, who makes so many things possible, she’s the ghost in the machine in our Patreon, and she makes sure that so many things get done, words, pictures, my live chats, and so many things on the internet, I could not do this one without her, so thank you, Hayley.

My assistant, Michael McComiskey, makes sure that all of the trains run on time, and helps with correspondence and scheduling, and makes all the things happen, so thank you, Michael.

My London Merch Queen Alex Knight is also helping transcribe these podcasts, so that the conversations are accessible to everyone. Heartfelt thanks to Alex.

Kelly Welles, who is my new social media guru and mastermind, she’s been doing a fantastic job, so thank you Kelly.

And as always, my manager Jordan Verzar n Sydney, who brings everything and everyone together.

And last but not least, this whole shebang, this whole podcast, would not be possible without patronage. At current count, I’ve got between 14 and 15,000 people making it possible for this podcast to have no advertisement, no sponsors, no censorship, no corporate bullshit! We are just the media, doing our thing. 

Many special thanks to my high-rolling patrons, Simon Oliver, Saint Alexander, Birdie Black, Ruth Ann Harnisch, and Leela Cosgrove. Thank you guys so much especially for putting so much money into this bank.

Everyone else, please, if you wanna support all of my work, including keeping this podcast open and free, go to Patreon, becoming a supporting member. I also write blogs there, sometimes on the daily, sometimes a few times a week, and it’s a really beautiful community. And I sometimes do live follow-up chats with my guests, all of that happens through the Patreon, and I would love to see you there. The podcast usually comes out on Tuesday, we’ve got some amazing guests coming up, so follow the Patreon for all of that. Tim Minchin is coming up, Dan Savage is coming up next week, there’s so much good stuff in the line.

And the Patreon has all the extra photos and goodness and goodness, so go there, please, please, please. It’s a dollar a month, and it’s the least you can do to make sure that we can keep this all free and available. 

To all of my patrons, thank you for making it possible, for everyone who listened, thank you so much. Keep on asking everything.
