Maybe the most engaging podcast I have ever listened to. His lengthy series on the Eastern Front in WWII, the fall of the Roman Republic, and the Mongols are incredible. Dan is a master story teller and its almost impossible to stop listening to him recount these violent and historic eras. Even if you don’t care about history, you will find these podcasts enjoyable and worthwhile.
In each episode Tim interviews a master of their respective craft and tries to dissect what sets them apart. I enjoy them because there is typically some actionable tips, routines, or techniques we can implement to somehow improve our lives.
Michael Gervais is a high performance psychologist and in this podcast he converses with a broad range of high performers and digs into their backgrounds, mindsets and how they think about mastery.
Reid Hoffman does an excellent job highlighting some of the strategies, tactics, business plans, and more of some of today’s fastest growing companies.
Patrick O’Shaughnessy dissects different investors and their approaches in a clear and thoughtful manner.
Jason Silva is energetic, inspiring and exploring fields aimed towards “cognitive ecstasy” and other mindblowing concepts. These videos are usually just 2-3 minutes long and in them he explores anything from the spiritual to psychedelics (are they intertwined?) and too many other amazing topics to call out. I have gotten sucked into these videos for hours at a time and can’t recommend highly enough.
