Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is usually my job to sit down with world-class performers of all different types to tease out the habits, routines, favorite books, and so on that you can apply and test in your own life. 

This time, we have a very special episode I recorded with my close friend Kevin Rose at SXSW in Austin, Texas!

This week is officially the podcast’s 10-year anniversary, and there is no better way to commemorate such a wild milestone than with Kevin Rose and a little tequila. As many listeners know, Kevin was my very first guest for episode 1, way back in April 2014.  

Who is Kevin Rose? Kevin (@kevinrose) is a partner at True Ventures, an early-stage venture-capital firm that has invested more than $3.8 billion in a portfolio of more than 350 companies. He also hosts The Kevin Rose Show, which offers glimpses of the future into investing, artificial intelligence, wellness, and culture, featuring conversations with experts at the vanguard of their fields. 

In this episode, we discuss the dangers of audience capture, novel mental health treatments, modern dating, Ozempic, time dilation, Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul, and much, much more. 

Please enjoy!

I do my best with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG1 further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and the immune system.

This episode is brought to you by Nordic Naturals, the #1-selling fish-oil and algae-oil brand in the U.S.! Trusted by doctors and health-care professionals since 1995, Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega and Algae Omega provide foundational support for heart and brain health, immune-system function, and more. More than 80% of Americans don’t get enough omega-3 fats from their diet. That is a problem because the body can’t produce omega-3s, an important nutrient for cell structure and function. Nordic Naturals solves that problem with their Ultimate Omega fish-oil formula—made exclusively from 100% wild-caught fish—and their 100% vegan Algae Omega—made from microalgae, the original source of marine omega-3s.
