My Favorite Podcast
Grand Theft Life, With Tim Urban
via Invest Like the Best Podcast
An interview with Tim Urban, the writer behind Wait But Why. In this interview, Tim discusses the the concept of thinking from “first principles” instead of just doing what everyone else is doing, as well as the importance of thinking like a “chef” instead of a “cook”.
I could listen to Tim talk for days, he’s a contrarian thinker who challenges conventional thinking on many different topics. I highly recommend giving this episode a listen.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading 🙂
