Tim Ferriss Interview

Fred Fuld & Tim Ferriss

I think most people are aware of Timothy Ferriss, famous author, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, fitness enthusiast, public speaker, and much, much more.

Last night, he spoke at an Inforum at the Commonwealth Club event, held at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, California. He was interviewed by  Naval Ravikant of AngelList. The entire session, including questions and answers, lasted an hour and a half.

For those of you who don’t know,  Tim Ferriss is the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, who wrote 4-Hour Workweek , 4-Hour Body, and 4-Hour Chef. He just released his latest book, Tools of Titans .

He talked about a lot of different topics covering a wide range of areas. (I don’t want to give any of it away.)

Fortunately, for those who were not able to attend, the presentation was broadcast live on Facebook (FB) and the recording is available on Facebook right now. Enjoy!
