#500! KevKev TimTim TalkTalk on Dragon Slaying, Lessons Learned, Viagra, and Assorted Nonsense | Brought to you by Wealthfront automated investing (http://wealthfront.com/tim), Literati Kids, a try-before-you-buy subscription book club (http://literati.com/tim), and Athletic Greens all-in-one nutritional supplement (https://athleticgreens.com/tim). Kevin Rose (@KevinRose)—technologist, serial entrepreneur, world-class investor, self-experimenter, and all-around wild and crazy guy—was the first guest on the podcast nearly seven years ago. We were in San Francisco, sitting at this huge wooden table, and I remember being very nervous. I didn’t know what to expect, but if people liked the idea, I promised to do at least six total episodes. 600M+ downloads and hundreds of guests later, Kevin is taking the reins and interviewing me for episode #500! Hard to believe it all started off as a lark. It’s arguably the biggest thing I’ve ever done, and without you all—my dear listeners—it wouldn’t be possible. Thank you for allowing me to do this work. I love it. 🙏 Please enjoy!
