I\\u2019ve interviewed legendary storyteller Cal Fussman (@calfussman) on this show before (here and here), but this time, the roles are reversed, and he interviews me!
If you are not yet familiar with him, Cal is a New York Times bestselling author and a writer-at-large for Esquire magazine, where he is best known for being a primary writer of the \\u201cWhat I Learned\\u201d feature. And this interview originally aired on Cal\\u2019s podcast, \\u201cBig Questions with Cal Fussman.\\u201d
Cal has transformed oral history into an art form, conducting probing interviews with the icons who\\u2019ve shaped the last 50 years of world history: Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Jack Welch, Robert DeNiro, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Springsteen, Dr. Dre, Quincy Jones, Woody Allen, Barbara Walters, Pel\\xe9, Yao Ming, Serena Williams, John Wooden, Muhammad Ali, and countless others.
Enjoy!
This podcast is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. While I often praise this company\\u2019s lion\\u2019s mane mushroom coffee for a minimal caffeine wakeup call that lasts, I asked the founders if they could help me\\u2014someone who\\u2019s struggled with insomnia for decades\\u2014sleep. Their answer: Reishi Mushroom Elixir. They made a special batch for me and my listeners that comes without sweetener; you can try it at bedtime with a little honey or nut milk, or you can just add hot water to your single-serving packet and embrace its bitterness like I do.
Try it right now by going to foursigmatic.com/ferriss and using the code Ferriss to get 20 percent off this rare, limited run of Reishi Mushroom Elixir. If you are in the experimental mindset, I do not think you\\u2019ll be disappointed.
