This is a rare day!
I\u2019m launching a new podcast for the first time in many years, and it\u2019s scripted fiction. Even if you hate the name, I think most of you will enjoy the 50-second trailer. This podcast (and more) is intended to add a bit of laughter and levity to a world dominated by doomscrolling and pessimism.

Some background, plus Steven Pressfield on \u201cgoing big\u201d\u2026
I\u2019ve long wanted to do an experiment with fiction and art, resurrecting those old passions. I just couldn\u2019t find the right vehicle. The conventional options didn\u2019t work. Then, in early 2021, the author Steven Pressfield said the following to me:
\u201c[Going big] doesn\u2019t mean it necessarily has to be 800 pages long, but just a big idea. An idea that\u2019s kind of a scary idea, that you say to yourself, \u2018When I show this to people, they\u2019re going to look at me and go, \u2018What happened to you, Tim? Are you okay?' That\u2019s what I mean by big.\u201d
Shortly thereafter, I began dreaming bigger, dreaming stranger, and allowing myself to grab a few glasses of wine at night, sketch out the truly bat-shit crazy ideas, and go fully off-menu.
This podcast is part of \u201cgoing big\u201d for the fun of it, and it\u2019s part of a much broader art project. I hope you subscribe and stick around to see how things unfold. There are surprises in store\u2026

P.S. The very next episode of The Tim Ferriss Show will feature an incredible interview\u2014also a very powerful and moving interview\u2014with one of my favorite people on the planet.
