Welcome to The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is usually my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out their routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life. 

This time around, we have a very special edition featuring Dr. Mark Plotkin. 

Mark takes over my duties as host and shares an episode of the Plants of the Gods podcast. You, my dear listeners, are hearing the audio before anyone else, even before his podcast subscribers, so this is a Tim Ferriss Show exclusive. 

So, who is Dr. Mark Plotkin? Mark (@DocMarkPlotkin) is an ethnobotanist who serves as president of the Amazon Conservation Team, which has partnered with ~80 tribes to map and improve management and protection of ~100 million acres of ancestral rainforests. He is best known to the general public as the author of the book Tales of a Shaman\u2019s Apprentice, one of the most popular books ever written about the rainforest. His most recent book is The Amazon: What Everyone Needs to Know. You can find my interview with Mark at tim.blog/markplotkin. 

This tightly-packed episode explores all things coffee\u2014the most widely consumed mind-altering plant product in the world.

Please enjoy!

This episode is brought to you by my very own COCKPUNCH Coffee! This year, one way I\u2019ve scratched my own itch is by creating COCKPUNCH Coffee\u2014the first coffee I\u2019ve ever produced myself, and which I now drink every morning. It\u2019s a tie-in to a fictional world I created, but that\u2019s another story for another time. I enlisted the help of world-class experts and tested dozens of variations over many months. As longtime listeners know, I have very high standards when it comes to coffee. After dialing in the sourcing, roasting, and more, this is the combo that finally made me say, \u201cThis is the one!\u201d

100% of my COCKPUNCH-related proceeds to date\u2014now $2.5M+\u2014including those from COCKPUNCH Coffee, go to my non-profit foundation, the Saisei Foundation, which focuses on cutting-edge, scientific research and other uncrowded bets.

To learn more about the latest projects that I\u2019m working on, check out SaiseiFoundation.org. And if you\u2019d like some of the best coffee in the US, at least in my humble opinion, check out cockpunchcoffee.com. I think you\u2019ll love it as much as I do. Grab a bag\u2014or two or three\u2014at cockpunchcoffee.com.
