Hello, boys and girls, ladies and germs, this is Tim Ferris and welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferris Show, where it is normally my job to interview world class performers, to tease out the habits, routines, et cetera, that you can apply to your own lives. This episode is a special episode. And It is a very detailed action packed episode, at least it was for me. And in a sense it pairs with an earlier episode. In two thousand seventeen, I did an episode with Naval Ravakant, who joins me again in this round two with Nick Zabo. And the title of that episode was The Quiet Master of Cryptocurrency, and it really covered
