What if reframing one simple word, and one simple practice, could reshape how you experience your life?
On today’s episode, we sit down with Tim Ferriss, bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, host of The Tim Ferriss Show, angel investor, and relentless experimenter in human potential. Known for his curiosity and cultural impact, Tim opens up about the intentional practices that support calm, focus, playful awareness, and deep presence in his everyday life.
Tim explores how language shapes experience, why play is essential (not optional), and how to design your days for the states that matter most. He also shares the thinking behind Coyote, his new card game built to spark laughter, sync groups, and unlock connection, not just competition.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- How a single word reframed can shift your nervous system and your day
- Practical ways Tim cultivates calm, focus, and presence
- Why play is essential to performance, creativity, and connection
- Designing for “states” vs. chasing outcomes
- The intention behind Coyote: syncing up, group flow, and joy
Tune in to learn how one of the world’s most prolific thinkers approaches mastery from the inside out—and what that might unlock in your own life.
