Noah Huisman is a modern-day renaissance man. He’s an author, venture capitalist lawyer, gym owner, and fitness connoisseur. In my two weeks in Austin, Noah served as a tour guide. He took me through workouts, allowed me to use his gym, and helped me explore the different sights. He also opened my mind to new perspectives and ideas. He's one of the smartest and strongest people I know.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we discussed Noah’s near-death experience, different stories from philosophy, finding the ideal, and the heroes you want to be.
