Thanks for this great conversation Tim and Seth. Loved the Elizabeth King quote “Process saves us form the poverty of intention” and the insight that writer’s block is actually “fear of bad writing”! Both instantly actionable.

Tim. I keep coming back to this episode but not just for the feelings of enchantment when I listen to you both interacting. This time around, this “season of my life” (as the people who like to say things like to say); I keep coming back because of a startling resonance I felt with YOUR vulnerability.

I have questions.

Too many to ask just one. I saw a thread and I have an impulse to follow it to see what it unravels. But I worry about what it may unravel in me.

When I look at who I am, it makes no sense that I might have that fear. I am no one to you, but I know myself a recklessly, insatiably curious human being. And I have questions.

Hi, Andreas –

I believe the word you’re referring to is “pedagogy” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pedagogy). You can find all mentions of it in the transcript, found here: https://tim.blog/2020/10/29/seth-godin-the-practice-transcript/.

Best,

Team Tim Ferriss

Hey Tim
Another great interview. No wonder, Seth is an all time favourite on the blog.

I took a lot of notes and there is one thing that I cannot figure out. When talking about learning you mentioned „Patagocci“ a couple of times (not sure if I spelled that correctly.
I could find any further reading on this way of learning and would appreciate any resource.
Thanks from a fan of the first hour.

Andreas

My favorite part! Seth Godin: “Well, so the other one which is as big as that one is, I think authenticity is a crock, and I think authenticity is overrated and talked about far too much. The problem with authenticity is it’s selfish. Authenticity enables us to say whatever we want and if people don’t like it, well I was just being authentic. It is a ticket to self-absorbed inconsistency, and I don’t think anybody we serve wants that. I think what they want is consistency. I think they want us to make a promise and keep it, and the reason it’s called work, not my hobby is because I made a promise.
I decided a really long time ago that I was going to be consistent, and it didn’t matter if in a moment, I felt like yelling at a customer service person, or going up on stage when I’m supposed to be adding energy and just taking energy instead. What I learned from that is the way we act determines how we feel way more often than the way we feel determines how we act.”

HAHAHAHA. Porn Hub. Let me laugh for you since I know some people, the ones who get offended by EVERYTHING now, will freak out. Keep your panties on people…..humor is therapy and so is listening to Tim.
