 Tim Ferriss.

Thoughts? 
 Tango 
 I kind of love him. Not a fan of his buddy Kevin Rose. But I think Tim is a well-intentioned guy

 Great marketer. Good author. Excellent money-maker. 

His 2 books are a bit ‚over-exciting‘ and ‚click-baity‘ but do have some good points I personally learned some things from. Def. have value. 
 been a while since I've listened. Not too keen on having your identity focused on efficiency and optimization, but he does bring an interesting conversation. 
 Ngmi 
 I admit I only know him from my periphery so this is a totally unfounded judgement. But my uninformed view of him is he's a talker instead of a doer which I find annoying. 
 Good characterization 
 Legit. Been listening since he started his podcast. A true master over conversation. Also, not controversial or attention seeking which means something nowadays given the size of his audience. 
 Just another fake guru. On the other hand there is something to learn from nearly everyone. 
 Fiat. 
 One thing is certain: he is curiosity driven! He has explored a lot of different areas of interest over the last years. From tango to diet experiments to tech/life perspective, podcast interviews etc. He even created an NFT project called cockpunch. I like him. 
 been listening to his pod since day one and it's been a net positive, also enjoyed the books. 
I haven't been listinging to the pod much lately just because I get bored of listing to CEOs sucking themselves off all the time
