The Joe Rogan Experience with Joe Rogan
Jul 13, 2022Tap to summarizeIn this episode Mike and Eric tackle why we believe this is the most listened to podcast on the planet, as well as what we like and what we don't. Indeed, as with many podcasts, it may all just be about understanding yourself and knowing who your tribe is! The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is a (very) long form conversation hosted by comedian Joe Rogan with friends and guests that are typically comedians, actors, musicians, MMA fighters, authors, artists, and experts in their field. In this episode Mike and Eric focus on Joe's March 7, 2022 episode with Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast.

Transcribe →WorkLife with Adam Grant
Jun 1, 2022Tap to summarizeWhen your podcast starts to get rolling, like really rolling, like Adam Grant rolling, how far do you venture from your core focus? People have tuned in for some time, the podcast has averaged over a million ears per episode and spent multiple weeks as the #1 show on the entire Apple Podcasts chart. Surely you can try a few different things. Change it up. Expand your audience perhaps? Then again, maybe not? On WorkLife, host Adam Grant, organizational psychologist, best-selling author and Saul P. Steinberg Professor of Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, takes you inside the minds of some of the world’s most unusual professionals to explore the science of making work not suck. From learning how to love criticism to harnessing the power of frustration. But one thing’s for sure, you’ll never see your job the same way again. While Mike and Eric might disagree on whether Adam tops Malcolm Gladwell for pure listening enjoyment, if there's one thing we do agree upon, it's that we wish we were as smart and successful as Adam Grant and hope that we come across as having as much fun doing what we do as Adam seems to be having. In this episode of “No Harm In Asking” Mike and Eric review the May 4, 2022 show of WorkLife titled "Taken for Granted: Jon Batiste on the art of pushing your limits". We also review a few others that are more representative of Adam's usual format and style.

Transcribe →The Tim Ferriss Show with Tim Ferriss
May 12, 2022Tap to summarizeForbes put the Tim Ferriss Show on its list of "10 Podcasts To Change Your Life". With more than 700 million downloads, it has been selected three time as the "Best of Apple Podcasts" and has been ranked #1 out of its 400,000+ podcasts on numerous occasions. But can you replicate Tim's success? Can you eventually get ads for mushroom coffee too? Launched in April of 2014, Ferriss interviews "world-class performers" ranging from Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel to Malcolm Gladwell and Reid Hoffman to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Foxx. His focus is on dissecting actionable advice from top books, morning routines, exercise habits and time-management tricks. Or in his own words … “I specialize in pattern recognition and accelerated learning”. In this episode of “No Harm In Asking” Mike and Eric review "The Tim Ferriss Show" where we discuss what makes Tim unique, as well as whether preparation really is the key to success. Are two hour podcasts really necessary? Should you break them up? Is Tim’s interview style particularly distinct? Apparently, Ferriss charges $54,000 per episode and does two sponsorships per episode, what do we think of these ads? We’ll be specifically focused on episode #566 from January 26, 2022 with University of Chicago economics professor John List — A Master Economist on Strategic Quitting, How to Practice Theory of Mind, Learnings from Uber, Optimizations to Boost Donations, the Primitives of Decision-Making, and How Field Experiments Reveal Hidden Realities. We’ll also discuss if this is the world’s longest podcast title and whether Tim is the king of podcasting SEO?
