In this episode of Industry Relations, Rob and Greg discuss the broader cultural trend of returning to physical, human-centered experiences amid rapid advances in technology and AI. They explore topics ranging from Compass's decision to print physical listing books to the rise of tabletop gaming, and examine whether real estate's resistance to full automation is part of a wider pushback against digital efficiency.   Key Takeaways   Printed Listing Books – Compass's return to printed materials prompts a discussion about whether real estate is experiencing a retro shift. AI in Real Estate – Speculation on how AI could replace or supplement agents, and whether efficiency should be the ultimate goal in real estate transactions. Cultural Nostalgia and Physical Experiences – The potential link between societal burnout from digital life and renewed interest in human interaction and analog tools. Efficiency vs. Connection – Ongoing tension in the industry between embracing high-efficiency tech and preserving the emotional, human elements of real estate.   Links Chris Saaca on Tim Ferris talking about AI https://x.com/tferriss/status/1918030245359165944   https://stratechery.com/2025/an-interview-with-meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-about-ai-and-the-evolution-of-social-media/   An interview with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg About AI and the Evolution of Social media https://stratechery.com/2025/an-interview-with-meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-about-ai-and-the-evolution-of-social-media/   Compass "reimagine" MLS books. https://www.vendoralley.com/2025/05/01/compass-reimagines-mls-books/   Companion (Movie) https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/companion-2025   Toby Robertson's CIBACS business (Senior Project) https://www.cyclesentrystickers.com Critical Role https://critrole.com/   Connect with Rob and Greg Rob's Website https://notoriousrob.substack.com/ Greg's Website https://www.vendoralley.com/about-2/ Our Sponsors: Cotality https://www.cotality.com/ Notorious VIP https://notoriousrob.substack.com The Giant Steps Job Board https://vendoralley.jobboard.io/   Production and Editing Services by Sunbound Studios

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek. Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what wouldn't I change? What stands the test of time and hasn't lost any potency? This episode features two of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek. The chapters push you to defend your scarce attention—one by saying no to people, the other by saying no to excess information.Sponsors:David Protein Bars 28g of protein, 150 calories, and 0g of sugar: https://davidprotein.com/tim (Buy 4 cartons, get the 5th free.)Our Place's Titanium Always Pan® Pro using nonstick technology that's coating-free and made without PFAS, otherwise known as “Forever Chemicals”: https://fromourplace.com/tim (Shop their Spring Sale today!)AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: https://DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.)*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissPast guests on The Tim Ferriss Show include Jerry Seinfeld, Hugh Jackman, Dr. Jane Goodall, LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Jamie Foxx, Matthew McConaughey, Esther Perel, Elizabeth Gilbert, Terry Crews, Sia, Yuval Noah Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Madeleine Albright, Cheryl Strayed, Jim Collins, Mary Karr, Maria Popova, Sam Harris, Michael Phelps, Bob Iger, Edward Norton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Neil Strauss, Ken Burns, Maria Sharapova, Marc Andreessen, Neil Gaiman, Neil de Grasse Tyson, Jocko Willink, Daniel Ek, Kelly Slater, Dr. Peter Attia, Seth Godin, Howard Marks, Dr. Brené Brown, Eric Schmidt, Michael Lewis, Joe Gebbia, Michael Pollan, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Vince Vaughn, Brian Koppelman, Ramit Sethi, Dax Shepard, Tony Robbins, Jim Dethmer, Dan Harris, Ray Dalio, Naval Ravikant, Vitalik Buterin, Elizabeth Lesser, Amanda Palmer, Katie Haun, Sir Richard Branson, Chuck Palahniuk, Arianna Huffington, Reid Hoffman, Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Rick Rubin, Dr. Vivek Murthy, Darren Aronofsky, Margaret Atwood, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Dr. Gabor Maté, Anne Lamott, Sarah Silverman, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and many more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes 4-Hour Secret: Master Uncomfortable Conversations April 29, 2025 | Episode - 5082 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever wonder how those "work less, earn more" gurus pull it off? In this eye-opening episode, Scott dives into a hidden gem from Tim Ferriss's groundbreaking book "The 4-Hour Work Week." It's not just about working less—mastering the critical conversations that make it possible. With Scott's signature straight-talk approach, you'll discover why the ability to have direct discussions might be the most valuable skill you're not using. Featured Story Scott reveals the secret sauce behind Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Work Week philosophy that most people miss. Working drastically less than others requires navigating relationships differently than the rest. Your happiness depends more on these relationships than anything else, and mastering uncomfortable conversations is the key. Scott shares his proven system that cuts through the awkwardness and gets straight to solutions. Key Takeaways Your life quality is determined more by your relationships than by circumstances like flat tires or financial setbacks. Going against social norms (like working 4 hours instead of 40) requires mastering difficult conversations. Direct communication saves time, reduces anxiety, and earns respect—even when it initially feels uncomfortable. Memorable Quotes "If you want to achieve something in life, you're going to have to figure out the steps along the way—and those steps are not going to be smooth and easy and comfortable." "Friends bring obligations and liabilities. Relationships bring friction. It is a fact of life." "If you're looking at your life and say, 'Man, I can't be happy,' I'm going to say, look at your relationships and make sure you're happy there." Scott's Three-Step Approach Be direct and get to the point: "We need to chat. You might feel uncomfortable at first, but everything will be okay." Say what you must say without drama, meandering, or excessive explanation. Finish your thought, then ask for their perspective: "That's what's on my mind. What do you think?"

The “Double down on what's working” advice has a major flaw. It can make you overlook obvious gaps in your business. Example #1 • Who: A content creator with tons of traffic • What worked: Creating content • Usual advice: Create more content • Real bottleneck: Nothing to sell • Better advice: Create a product Example #2 • Who: A language learning app • What worked: Facebook ads • Usual advice: Run more ads • Real bottleneck: High churn • Better advice: Improve the product A better question to ask (in my opinion) is: “What is the ONE thing that, if you had it, would make everything else easier?” Tim Ferriss calls it the “big domino.” For many creator businesses, it's most of the time a matter of: - Better video ideas - More promotion - Creating more products to sell - Or simply repackage them Join our events: creatorempires.com

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people. For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses, who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Psalm 139:1–3: O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Mark 10:17–31: The Rich Man Luke 15:11–32: The Parable of the Prodigal and His Brother Isaiah 43:1,4: But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine … Because you are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you. Ecclesiastes 1:9: What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Go to prayer and ask the Lord these two questions: By what name do You call me? What is the one thing that keeps me from wholeheartedly following You? Show mentions.

In the world of preparedness, the ability to adapt and grow is just as important as stockpiling supplies. Knowledge is one of the few preps that can never be taken from you. The more you know, the better you can handle any situation—from making your own gear to understanding alternative medicine or even thriving in a grid-down world. Learning isn't just about survival; it's about becoming a more capable, resilient person in every aspect of life. But in a world of infinite information, how do you separate the useful from the noise? That's where smart learning techniques come in. Inspired by Tim Ferriss and other efficiency experts, I've developed a system that helps me absorb information quickly, filter out nonsense, and actually retain what I learn.

Ash and Kane discuss whether podcasting is better for brand building or lead generation. They share examples of how podcasting is great for both but also explain that while podcasting can generate high quality leads, its real power lies in building trust and creating long term opportunities. KEY TAKEAWAYS Podcasting builds a brand better than it generates leads, it generally creates more value through indirect opportunities than direct monetisation. Authenticity is essential as overly sales focused content isn’t good for audience trust and long term brand value. Tim Ferriss leveraged his podcast brand to invest early in Uber, Facebook, Shopify, Duolingo and Twitter, showing how brand benefits can outweigh direct revenue. Podcast listeners often skip typical marketing funnel stages, converting directly to high ticket purchases. Podcast leads are typically fewer but higher quality so listeners are more likely to buy expensive products and services. Interview established names in your industry to build credibility by association, especially when you are first starting out. The podcasting opportunity hierarchy is to brand build first, lead nurturing second and lead generation third. BEST MOMENTS "If you overly focus on lead gen, that will affect your brand. The longer you can go without asking, the more you can ask for." "The more human you are and the more you share opinions and what you believe in, that's what builds brand. Essentially it's like trust and when you build brand, you get loads of opportunities." "Tim Ferris is one of the OG podcasters. It's been around like a decade, more than a decade, almost 15 years, really strong brand and because of his really strong brand, he was given the opportunity to invest in some of the biggest companies at a really early stage." "I think it is not the best vehicle for your top of funnel... Anybody who normally reaches out to us from the podcast, they're buying our training or they're working with the agency. They're not doing like discovery calls, webinars, let me get on your email list." "The podcast, I might get like less than 10 leads a month, but like they're buying really expensive products.” "The brand you get isn't just through posting content and getting views, it's by being sat next to somebody who's already really respected and leveraging other people's brand."

For this episode, I'm doing something a bit different. I'm featuring five chapters from the audiobook Fierce Intimacy by Terry Real. What you will hear in this episode will help you identify both your and your partner's losing strategies in relationships, and help you move from disharmony to repair. Terry is the creator of Relational Life Therapy, or RLT, which underpins all his books, courses, and teachings and equips people with the powerful relational skills they need to make love work. He is also the author of five books, including the New York Times bestseller Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship. And if you'd like an extra dose of calm, I recommend checking out Henry Shukman, a past podcast guest and one of only a few dozen masters in the world authorized to teach Sanbo Zen. Henry's app, The Way, has changed my life. I've been using it daily, often twice a day, and it's lowered my anxiety more than I thought possible. For 30 free sessions, just visit thewayapp.com/tim.
