Here’s the Description of the “The Tim Ferris Show” Podcast
Tim Ferriss is a self-experimenter and bestselling author, best known for The 4-Hour Workweek, which has been translated into 40+ languages.
Newsweek calls him “the world’s best human guinea pig,” and The New York Times calls him “a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk.”
In this show, he deconstructs world-class performers from eclectic areas (investing, chess, pro sports, etc.), digging deep to find the tools, tactics, and tricks that listeners can use.

From Wikipedia.org
This is Tim’s description of the episode…
“Back in 2007, I experienced a massive tipping point for The 4-Hour Workweek at the South by Southwest (SXSW conference held in Austin, Texas. Two or three days played a key role in the book becoming a worldwide bestseller in 40+ languages.
“So what exactly happened at the event? How did I optimize those 2-3 days?
“The below audio is a presentation I recently gave about a better, more effective way to network.”

NOTE:
1) He does cuss some in this recording, so if that’s offensive to you, then you shouldn’t listen to this.
2) If you don’t drink, then you can start listening at 10:05, because Tim gives an intro to his talk and talks about how minimize the effects of drinking at these events until this time in the recording.
