I don’t do purely promotional posts often, but this is a special occasion — the premiere of my TV show! Special thanks to Brendan Gahan, who helped organized the below materials.
Sharing any of the below helps ensure I can film more episodes for y’all. Thank you in advance! Much more content coming (about Jony Ive, actually) soon.
Here goes…
IMAGES OF QUOTES & ANIMATED GIFS
If you feel so inclined, below are some images with quotes from the show as well as a few fun animated gifs for you to easily share. Please note, if you download the images and upload any of them your Twitter account directly, it will take up a bit more real estate in the newsfeed (and lead to more exposure for the show). Have fun and enjoy.

Comment Rules: Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That’s how we’re gonna be — cool. Critical is fine, but if you’re rude, we’ll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Brian Oberkirch for the inspiration.)
Great job Tim that was awesome seeing those principles in play, also how those pros got in on the act i mean Stewart Copeland and Foreigner. Awesome and inspiring.
Tim, I think it’s safe to point out a mistake
The second .gif you upload, that guy doing annoying things is a bass player, not a guitarist, otherwise, liked and shared
Hey Tim,
I saw the first episode of the show and absolutely loved in. I loved it so much that I shared it with my entire website audience (email list, private FB group, etc) and they all got value out of it too.
As a drummer myself I personally connected with the episode and can’t wait for further ones. I’d be happy to promote it some more.
Rock on,
Max

Hi Tim,
I really enjoyed your first episode but may I suggest you make it available to all of us entrepreneurs and lifehackers that don’t reside in the United States.
Best regards,
Victor Björklund from VictorBjorklund.com
That’s weird. I hit the reply under Victor, but instead it put my comment under Max’s.

I loved the contest you had on Twitter for the best quotes!
I’m surprised none of the Seneca quotes showed up, they were exceptional. I’ll definitely promote some of these where I can!
Looking forward to the show…
hi,
Just curious how to watch the premiere from Australia.?
Tim I love the show!
I wish I had seen this post early enough to attend the Twitter event. I have a lot of questions as I am still a bit confused when it comes to your methodology and how to apply DiSSS in real life. But this show is going to go far in helping me to break things apart into smaller, more manageable parts.
I have a small electric drum kit collecting dust in my closet that I have since pulled out. It seems that life is like the drums, if you remove all the “frills” and focus on what is important you can create music that really matters.
With experience, it may be the frills that differentiate the master, but so many of us avoid even attempting something complex because we become overwhelmed.
This episode was a great example of the process.
Thank you so much!
Stephen
Love the Bruce Lee quote you put in there.
Hootsuite is going to let me send a tweet out every half hour until bout 9pm… There ya go!
LOVED the preview! Hope it makes it onto Aussie TV!
Another great thought from the TV show came during the “Aha” moment. The gist was, “Learn to play the song first, don’t worry about learning to play the drums.” Great principle. It parallels using martial arts for language learning. Awesome show Tim!
How do you access the Tim Ferriss Experiment in Europe? (Doesn’t work: Amazon, iTunes, Youtube, Google Instant, Upwave).
Don’t leave the rest of the world out!
Are you still doing the show? There are only three episodes available in iTunes (plus one more you might get if you bought a season pass, but it’s not listed in the store.) I really liked it. What happened?
I cannot watch these in the UK 🙁 Is there a work around?
Tim,
First I love your podcast!! They get me through the hour long commute to work everyday. I have been binge listening so please forgive me for not remembering which guest (I think it was Kelly the PT) was talking about this line “shower, shave, sh*t..” it is actually from a rather obscure movie “Cadance” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101531/quotes thank you and please keep up the great work!!
