Tim Urban - Wait But Why

Tim Urban is the creator and blogger of Wait but Why, a website that is anti-click bait and extremely informative. Tim originally started his website on a bet because he knew deep down that other people, too, craved for meaningful and substantial content on the web. The idea worked! Not only does his content go viral, but he was able to get the attention of people like Elon Musk, and more.

[14:50] Tim shares his one piece of advice for any endeavor.

[15:45] What makes Elon Musk so unique?

[17:35] Don't be the cook that copies the recipe, be the chef who creates them.

[18:45] How does Tim get over the 'no one is going to read this' fear?

[19:35] Trust yourself. You can be great.
