Hear why Tim thinks it’s weird, and hear loads of other inspiring stories and ideas in this packed episode. Let us just lay it on you in points. Tim goes off entertainingly on:
-his lifelong obsessions with persuasion as leading him to a career in marketing
-dropping out of uni to the devastation of his parents without any real plan, and the pressure that put on him to make good
-how starting a marketing agency is not what you imagine
-college degree as a social-class symbol
-self-education, original ideas, and first break after multiple rejections
-childhood entrepreneurship and lessons, including the thrill or high of making sales and profit
-why capitalism is not well-defended for lack of moral arguments
-profit is noble and good (“leaving the world better than you found it”)
-almost all attacks on capitalism are on strawmen
-how the US is a geographically and culturally rich nation that few venture to see and understand
-the diversity of the US’s culture reveals the genius of federalism
-Tim’s upcoming “Happy Capitalist” podcast
-way, way more than this
