Who’s the episode for?
Tim is a lesson in how you can build a career following your own weird and wonderful curiosity, and has a phenomenal way to go deep and capture people’s interest. In this conversation we talk less about his interests and more about his process; how he started and grew Wait But Why, how he structures his writing process, how he manages his procrastination and why he thinks there is no objectively cool job. A great episode for creative people in corporate jobs, and content creators.
It’s on Spotify, Apple, Fountain and all major platforms.
Thank you so much again to those of you who have bought me a coffee to support the podcast - it means the world. Please support if you listen to the show ❤️
