SHOW INTRODUCTION:
Today I’ll be talking with Kamal Ravikant, self-published phenom, poet, entrepreneur, and investor, and one of my all-time favorite guests I’ve had on the show (he was also the first). He’s also the author of one of the most beautiful, brilliant, and important reads out there today, “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It”
And that’s just what I want to talk with him about today, about one simple practice and four simple steps that can completely transform your life. Plus we’ll talk about living like you’ve died, why being depressed is a good day, Coca Cola signs and Market Street, two last leaves and an open heart, and what in the world rubber snakes and Jesus have to do with anything.
