The Tim Ferriss Show
#95: Lessons Learned from Jeff Bezos, Reid Hoffman, and More

Phil Libin (@plibin) is the co-founder and executive chairman of Evernote.

Evernote has roughly 150 million users, and I personally use it at least 10 times a day. It is my external brain for capturing all the information, documents, online articles, lists, etc. in my life.

In this episode, Phil and I cover a ton. Here are just a few examples:

- Philosophical and performance systems: Stoicism, electrical brain stimulation, and more
- Phil's favorite lessons learned from Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), and Hiroshi Mikitani (Rakuten)
- Creating tech "for yourself" and Evernote's genesis story, leading to approximately 150 million users
- The best toast in Singapore, the best hamburger in Tokyo, and why "Goat Simulator" is amazing.
- Long-term (10,000-year) thinking and real versus imagined threats

More importantly, he digs into his "a-ha" moments, and what you need to do bring your next big idea to life.
