5-Bullet Friday

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of “5-Bullet Friday,” a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

What I’m watching —
World Chase Tag (@worldchasetag). Who knew parkour could be combined with tag to make a professional sport? This video has nearly 40 million views and gives you a taste of the action. I chanced upon World Chase Tag on NBCSN (@nbcsports). It makes you wonder what other disparate games and skills could be combined to make something amazing. Salsa curling competitions? Skeet falconry? Handstand hopscotch fingerpainting? So many options...

What I’m listening to —
Ya Habibi Ta’ala - يا حبيبي تعالَ - Lynn Adib & Zeid Hamdan. Lynn’s vocals are otherworldly. The first comment says it all: liquid gold. This is a short clip, and you will play it more than once.

What I’m using —
Ascent Cap in Optifade Subalpine. This is one of the lightest and most comfortable caps I’ve ever worn. Though designed for hunting, it’s perfect for nearly any outdoor activity, whether hiking, tennis, cross-country skiing, or other.

New word I’m enjoying —
Wegan /ˈwēɡən/ noun. Someone who follows a vegan diet, omitting all animal products except for wild-harvested meats. Put another way, a wegan diet is a vegan diet modified to include only wild-harvested meats. This term was coined by Kuʻulani Muise of Maui Nui Venison, as she, her husband Jake, and their three young children all enjoy a “wegan” diet but struggled to find a simple term to encapsulate it. Hence the invention of this word and “weganism.”

Lyrics I’m pondering —
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
While we spoke of many things
Fools and Kings
This he said to me:
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.”
— “Nature Boy” by eden ahbez, first performed by Nat King Cole

And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which bullet above is your favorite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Please let me know. Just send a tweet to @tferriss and put #5BulletFriday at the end so I can find it.

Have a wonderful weekend, all, and happy holidays to you and yours.

Much love,

Tim

P.S. In case you missed them, a slew of stars have appeared on the podcast in recent weeks, including comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld (this episode went nuts online); audience favorite Jim Collins; the CEO of Spotify, Daniel Ek; the president of Shopify, Harley Finkelstein; and the polymath of polymaths, Dr. Martine Rothblatt. The podcast is back to #1 Business.

2021 is going to be big. If you haven’t already, you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you find your podcasts.

Thank you all so, so much for listening this year. Doing the podcast has been one of my very few respites and saving graces amidst the madness of 2020. 🙏
