这篇博文总结了蒂姆·费里斯播客对克雷格·莫德的采访。克雷格·莫德是一位居住在日本东京和镰仓的作家、摄影师和徒步旅行者，著有《事物变成其他事物》和《喫茶店之旅》等书。他曾在日本徒步旅行数千英里，并与凯文·凯利共同组织了多次“行走与谈话”活动。
采访中，莫德分享了他对慢生活、数字排毒和可持续创作的理念。他谈到了自己长达数月的徒步旅行经历，以及如何通过这些旅行体验生活，并从中获得灵感。他强调了在徒步旅行中培养无聊感的重要性，以及如何通过限制信息获取来提升专注力。
莫德还分享了他出版书籍的经历，以及如何选择小规模、可持续的创作模式，而不是追求大规模的商业成功。他谈到了自己建立会员制度的经验，以及如何通过这种方式获得创作自由和经济独立。
此外，莫德还讲述了他为《纽约时报》推荐日本盛冈市的故事，以及由此带来的短暂的媒体关注。他与日本著名电视明星田森一起在盛冈徒步旅行，这段经历让他感受到了前所未有的关注。
最后，莫德分享了他与生母重逢的故事，以及他对未来计划的思考。
采访中还涵盖了莫德的徒步路线、书籍、电影、人物、地点以及一些概念，例如“六叠榻榻米房间”、“慢行规则”、“会员制度”等等。 总而言之，这是一次关于慢生活、数字排毒、可持续创作以及对生活意义探索的精彩访谈。
“I would finish every day on these walks, get in bed, and just feel that was the fullest possible way I could have experienced that day. Given the cards dealt to me of this day, there was no fuller version of this day.”

As promised, welcome to round 2 with Craig Mod!
Craig Mod is a writer, photographer, and walker living in Tokyo and Kamakura, Japan. He is the author of Things Become Other Things and Kissa by Kissa. He also writes the newsletters Roden and Ridgeline and has contributed to The New York Times, The Atlantic, Wired, and more.
He’s walked thousands of miles across Japan, and since 2016, he has been co-running “Walk and Talks” with Kevin Kelly in various places around the world: the Cotswolds, Northern Thailand, walking across Bali, Southern China, Japan, Spain (Portuguese and French Caminos), and more. He’s a MacDowell fellow, Virginia Center for Creative Arts fellow, and Ragdale fellow.
In 2023 he wrote an impassioned recommendation of Morioka, Japan, to The New York Times, prompting the paper to rank the city number two (behind London) for “Places to Visit in 2023,” turning Mod into a minor celebrity. He sat for interviews with some forty or fifty newspapers and TV shows, trying to explain the goodness of a city like Morioka to people for whom the goodness is so self-evident that it has become invisible. This whole media dance culminated in his going on a two-day walk around Morioka with one of Japan’s biggest TV stars: the seventy-nine-year-old, sunglasses-wearing Tamori -san, who was lovely (and very tiny!). The response—a total heartfelt reverence for the avuncular Tamori—from people on the street (“Good morning, Tamori -san!,” yelled construction workers from atop their scaffolding) made Mod feel like he was walking with John Lennon. Mod’s moment of celebrity was mercifully short-lived. Nobody recognizes him anymore when he walks around town.

本文总结了蒂姆·费里斯秀（The Tim Ferriss Show）第802期对作家、摄影师和徒步旅行者克雷格·莫德的访谈。
莫德现居日本东京和镰仓，著有《事物变成其他事物》和《喫茶店之旅》等书，并撰写《Roden》和《Ridgeline》两份时事通讯。他曾为《纽约时报》、《大西洋月刊》、《连线》等杂志撰稿。他走遍日本数千英里，自2016年起与凯文·凯利合作在世界各地举办“行走与谈话”活动。
2023年，莫德在《纽约时报》上热情推荐日本盛冈市，促使该报将盛冈市评为2023年“最佳旅游地”第二名（仅次于伦敦），使莫德成为小有名气的名人。他接受了大约四五十家报纸和电视台的采访，试图向那些对盛冈市的美好习以为常以至于视而不见的人们解释这座城市的美好之处。这段媒体经历的高潮是他与日本著名电视明星79岁的田森一起在盛冈市进行了为期两天的徒步旅行。人们对田森的热情回应让莫德感觉像是在和约翰·列侬一起散步。莫德的名人时刻转瞬即逝，现在没有人再认出他了。
访谈中，莫德谈到了他在日本的经历，包括社会对人们的照顾，以及他在日本的生活和工作。他还分享了他克服困难，建立自信，以及在创作和生活中获得满足感的经验。访谈还涵盖了他对写作、旅行、设计和生活的思考。 最后，访谈还介绍了莫德的书籍、时事通讯以及其他相关资源。
“Part of what was great about Japan was that as soon as I landed, I felt a few things. One was society was taking care of people. I was walking past so many people every day in the street who were so much better taken care of than where I came from.”

“In general, language learning is easier if you have a musical background. And I grew up all through my teens obsessively playing drums, just drumming, drumming, drumming, playing jazz, playing classical, playing in big band orchestras, playing everything.”

“The amount of scarcity I felt as an adult in my twenties is just shocking. It was this fathomless sense of scarcity, like the money’s not going to be there, the love isn’t going to be there, the support isn’t going to be there. And then when I lost her, I was like, I’m never going to have anyone who will ever love me like this person loved me, and I’m never going to be able to create like I created with this person. And I had to start proving to myself that that wasn’t true.”

这篇访谈记录了Tim Ferriss与Ev Williams（Blogger、Medium和Twitter联合创始人）的对话。访谈涵盖了Ev Williams的职业生涯、对科技行业的见解以及他最新的社交网络项目Mozi。
核心观点：
创造力并非计划产物： Williams认为，像发明电脑或Twitter这样的创造性工作无法预先规划，过多的计划反而会限制可能性。他将创造过程比作写作或绘画，需要在过程中不断探索和调整。
战略性放弃的重要性： Williams强调了“战略性放弃”的重要性，认为及时放弃不合适的项目或方向，才能腾出精力去追求更有价值的机会。
Mozi的理念： Mozi旨在回归线下社交，重新定义“社交”的含义，强调真实的人际连接而非单纯的线上互动。
个人成长与反思： Williams分享了他通过Hoffman Process等方式管理情绪、提升自我认知的经验。
其他内容：
访谈还涉及了Twitter的起源、Medium的经验教训、对人工智能时代的思考，以及Williams推荐的书籍等。 访谈中穿插了对赞助商David Protein Bars、Sundays for Dogs和Wealthfront的介绍。 最后列出了访谈中提到的书籍、公司、人物和概念等详细信息。
总而言之，这是一次关于创造力、创业、个人成长和科技未来发展富有洞见的访谈。Williams分享了他宝贵的经验和独特的视角，为听众提供了许多值得思考的内容。
“You can set a goal to run a marathon, and you can download a training regime, and you can go run the marathon. You can’t do that to invent the computer or Twitter or create amazing art. You can’t plot it. And to the extent you try to plot it, you shoot yourself in the foot because you cut off the possibilities that lie before you.”

This episode is brought to you by Sundays for Dogs, ultra-high-quality dog food without the prep or mess! I want to give my pooch, Molly, the best of everything. This is especially true when it comes to the ingredient quality of her food. But most healthy dog foods are an expensive, frozen mess. They’re a hassle to thaw and serve, and the prep work eats up time I’d rather spend hiking with Molly. Sundays for Dogs solves my problem with air-dried, high-quality dog food I can store and pour right from my pantry.
The magic behind Sundays for Dogs is in their proprietary air-drying method. To lock in nutrients, they gently dry the meat, low and slow. Unlike other dry brands, which are filled with hyper-processed grains and synthetic vitamins, Sundays for Dogs uses only all-natural poultry and USDA-grade beef. And meat makes up 90% of their recipes. The other 10% are fruits and veggies, ingredients you’d find at the farmer’s market, not at the pharmacy.
Get 50% off your first order of Sundays for Dogs by going to SundaysForDogs.com/TIM or by using code TIM at checkout. Upgrade your pup to Sundays for Dogs and feel great about the food you feed your best friend.

这篇博文总结了蒂姆·费里斯秀（The Tim Ferriss Show）第799期对维塔工作室（Weta Workshop）联合创始人理查德·泰勒和艺术家格雷格·布罗德莫尔的访谈。
核心内容：
泰勒强调培养下一代创造者至关重要。 他认为动手制作和创造的能力正在流失，因此培养孩子们的创造力刻不容缓。他分享了自己成功的四个准则：热爱自己、热爱工作、热爱与谁共事以及热爱为谁工作。
布罗德莫尔认为艺术的本质在于寻找真理，而不仅仅是绘画和讲故事。 他描述了自己的创作过程，强调在不确定方向的情况下勇于尝试的重要性。
访谈涵盖了维塔工作室的成功历程，包括参与《指环王》等众多知名电影的特效制作。 两位嘉宾分享了他们在工作中的经验、挑战以及对艺术和创造力的独特见解。布罗德莫尔还介绍了自己的新作品——以史前时代为背景的图画小说系列《One Path》。
访谈还涉及到两位嘉宾的个人经历、创作理念以及对艺术和人生的思考。 例如，泰勒早期使用人造黄油进行雕塑的经历，以及布罗德莫尔对艺术方向选择的哲学思考。

This episode is brought to you by Seed’s DS-01® Daily Synbiotic broad spectrum 24-strain probiotic + prebiotic; Our Place’s Titanium Always Pan® Pro using nonstick technology that’s coating-free and made without PFAS, otherwise known as “Forever Chemicals”; and AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement.
This episode is brought to you by AG1! I get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1, my all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG1 further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and the immune system.

That’s up to a one-year supply of Vitamin D as added value when you try their delicious and comprehensive daily, foundational nutrition supplement that supports whole-body health.
This episode is brought to you by Our Place’s Titanium Always Pan® Pro. Many nonstick pans can release harmful “forever chemicals”—PFAS—into your food, your home, and, ultimately, your body. Teflon is a prime example—it *is* the forever chemical that most companies are still using. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to major health issues like gut microbiome disruption, testosterone dysregulation, and more, which have been correlated to chronic disease in the long term. This is why I use the Titanium Always Pan Pro from today’s sponsor, Our Place. It’s the first nonstick pan with zero coating. This means zero “forever chemicals” and a durability that will last a lifetime. That’s right—no degradation over time like traditional nonstick pans.
This pan combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron, and nonstick into one product. It’s tough enough to withstand the dishwasher, open flame, heavy-duty scrubbing—even metal utensils—without losing any of its non-stick properties. Go to FromOurPlace.com/Tim and use code TIM to get 10% off sitewide.
This episode is brought to you by Seed’s DS-01 Daily Synbiotic! Seed’s DS-01 was recommended to me months ago by a PhD microbiologist, so I started using it well before their team ever reached out to me. Since then, it’s become a daily staple and one of the few supplements I travel with. I’ve always been highly skeptical of most probiotics due to the lack of science and the fact that many do not survive digestion. But after incorporating two capsules of Seed’s DS-01 into my morning routine, I have noticed improved digestion, skin tone, and overall health. Why is it so effective? For one, it’s a 2-in-1 probiotic and prebiotic formulated with 24 clinically and scientifically studied strains that have systemic benefits in and beyond the gut. And now, you can get 25% off your first month of DS-01 with code 25TIM.
Want to hear another podcast episode with a prolific artist? Listen to my first conversation with Todd McFarlane, in which we discussed the art of compelling storytelling, meeting deadlines, Todd’s voluminous library of rejection letters, how the industry status quo led to the founding of Image Comic Books, the happy accident that brought Venom to life, spaghetti webbing, competitive bladdering, and much more.

“I realized you need to care about the work deeply. It is your baby. You have to care about it. And if you don’t care about it, the work won’t be any good. So you cannot become cynical to the work, you have to love it, and you have to be able to let go of it.”
— Greg Broadmore
“I love learning by doing. It’s the only way. The act of illustrating or being creative, in general, I find most interesting when you don’t actually know where you’re going exactly, and you don’t really know how to do it. You just throw yourself into it and do your best, and I love that process.”
— Greg Broadmore
“Why choose any creative direction? This is a whole big metaphysical thing. There’s actually, I think, two distinct directions in which people create stories and narratives and worlds. One way is directed where you know where you’re going to go, you know the ending. The other way, which I’ve discovered I do, more often than not, is I’m just chasing these ‘why?’ questions.”
— Greg Broadmore
“What is art about? It is more than just drawing pictures and making stories — it is finding truth.”
— Greg Broadmore

这篇访谈记录了Tim Ferriss与加州大学戴维斯分校生理学和膜生物学系教授Keith Baar博士的对话。访谈主要围绕肌腱健康、损伤修复以及相关训练方法展开。
Baar博士的研究领域包括：
访谈核心内容：
访谈还涉及其他主题，例如： mTOR通路、IGF-1、生长激素、最小有效剂量、耐力训练、恢复期、应力遮蔽等。 访谈中穿插了Baar博士对一些常见误区的纠正，以及他对于肌腱损伤治疗和恢复的实用建议。 最后，访谈还推荐了一些相关的研究论文和资源。
Dr. Keith Baar is a professor at the University of California, Davis, in the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology.
During his PhD studies, his research revealed that mechanical strain on muscle fibers activates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, a crucial regulator of muscular hypertrophy.
Subsequently, he studied the molecular dynamics of skeletal muscle adaptation to endurance training under the guidance of Dr. John Holloszy, a legend in the field of exercise physiology, considered the father of modern exercise biochemistry.
Building on all of this experience, he conducted research into tendon health and the potential for engineering ligaments, which could have implications for treatment and recovery from injuries.
Dr. Baar now runs the Functional Molecular Biology Lab at UC Davis. His lab’s work ranges from studying molecular changes in our cells to conducting studies to effect real-world improvements in people’s health, longevity, and quality of life.

“The number one cost to the US medical system is actually musculoskeletal sprains, strains, and tears—the back and the neck as well as the rest of the body. It’s more than diabetes and heart disease combined.”
— Dr. Keith Baar
“If passive flexibility were really important for decreasing tendon injury, then the women’s gymnasts who have the most passive flexibility wouldn’t be the NCAA sport with the highest rate of Achilles tendon rupture.”
— Dr. Keith Baar
“Injury related to flexibility is a U-shaped curve. So our injuries are really high when we’re very inflexible. When we get into that sweet spot where we have good mobility, we can do the full range of motion, actually the injury rate is very low. If we become hyper-mobile, we actually have that injury rate go up as well.”
— Dr. Keith Baar
“We don’t use a ketogenic diet if we want to go fast, but if we’re training for life, we see that it increases longevity, that the ketones themselves are really good for brain function.”
— Dr. Keith Baar
“The first recorded immobilizer for an ankle or a leg is from Egyptian hieroglyphs, where they showed pictures 4,500 years ago. If I took you and you said you had cancer, you would not want a treatment that was developed 4,500 years ago. You would hope that something new had been developed in the last 4,500 years. That is where we are for our orthopedic situations.”
— Dr. Keith Baar
“The reality is that there are especially certain athletes like climbers where they’re doing all kinds of heavy lifts, they’re doing all kinds of heavy work, they’re doing all kinds of really dynamic moves. And what happens, what breaks down, is they break down in their finger tendons and they break down in the little pulleys within the tendons.”
