My friend Ramit Sethi mentioned me and Museum Hack on the very awesome Tim Ferriss podcast, episode 210.
Here’s a transcript of their chat and link to the full podcast episode.
Transcript
Ramit Sethi: I heard one of those most interesting pieces of advice recently and it blew up something I believed my whole life. So my friend Nick Gray runs a company on museums and he takes people in museums and he gives them tours that are really cool and he was talking about how he goes to a museum himself.
Ramit: And he said, if I go to a museum I spend 90 minutes max and the first 30 minutes are in the cafe planning where I’m gonna go. And I’m sitting there saying, wait, what? And I said what do you mean?
Ramit: The way I was raised, we would go to a museum maybe once every 5 years, maybe, as kids. We’d save up our money to go there and we would spend 7 hours going every level cause we knew we were never going to go back and what Nick was saying was, in so many words, was have the abundance to know that you can go back and don’t think that it’s once and done. And also know that, leave at the peek. There’s power at leaving at the peek.
Ramit: And it blew my mind to think that my whole life until that point, 34, gotta go through every single thing and check the box, but really he’s talking about curation, he’s talking about abundance all in a simple one sentence example.
Tim Ferriss: I love it!
