Bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell joins us for a fascinating discussion on the hidden factors that shape success, the power of storytelling, and why talent alone isn’t enough. In this episode, Malcolm reflects on his early days in journalism, the chance encounters that led him to writing bestsellers, and how unexpected moments can redefine a career.

We explore the balance of hard work and luck in success, the importance of curiosity, and why finding joy in what you do matters more than chasing status. Malcolm also shares insights into his writing process, the challenges of making complex ideas accessible, and the lessons he’s learned from years of research and storytelling.

Join us for an engaging conversation with one of the most influential thinkers of our time.

Each week, Tim and Troy will sit down with interesting people to have thoughtful conversations. The guests will range from celebrities, athletes, academics, doctors, authors, and more. As Tim battles his ALS diagnosis, nothing is out of bounds and there will be nothing left unsaid.
