Michael Lewis on Tim Ferris - Happy WPW

Good morning Lucy May, family, and friends:

It's a beautiful WPW in ATX and we are all super excited to be getting some real-life Sally and Taylor time starting tonight!

My Podcast this week is Michael Lewis on Tim Ferris here. Lewis is best known for Money Ball and The Big Short, but did you know he also wrote The Blind Side?

I am listening to the Ferris interview at least twice and then plan to check out Lewis' podcast (Against the Rules) and the season two material on 'coaching' released this week. Here is a description:
"His critically acclaimed podcast, Against The Rules, returns with season two on Tuesday, May 5. Last season, Michael explored the attack on referees in sports, financial markets, newsrooms, courts of law, and the art world.
This time around, Michael focuses on coaches: why the role of coach has expanded beyond sports in American life and why everyone seems to love coaches. Each episode examines a different kind of coach. From money coaches and voice coaches to college coaches and even the one who changed his own life, Michael delves deep inside the vast world of the coach. Can a good coach level the playing field? What is the secret to effective coaching? What role do coaches have in creating unfairness? Can everyone be coached or are some people beyond help?"
 Let me know if you also find this interesting.
