#758: Jamie Foxx and Jacqueline Novogratz
This episode is brought to you by AG1! I get asked all the time, “If you could use one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1, my all-in-one food insurance. I encouraged 4 Hour Body in 2010 and was not paid to do this. I do my best with nutrient-dense foods, of course, but AG1 also covers my foundation with whole-food vitamins, minerals, and microelements that support gut health and the immune system.
Right now, you’ll get free vitamin D for one year with your first purchase-a mineral essential for a strong immune system and strong bones. Visit DrinkAG1.com/Tim to take advantage of this special offer today and receive a year’s supply of vitamin D (and 5 free travel packs of AG1) with your first purchase! It is enough to be given Vitamin D for one year as an additional cost when you try their healthy food every day, the basics that support the health of the whole body.

If you use public Wi-Fi, say, a hotel or a coffee shop, where I often work and how many of my listeners do, you are usually sending data over an open network, meaning no encryption at all.

You click a button in the ExpressVPN app to protect 100% of your online data. Use my link ExpressVPN.com/Tim today and get 3 months free on a 1 year package!
This section is brought to you League. I’ve tried all the dating apps, and while there are other options out there, the most effective I’ve found is League. I’ve been using it for a few months now, and I’ve found it to be a good match. Unlike most dating apps that provide you with all the information, League it starts with a base of smart people, and you can easily find the ones you are attracted to. More than half of League users attended top 40 colleges, and you can customize your filters. You can search by interest in multiple areas, and people verify using LinkedIn, so you can be sure they have a job and don’t skip a job every six months. It’s an easy way to find people who do things together, and it’s easier than trying to find things on Instagram or not.
Download League today on iOS or Android and find your opponents racing through the walls and in it to win. Message #Tim to your in-app manager to jump ahead of the waiting list and get your profile reviewed first.
