I was introduced to selling at the age of 8. I was a Brownie selling Girl Scout cookies. That is when I discovered my gift of gab. We were taught as children to help others. I started to cook at five. When I was nine a 95 yrs old woman in our church needed someone to help her clean her house, my grandmother volunteered me and I would do it every week. One time I made her some cornbread, in those we cooked from scratch. She loved my bread so that chore was included with cleaning and she looked forward to eating my delicious cornbread every week.and it made me happy to see her happy . Yeah helping others is a GOOD THING.😊❤

I was the archival researcher for the Arnold Netflix series, and it was an honour to hear fans talk about how much they enjoyed the series. But Tim's questions in this interview are awesome. Hearing Arnold talk in depth about his heart surgery, his difficult childhood and life add further depth to his message of being useful. Thank you Mr Tim Ferris for allowing us to see further into the mind of Mr Schwarzenegger, a True King amongst Men. I look forward to reading his new book and reviewing it on my channel.

[@itszenawhile1719]

That must have been a fascinating project. How did you get that job, Arnie's the best!

[@geneg3776]

Arnold is really great at telling his stories and expressing himself. Can listen for hours👍

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Arnold's interviews are always epic. Thank you for another interview with this great man.

[@accuso]

Thank you, Arnold. You continue making this world a better place to live in.

HIS World not yours

[@nybe]

I absolutely love this man.

[@raisingbarssince1978]

The 4 hour work week guy interviews the hardest working man on earth

[@vs4571]

You mean 4 day workweek? And yes King Arnold is and always was one of thee hardest working men around.

[@jopa-slona]

Nope, 4 hour. That's a Ferriss' book

[@dperricone81]

If I worked a 4 day work week, I’d have more time to work on more important things

[@HaraldEngels]

Once I started to watch this interview I couldn't stop until the end. Arnold is a fantastic example of a lifelong learning and permanent adjustment. He is clearly the definition of "usefulness" and a rare role model in world full of egocentric wannabes. And for sure, he would have been a great US president.

[@mattpen7966]

Arnold talking about his surgery/recovery so candidly is amazing, really appreciate the humility

[@vincentd312]

For 50 years Arnold Schwarzenegger has been my hero. At 70 years of age, in the middle of a set when I feel like putting it down, I asked myself if he would do one more rep.

[@fredlifsitz7411]

Arnold continues to share of his life, beliefs and enthusiasm in ways that inspire others. It’s not about how great he is. It’s always about setting goals, shorterm and beyond. Simply a wonderful guy. A great American, Californian and neighbor.

[@Pelmeni97]

What an amazing podcast session! Thank you both for taking the time to do this. The amount of value that can be extracted from this is immense!

[@cirquemedia]

"Make your own luck" // Great interview and inspiration from an all-time living legend.

[@aaronscottmatthews7883]

There's something fascinating about seeing arguably the greatest action star of all time being interviewed through a cheap phone camera Powerful message on resilience. Thanks Arnold

[@outtrigger]

pretty disrespectful on arnold's part

[@TJ-015]

Typical with old age…old folks start to care less and less about what people think. I love it.

[@chrismullin8304]

Potatoes are hard to track.

[@The4thWayExperience]

Tim will take it anyway he can get it

[@geneg3776]

@@outtrigger enjoy the interview

[@qui_X]

40:59 so glad he mentioned painting. My dream/goal ❤

[@ZEvenEsh]

Arnold is the absolute MAN. I read his Education of a Bodybuilder in high school. I took the book out from the library from 10th through 12th grade and read the book hundreds of times, literally. GREAT interview, Tim.

[@ItsAJourney2023]

Such a charismatic man and a deep soul. I love all his interviews. Lifelong inspiration.

[@ivannnn_mz]

Arnold really opened up in this interview. Very heart felt.

[@andrejvirag]

Thank You Arnie very much! :) ❤

[@danstoj]

Wow never clicked so fast. Tim's first interview with Arnie is one of his best. Up there with Jamie Foxx.

[@vadimstolnik7114]

What a fantastic interview Tim 👏 to hear Arnold speak about how to deal with obstacles, loss or failure in life and shift gears to go forward, is jast gold. So much value in 1 hour that can change how you look forward in life.

[@TheJenZeman]

LOVE Arnold! Such an inspiration - cannot wait to read his book (being delivered today!). Thanks Tim!

[@Dany_23L]

@16:36 new catch phrases. Work hard! From my dad to you Arnie, Be positive! Thanks for the interview Tim. This is an important one for the fans.

[@Andrew-qc8jh]

One of my favorite humans, such a solid man

[@SergiyJust]

Great! 💙💛 Thank you for sharing with us such pearls of wisdom🙏

[@SomeTrader74]

Such a good interview of such a wholesome champion. This got me reflecting on what really matters in life - thank you!

[@korban007]

Thank you for a great Conversation. He had the amazing push early. I share that my brother is similar to his. I had extra responsibilities becuase of him. He had comfort brought front and center for him. He took easy and never took the harder route. He still struggles to this day when he had lots of time to figure it out. Thank You Arnold for pushing so hard when you made it look easy. The hard work together with working smarter paid off. Thank you for still continuing to push beyond. Help others what you dad said is an amazing message. And spiritual as the more you help the more you potential you get back. You are humble beyond belief

[@thelmajohnson985]

THE GREATEST YET🥰🤗❤

[@1patula]

Fair due, Arnold is a legend, he is very wise man, not something you would necessarily think up front. I felt motivated by your conversation Tim, you’re a bit of a legend yourself you know;) thank you

Wow.. I must say that I watched this with an admiration for Arnold that increases year on year and his philosophy has improved my life beyond anything I could have imagined… WELL DONE TIM

[@coachdan1235]

1:00:55 "200 lbs is 200lbs" I think Arnold quoting Rollins is my favourite thing I've heard in 2023

[@silas1414]

That section on ageing was powerful

[@Pieman29666]

The "I LIKE YOUR PERFUME" bit just broke me xD

[@nexovec]

A legend. Thank god, a living one.

[@Jojoma449]

I admire Arnold

[@appletvaccount1364]

My highest Kudos to the three doctors after open heart surgery, for having been able to keep a straight face. The watched Arnold go from waking up happily, to realising that he has a tube stuck down his throat, and being in life danger. This must have been the performance of a lifetime, I'm thinking Douglas Quaid / Total Recall.

[@foodbythewordmedia]

Massive insights from someone that has been a trendsetter for over 50 years!!! That is a very important reality 👏🏿!!!💪🏿💪🏿🙏🏿👍🏿

[@leemorrell9912]

I lam a huge Arnie fan. Love all his movies, and think he is such an inspiration to listen to.

[@Xodgilla]

I love Arnold. He's still an inspiration, and he's still a champion.

[@NAVEENCHAURASIYAA]

Amazing podcast with Arnie 💪🏽👍🏼✊🏼🗿

[@David-hc2qz]

Fantastic interview! Thank you!

[@seamuslynam4246]

Super interview. It was like chatting to a friend over a cup of tea.🏋️‍♀️👍

[@CashMoneyMoore]

Just finished his Total Recall book! Excellent

[@NotaNazgul]

A great read indeed, for many reasons.

[@JORGE-LUQUE]

Tim querido podrías subtitular al español!!??? Gracias hermanito te mando un abrazo gigante desde Córdoba Argentina

[@mittstewart5089]

Just pre ordered book on Amazon. Thanks Tim and Arnold for the inspiration

[@warrenography]

Aufgezeichnet!!! I have been a fan of Arnold's since I saw Conan the Barbarian on the ferry from France to England as a 10 yr old kid. The Netflix show and his biography are filling in lots of gaps and my admiration continues to grow. The newsletter is great, I look forward to it every day.

[@GH-fx1lg]

Ausgezeichnet.... if you meant to say excellent! 😉

[@tomas_marques]

Great interview. Thank you Tim.

[@genekent64]

What an AMAZING interview Tim! I loved how thoughtful all the questions were. I couldn't help but notice the Moonbird sticker on your Mac! :) I pre ordered the book already.

[@Jer-me7pj]

great interview, my appreciation for arnold has greatly improved and he is correct as i have used the same things in life and am almost 80 yrs young

[@marsdwarf]

Great interview, love the lessons from Arnold.

[@niruvision]

When Arnold talks about his brother and the perspective of struggles and challenge hit heavy. You do get to choose if things are in the way or on the way…

[@emilybarry9410]

I knew wearing my vintage golds gym sweatshirt today was a good idea! Great conversation Tim and Arnold 🙏 💪 ❤

[@CH4OffsetsLLC]

Great interview. You had meaningful questions that got him to talk about the message of his book and mindset without fluff questions

[@groovycarter]

One word: Awesome

[@plitschplatsch6524]

@timferris are you actually happy with these headphones? Seriously I would like to know. Great interview. Hopefully some of the values Arnold speaks of will inspire todays teenagers as well.

[@MilindBorkar_MENTOR]

Ordered, thank you both of you. Good vibes with all of you guys ❤️🙏

[@zeeshanahmad1078]

Thanks Tim. You are My Man.

[@uidentity]

The joke at 1:03:46 sounded like “I had so many women, you could be my grandson”

[@Cynthia_108]

I love Arnold. I don't entirely agree with his father's opinion that bodybuilding doesn't help others, especially on the scale that Arnold was involved. I began lifting in 1985, a time when everyone was inspired by him. He is quite a force. California was lucky to have him as governor (especially considering who they have now). Great interview, makes me appreciate him even more.🙏

[@leblancccc]

Hey. Thank you for this great interview. I immediately subscribed to the channel after I watched it. Can I use the part where he is talking about sales for my website as a reference and ofc. I will add a link to your channel and video ?

[@fereshtehmahdavi9527]

Thank you to America giving me everything ❤

[@lidzlights8540]

I don't give a rat's arse whatever the naysayers say that's bad towards schnitzel. I love you Arnold ❤💕

[@TheHulksMistress]

They’re just kids who hate having to behave like adults

[@MrDanilop45]

This is great

[@nda4591]

Very inspiring!

[@dian_youtubes]

be useful dream big dont be afraid to fail sell yourself

[@lovaa5645]

Great interview, I laughed a lot when he says THE SHOCK, I remembered when he said SHOCK the muscle. It should be a legendary quotes like I'll be back 😂😂

[@SvenGoldberg]

This was fantastic. Arnold is the best. Thank you for this podcast Tim, awesome.

[@Kytchin]

Arnold looked slightly emotional in this interview. His eyes were a bit teary talking about his late friends.

[@thewize]

Enjoyed in my garden, with a cigar

[@tipsfortransformation]

Such an inspiring interview, thank you @timferriss for making this happen. Be Useful is a hugely transformative motto (and Call To Action)!

[@bgrateful453]

Tim, can you please have Granger Smith on? Like a River book is incredible. 🎈

[@eternalincantation]

Tim really supports Arnold :)

[@Furor_Teutonicus14]

The part telling about Franco really touched my heart, especially he told about memories 🥺😔 I think in politics he is an absolute opportunist and it was the worst of his many careers and talent! I loved him at bodybuilding, i liked him in a few movies (Predator, Terminator 1,2, Twins, jingle all the way) but as a politician i can only say: screw your opportunistic way of policy! Anyways: Thank you Arnold being an inspiration and for being part of my childhood. Kind regards from Germany

[@Kaminoextragalactic]

“Work you’re ass off” vs “4 hour work week” right here 😂

[@DJSTOEK]

❤❤ 💪

[@winnanne1]

Don't forget that this is the influencer who went on social media and said to the American people, "Screw your freedom." And meant it.

[@MusickopatH]

Such a great man, we need More Hes kinda men with balls, not those WHO stay silent and follow themass and crowds and betray The mascunility and other Bolder guys because of fear and jealosy that is happening really much now

[@DieOrBlink]

This mans publicity tour is pathetic, forget him, forget his name, forget his book. I'll never not see or hear this man without thinking of his lovely quote in 2020 "Screw your freedom".

[@YoYo-gt5iq]

I want to listen to the rest right now but it's midnight, and I think Arnold would want me to go to bed

[@bigdawg2566]

Tim can you get Greg Hoffman in one of your next podcasts ? The goat of Nike’s marketing

[@scottyarellano]

You should ask Arnold about his Nazi father while exploring the concept of "Screw your Freedom"

[@army0314]

Let that sink in abit!!

[@mjmikaelson]

Great interview Tim!

[@oob3294]

THE GOAT!!! 💗

[@silas1414]

The casual fly swatting 😂

[@IvicaOS]

lol him hitting bugs with flyswatter 😂😂😂 what a beautiful, fantastic human beeing, I admire him like I not very often do anyone, her Shnitzel thank you and God bless ❤️👊🏻💯

[@tradingpoker1324]

Wow, this should be great

[@matthewmadonna6943]

[@TheHallway7]

Has anyone asked Arnold about his cigar smoking? I enjoy one every now and then,so I’m certainly not judging . But with his heart condition, I would think the doctors would not approve.

[@samantha-kemp-therapy]

Loved this - going to buy the book for my son whose 13 and just getting into training and acting

[@LivingProcess]

Brilliant as always

[@JPC33]

🔥👍🔥

[@tommyang1634]

Ability to default my consideration falls to distribute to multiple countries

[@karolmetal4256]

When Arnold doesn't talk about Trump or climate, he is a fucking boss

[@DeFi-Macrodosing]

We also need to check in with Silvester Stallone, he has a few insights and life lessons to share.

[@gronksteady]

I'd love to see that.

[@SkinnyMinnie377]

Legend

[@justintuccimusic]

[@williammillsap7446]

I don’t agree with some of his views but it’s hard not to admire him and what he has accomplished

[@YuriJonesLimaNeto-cv6mi]

The way that he talks about the surgery sounds so much funny

[@KelliMarieRiggsBriscoe-t8f]

He is basically a nice guy have met him and Maria. They made a wonderful couple and still make a great family grandparents for their little grand ones and kids. They will always have a great family circle together and harmony of love. People make mistakes no one is perfect and both these people treasure their family love of their kids and grandkids. Maria was and will always be the love of his life no matter what.
