The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss. “Everyone’s looking for rules to follow, and the sooner you realize there aren’t any, the better art can be.”– Jerrod Carmichael Jerrod Carmichael is pushing the boundaries of comedy with his groundbreaking work in stand-up, television, and film.
Now just 29 years old, what this driven North Carolina native has accomplished is mind-boggling, and 2017 is going to be his biggest year yet.

A design and usability blog: Signal vs. Noise (by 37signals) Back in June of 2013 I was at a The Starter League demo day and watched this kid named Jack present what he built in three months.
Impressive. Jack was confident, he was raw, he was rebellious, and he was clearly smart as hell. And he was just 19. After the presentation I turned to Neal Sales-Griffin, one of the founders of The Starter League, and said “Who the hell is this kid? I have to meet him.” After Jack’s Starter League experience, he applied to go to Starter School, the level-up program from The Starter League. A few months ago, Jack and the rest of his classmates graduated Starter School. I spent hours talking with them, getting to know them, listening to their stories, and hearing about their experiences.
I came away feeling like I just met an all-star team. I asked Jack to write up his experience at Starter School. Seth's Blog. We still teach a lot of myths in the intro to economics course, myths that spill over to conventional wisdom.
