Welcome to another episode of&nbsp;<a href="http://tim.blog/podcast?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=podcast-description" target="_blank">The Tim Ferriss Show</a>, where it is my job to sit down with world-class performers of all different types—from startup founders and investors to chess champions to Olympic athletes. This episode, however, is an experiment and part of a shorter series I'm doing called "Books I've Loved."&nbsp;I've invited some amazing past guests, close friends, and new faces to share their favorite books — the books that have influenced them, changed them, and transformed them for the better. I hope you pick up one or two new mentors — in the form of books — from this new series and apply the lessons in your own life.Steve Jurvetson&nbsp;(<a href="https://www.facebook.com/jurvetson" target="_blank">@jurvetson</a>) is an early-stage venture capitalist with a focus on founder-led, mission-driven companies at the cutting edge of disruptive technology and new industry formation.

I reached out to these Finnish entrepreneurs after a very talented acrobat introduced me to one of their products, which blew my mind (in the best way possible). It is <a href="http://foursigmatic.com/tim" target="_blank">mushroom coffee featuring Lion's Mane</a>. It tastes like coffee, but there are only 40 milligrams of caffeine, so it has less than half of what you would find in a regular cup of coffee. I do not get any jitters, acid reflux, or any type of stomach burn. It put me on fire for an entire day, and I only had half of the packet.You can try it right now by going to <a href="http://foursigmatic.com/tim" target="_blank">foursigmatic.com/tim</a> and using the code Tim to get 20 percent off your first order. If you are in the experimental mindset, I do not think you'll be disappointed.***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tim-ferriss-show/id863897795?mt=2" target="_blank">leaving a short&nbsp;review&nbsp;on Apple Podcasts</a>/iTunes?&nbsp;It takes less than 60 seconds, and it really makes a difference in helping to convince hard-to-get guests.For show notes and past guests, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://tim.blog/podcast/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=podcast-description" target="_blank">tim.blog/podcast</a>.Sign up for Tim’s email newsletter (“5-Bullet Friday”) at&nbsp;<a href="https://go.tim.blog/5-bullet-friday-1/" target="_blank">tim.blog/friday</a>.For transcripts of episodes, go to&nbsp;<a href="http://tim.blog/transcripts" target="_blank">tim.blog/transcripts</a>.Interested in sponsoring the podcast?
