Ep 31: Tracy DiNunzio (Part 2), Founder of Tradesy, on Rapid Growth and Rapid Learning

Tim Ferriss (0:00)

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. I get asked all the time what I would take if I could only take one supplement. The answer is invariably Athletic Greens. I view it as all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it, in fact, in the four-hour body. This is more than 10 years ago, and I did not get paid to do so. With approximately 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced ingredients, you'd be very hard-pressed to find a more nutrient-dense and comprehensive formula on the market. It has multivitamins, multi-mineral greens complex, probiotics and prebiotics for gut health, an immunity formula, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, and much more. I usually take it once or twice a day just to make sure I've covered my bases if I miss anything I'm not aware of. Of course, I focus on nutrient-dense meals to begin with, that's the basis, but athletic greens makes it easy to get a lot of nutrition when whole foods aren't readily available. From travel packets, I always have them in my bag when I'm zipping around. Right now, Athletic Greens is giving my audience a special offer on top of their all-in-one formula, which is a free vitamin D supplement and five free travel packs with your first subscription purchase. Many of us are deficient in vitamin D, I've found that true for myself, which is usually produced in our bodies from sun exposure. So, adding a vitamin D supplement to your daily routine is a great option for additional immune support. Support your immunity, gut health and energy by visiting athleticgreens.com/tfs. You'll receive up to a year's supply of vitamin D and five free travel packs with your subscription. Again, that's athleticgreens.com/tfs, as in Tim Ferris Show, athleticgreens.com/tfs. This episode is brought to you by 5-Bullet Friday, my very own email newsletter. It's become one of the most popular email newsletters in the world with millions of subscribers and it's super, super simple. It does not clog up your inbox. Every Friday, I send out 5 bullet points, super short, of the coolest things I found that week, which sometimes includes apps, books, documentaries, supplements, gadgets, new self-experiments, hacks, tricks and all sorts of weird stuff that I dig up from around the world.

You guys, podcast listeners and book readers have asked me for something short and action-packed for a very long time because after all the podcasts, the books, they can be quite long. And that's why I created 5-Bullet Friday.

It's become one of my favorite things I do every week. It's free, it's always gonna be free and you can learn more at tim.blog forward slash Friday. That's tim.blog forward slash Friday. I get asked a lot how I meet guests for the podcast, some of the most amazing people I've ever interacted with.

And little known fact, I've met probably 25% of them because they first subscribed to 5-Bullet Friday. So you'll be in good company. It's a lot of fun. 5-Bullet Friday is only available if you subscribe via email. I do not publish the content on the blog or anywhere else.

Also, if I'm doing small in-person meetups, offering early access to startups, beta testing, special deals or anything else that's very limited, I share it first with 5-Bullet Friday subscribers.

So check it out, tim.blog forward slash Friday. If you listen to this podcast, it's very likely that you'd dig it a lot. And you can, of course, easily subscribe anytime. So easy peasy. Again, that's tim.blog forward slash Friday.

And thanks for checking it out. If the spirit moves, yeah. Well, this is Tim Ferriss. Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show. This episode is brought to you by The Tim Ferriss Book Club. Check it out on Audible. These are books that have had a huge impact on my life. audible.com forward slash Tim's Books.

What you're about to hear is part two of a multi-part conversation with Tracy DiNunzio, founder and CEO of Tradesy. She talks about hustle, she talks about lessons learned, she talks about big mistakes made, and above all, she talks about perhaps learning to fly after jumping off of the cliff. She's very impressive. If you didn't catch the first part, you might want to do that before venturing in, but if you don't mind your stories as more of a jigsaw puzzle, then by all means, keep on listening.

The questions bounce all over the place, so chances are you could get value out of this even if you don't listen to part one. So without further ado, please enjoy part two of The Tim Ferriss Show with Tracy DiNunzio.
