- ramraj07 5y agoNot to mention the blatantly self indulging attitude as well. Of course, he’s talking to people who are at the least millionaires if not more, so that’s expected, but some episodes just reek of tone-deaf “I’m smart and rich and have no idea how insensitive my hobbies and activities might sound to a Normal person” sense. But he does talk to a lot of smart people, and there’s often much interesting to learn about, so I put up with their egos and extract the information by listening.
- lc9er 5y agoFerris is kind of a grifter. If he were to probe deeply, then others might do the same to him.
- steve_adams_86 5y agoI try to remind myself that Ferris started out in marketing (as I recall) and it shows - he’s an aggressive self promoter. Even so, some of his guests are excellent and I enjoy his themes and topics.
- steve_adams_86 5y agoI agree, but I still enjoy some of his guests. His podcast can serve as a good stepping stone to other great people.
