YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn this special episode of Power Hour to celebrate Fossil Future's launch week, I'm joined by wrestling legend and former MMA superstar Ben Askren. When Ben expressed interest in Fossil future on Twitter, I sent him an advance copy—which he read in full, and loved.
I asked Ben to come on the show to describe how the book impacted his thinking. I also asked Ben, known as one of the great innovators in modern wrestling, about the keys to his innovativeness—keys that apply to virtually any field.
This episode was both a thrill for me and a little surreal since as a longtime Jiu-Jitsu practitioner I've admired Askren from afar for many years. The fact that he responded to Fossil Future so positively is further confirmation to me that the framework and argument of this book are going to impact a lot of people's thinking for the better.
Here's the Amazon link to buy Fossil Future.
The resources are:
* My 90-minute discussion with legendary investor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel on the future of energy, security, and freedom. (Plus a bonus 10-minute follow-up discussion with Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus VR and of Anduril—a revolutionary new national defense technology company.)
* Access to my exclusive live event “How to Talk to Anyone About Climate Change”
* My 10-page “Alex Notes” book summary
* A 6-month premium subscription to my Energy Talking Points Substack ($50 value)
