Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

#809: The 4-Hour Workweek Tools That Still Work — The Art of Refusal and The Low-Information Diet 1:20:31

vor 5 weeks1:20:31

1:20:31

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek . Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what wouldn’t I change? What stands the test of time and hasn’t lost any potency? This episode features two of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek . The chapters push you to defend your scarce attention—one by saying no to people, the other by saying no to excess information. Sponsors: David Protein Bars 28g of protein, 150 calories, and 0g of sugar : https://davidprotein.com/tim (Buy 4 cartons, get the 5th free.)
