I’ve been a fan of Tim Ferriss since the 4-hour-work-week, a book about being more productive with your time and becoming part of the ‘new-rich’. Tim does experiments in lifestyle design, from outsourcing your life to firing your customers.

What really interest me about Ferriss is his insatiable desire to learn how things work or maybe more specifically, how we learn. He is fluent in 6 languages and has some rather unorthodox methods for learning that he claims can make you fluent in as little as 3 months.

And Kevin Rose, founder of Digg.com among other things (rev3, pownce) – the fresh faced poster boy of web development.

I’m not sure how Tim and Kevin came together to do this video series but I’m glad they did. In this video Kevin explains how he got scammed by some Chinese ‘art students’.
