Today’s guest is easily one of Dan and Ian‘s favorite writers online.

Tim Urban is the man behind Wait But Why. He writes long-form, stick figure illustrated blog posts on a variety of topics. Better still, he has turned his own procrastination into success!

But, as you’ll find out during this episode, Tim is more than just a blogger. He is a business owner and all-around creative person. His blog has even attracted people like Elon Musk, who enjoyed ‘Wait But Why’ so much that he reached out to Tim directly to ask him to write about some of his projects.

In this week’s show, Tim shares the story behind the creation of his blog, his business partnership and what the future holds in store for him.
