When it comes to Lifehacking, Productivity, and Getting Things Done in business and in life, there is a constant stream of content pouring out from a seemingly endless number of gurus and experts out there. That said, the more familiar you become with these worlds, two start to really stand out: Tim Ferriss and Gary Vaynerchuk.

Tim and Gary are two of the most successful self-made men in business and in life today, in no small part due to their willingness to share their thoughts, experiences, and learned expertise in entrepreneurship, personal development, and everything in between that has to do with achieving sustained success in business and in life.

In this inbetweenisode, I try to reconcile the seeming differences between Tim Ferris' approach to Gary Vaynerchuk's approach to social media, business, and entrepreneurship and the important lessons you can learn and immediately put to use to get the right balance of hustle and focus.

Follow Corporate Warrior on Social Media:

In this episode, we cover:

• The single biggest mistake critics of both Tim and Gary make, and why this matters
• The differences between how Tim Ferriss and Gary Vaynerchuck approach social media in the context of business and entrepreneurship – and what you can learn from both of them
• What you should take away from both Tim and Gary's approaches to get the best of both worlds
• … and more!

The intensity and adaptive resistance were unlike anything I've ever experienced. I love how the machine enables you to increase the negative load to fatigue target muscles more quickly and I love how the workouts are effortlessly quantified. The software tracks maximum force output, rate of work, total amount of work done and more in front of you on-screen, allowing you to compete with your pervious performance, to give you and your clients real-time motivation. As well as being utilised by many HIT trainers to deliver highly effective and efficient workouts to their clients, ARX comes highly recommended by world-class trainers and brands including Bulletproof, Tony Robbins, and Ben Greenfield Fitness.
