The IVY Podcast

Tim Urban is the author of the popular blog "Wait but Why". Tim is the master of taking big — literally astronomical — questions, and bringing them back down to earth. His blog has attracted millions of readers, thousands of patrons, and famous fans like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, TED Curator Chris Anderson, and Twitter co-founder Evan Williams. Combining long-form prose with wry stick-figure illustrations, "Wait But Why" covers everything from procrastination and artificial intelligence to happiness and why we haven’t yet encountered aliens.

Last month, Tim spoke to the IVY community about “The Power of Creative Thinking.” He also sat down for an in-depth discussion with IVY’s Co-Founder, Beri Meric, covering topics from how to build a career doing what you love and how to find your audience on the internet; to the future of human consciousness and how to build a perfect holographic simulation of the universe.
