Member Spotlight – Tim Ferriss

Being that two of us here in the office have spent the last few weeks devouring Four Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferriss, it only made sense to spotlight this Hot MyBlogLog member. 

Tim is a successful entrepreneur who has realized sizable wealth working only four hours per week.  However, now he is a writer and can stop saying that he deals drugs for a living (wink).  More than just a 30 year old rich guy, which is impressive enough, Tim is also the first American in history to hold a Tango Guinness world record, a National Chinese kickboxing champion (bested 4 world champions) and speaks several languages, including Japanese, Chinese, German, Spanish and his native tongue, English. 

Besides his book, which is amazing (my review of Four Hour Work Week), Tim is also a supporter of DonorsChoose.org, which is currently in the running to receive $5M of support from American Express. 

From the CEO of DonorsChoose.org, Charles Best:

...take 30 seconds and vote for our submission in the American Express Members Project.  We’re in the semi-finals to win up to $5 million, all
of which would go to classroom projects on our website. We’re up
against stiff competition, but if people vote off of this post this
week, we could pull off an upset victory. And improve the educations of
thousands of public school students. It would be huge.

I'm bummed that I didn't get to meet Tim at Community Next last week, since I only attended the Friday revelries, but I'm glad that I am able to let all of you know about this uber cool MyBlogLog member.  And, if your heartstrings have been appropriately tugged, please vote for DonorsChoose.org on the Amex site.  Take time to check out Tim's community and say hello on his profile. 

If you have a suggestion for a Hot Member, please Tag them as a Hot Member so that we can check them out too.  As always, you can also email me at robyn@mybloglog.com with suggestions too.
