Back in March of this year I made it out to New York City and I had the pleasure of meeting AJ Jacobs for a drink, well a coffee and we met at a vegetarian joint called Blossom. At the time I was planning to write a book (delayed, not canceled) and his advice was remarkable. During our conversation in NYC’s upper west side, AJ was the most humble and encouraging person I’ve met. He was willing to help out with my book and anything else he could.

In January I wrote a post about 12 people that I wanted to meet, and AJ was on that list. I’m so happy that even if I only met 2 of those 12 people, AJ was one of them. When I saw that Samantha Ettus and Gary Vaynerchuck did an interview with AJ I knew that it would be an amazing. AJ discusses his book The-Know-it-all, then The Year of Living Biblically, and his life of writing and as a human guinea pig.

Enjoy!
