I was thinking this man was going to talk about writing a podcast, my mistake, new here. That being said, very interesting episode and full of interesting tidbits. You have a new subscriber.

The advice given here is applicable to everyone who wants to be successful at whatever they are good at. Simple rules for success driven people: 1. Get good at something. 2. Be disciplined, just like you state in this video. The difference between people like Seinfeld and most of us is that he wanted success at all cost and sacrificed to achieve it. Most of us want it, but not at the expense of other things in life. Like you say, the distractions. Love this video!

No clue why I was recommended this, BUT IM GLAD I WAS! Great video

I wonder if that involves multiple switches withing the writing process of the same essay or if you have to say in "baby" phase till all the content and all the fluff is on the page

I’m three minutes in and I want to say- “get good at something” and the focus on quality work-you’ve grabbed my attention with how good the first three minutes are.

Out standing👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 wish you had “bored” me w his process😎

Yeah, you just described a comedian's life. Most of our life is spent in solitude

"Make sure you fail doing exactly what you want to do"

Deep!

I'm not a writer at all and this is super inspiring. Great content.

Editing while writing is also stressful. Your mind wants to pour out ideas, but you're impeding that by trying to polish as you are sewing. One has to come first, you eventually have to come back to polish again coz the polish is going to be messy.

I wonder how many interview requests from Mr. Perel are hiding in Seinfeld's inbox😊

Every day David drops a new video I go to my best friend and thank him for introducing me to David about 4 years ago. David changes my life every day with his passion for writing and sharing his philosophy with the world.

Hey David , I found your channel few days ago and instantly it became my favourite❤. I'm just starting out as a writer & I've a dilemma . I've watched some of your podcasts and I can see 2 categories of writers - 1) Who are avid readers themselves, prioritised input more than output. Ex- Ted Gioia, Steven Pressfield etc. 2) Who focused more on virality of content , marketing, hooks etc. Ex - Sam Parr, Steph Smith, Shaan Puri etc. My question is if someone aims for long term & quality content , what are your suggestions for them? And , if there's a middle path, how to navigate through this?

We’ve interviewed hundreds of comedians about comedy and this is gold. Thanks David!

Culture is stagnant. And that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.

“World expert in jazz”? Sorry, that’s not a thing.

I pray Jerry sits down with you so you both can dig deeper to help aspiring writers, comedians, and really anyone struggling to get better at the craft they hold dear. Both of you are zeroed in on cutting through the BS lots of charlatans spout, and get into what matters, and what can actually help people not tomorrow, but today.

Fantastic job!

Thanks for an amazing breakdown.

My favorite part of the Jason Fried interview was when you guys geeked out over the founder letters. Nerd out anytime! I’m in.

"Writing is hard"

I'm looking at Friends, Monk, and Parks & Rec having top 20% in the last season on that same chart.

The difference between Seinfeld and the other shows, is no one outside of the USA knows it even exists or cares. Friends, House, The Office and so had global appeal and are still being watched in hundreds of millions of hours a year.

A lot of his notes come from joe budden podcast, Twitter and from other rappers

You make it sound like it's supply and demand economics rather than a creative decision. Shows have a premise and there's only so much creative potential. I'd argue Breaking Bad achieved the same thing from a creative perspective, even if Nielsen ratings don't happen to reflect it.

No it’s not. Friends, 2 slots up…just barely above that little circle you drew

So that's why real estate investors are restricting the supply of housing. To keep us wanting more.

Jerry Seinfeld was offered $110 million to make one more season of his show, but he said no. Why? Dosage. Even the best things get boring when they drag on for too long. Seinfeld says: "Leave the audience wanting more." Here are his rules for comedy: 1. Talent wins: "Get good at something. That’s it. Everything else is bullshit.” 2. Embrace the difficulty of writing: The problem with writing isn’t that it’s hard. The problem is that people want it to be easy, so they run away when it gets difficult. 3. Seinfeld's writing routine: Full focus, no distractions, do it every day. 4. Want to crush your creative spirit? Aim to make something that everybody will like. 5. "If you're efficient, you're doing it the wrong way. The right way is the hard way." 6. The work never stops: Good comedians are always looking for jokes. 7. Coming up with new ideas is important, editing is important, but it's important that you don't try to do both at the same time. 8. Cut the distractions when you write. No Twitter, no Instagram, no texting, no email. Seinfeld says: “You can’t do anything else. You don’t have to write, but you can’t do anything else.” 9. Distraction is the enemy. It's not just getting distracted during writing sessions that crushes productivity. It's building a distracting life that kills people. Seinfeld skipped the admin work, skipped the speaking opportunities, and skipped all the schmoozing that famous people get into. 10. Forget about your audience: The fountain of creativity cannot flow when the judgmental eye of your audience is top of mind as you're creating. 11. Write a lot, publish a little. 12. Never stop focusing on the craft: Seinfeld says that in most TV shows, the writers spend roughly half their time working on the show and the other half dealing with nonsense. But Seinfeld and Larry David spent 99% of their time writing. Just the two of them. With the door closed. That's just a taste. There's so much more in the video below. It's a 45-minute distillation of Seinfeld's writing process. Unlike most How I Write episodes, this one is a monologue, not an interview.

I would love to see your analysis/ breakdown on the Succession writing. Maybe you get a few of them in a room. Everywhere people talk about Succession they talk about the writing.

Leave people wanting more...I want more!

The Seinfeld 18-37 rule is fantastic. Google "Seinfeld 18-37" to get the details.

Love Jerry! Watching now!

Stunning interview well done both💥💥

why is there a robotic-sounding voice at 1:38:18 that says "A.I." in response to Ted's question? I find it weird and unnerving 😅

Very good! My grandfather was a writer (an important one) and a journalist, and he spent much more time reading than writing.

We all know that Ted is an intellectual. But this interviewer is super bright, super well prepared. It is heartening to see someone from a younger generation being so old worldly erudite. I am thoroughly impressed. This young man is going places.

So much of what he says about the music and entertainment industry aligns with Rick Beato.... then I find out that they know each other.

I think the 1800 thing Ted mentioned has an answer: The Immanuel Kant to Friedrich Hegel transition in Philosophy. Everything from Socialism to Romanticism to even The several movements in Painting can be traced to this moment in German philosophy, and its re-reading of the classics.

I have been telling coworkers , and family and employee's that the more you learn - the valuable you will be at your job for decades . I started my own manufacturing company in 99 - 24 years later sold it for millions . I'm a high school drop out at 17 to join the Marines. Injured at 18 with a honorable medical discharge. No money , no job and no education. I spent my 20's & 30's constantly learning ( really my whole life ) This is how I was able to be successful at what did - I actually knew what I was doing , the customers & suppliers knew I was a creditable authority in the metallurgical & semi conductor industry .

This video should have 500k+ views. Great stuff David and Jason!

I've followed this interview for the third time now! Thanks David.

one of the best twitter accounts

this was an incredible conversation. crazy that it only has 5k views. ty to you both.

Lenny has George Lucas vibes.
