I added a bonus bullet because it makes my eyebrows tingle. â Tech trick that Iâm loving ââ[Forget Siri. Turn your iPhoneâs âAction Buttonâ into a ChatGPT voice assistant instead](.â Hat tip to [Kevin Rose](), who first showed me this shortcut. I now use it daily myself. Note that only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have an âactionâ button. Do you have a favorite way of using [Shortcuts]() or the action button? Please let me know on Twitter ([@tferriss](=)) with #shortcuts! â
What Iâm drinking â[Brodo Bone Broth](. Brodo was founded by [Chef Marco Canora](), who many will recognize from his extensive appearances in [The 4-Hour Chef]() as one of my main teachers. Brodo has quickly become the most famous broth in NYC. The challenge for Marco has always been creating versions of his broths that (A) were shelf-stable, (B) met his high standards, and (C) didnât require refrigeration⦠which he finally nailed. My favorite flavors so far are his Tom Yum and Tuscan Sun, which are included in their [sampler box](. Though I havenât tried it yet, Marco offered that you can use a milk frother to buzz extra-virgin olive oil into Tuscan Sun and butter into Deeply Rooted to add calories and mouthfeel. For the Tom Yum, skip the added fat but squeeze in a dash of lime juice. For a little boost and nutritional insurance, Iâve really been enjoying one packet each morning. Confession: I do use the microwave instead of stove top.
â
Marco is the real deal, and he has the accolades to prove it: He won the James Beard Award (the equivalent of the Oscars in the cooking world) for Best Chef: New York City, and his first cookbook, [Salt to Taste: The Keys to Confident, Delicious Cooking](=) was nominated for a James Beard Award. For my friends near Manhattan, I recommend visiting Marcoâs restaurant, [Hearth](. â
What Iâm reading â[You canât hoard life]()â by [Oliver Burkeman](=), author of [Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals](=). Hat tip to [Chris Williamson]() for sending this to me. â
What Iâm listening to â[Wildcat](=)â ([YouTube](=), [Spotify](), [Apple Music](=)) by [Ratatat](. â
What Iâm excited about â[Global fan meetups](! To celebrate the podcastâs 10th anniversary, I am very excited to launch [fan-hosted meetups]( on Thursday, April 25th, around the world! âNow the ball is in your court⦠Would you like to host fellow fans of the show in your city? Nothing crazy required; any bar or venue that can handle a decent group could work. If so, apply to host [here](. Want to attend a meetup that someone else hosts? You can RSVP in your area even before a host is decided, so [please express interest now](! â
