Joseph Gordon-Levitt — Actor, Filmmaker, and Entrepreneur

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (@hitRECordJoe) is an actor whose career spans three decades, and ranges from television (3rd Rock from the Sun) to arthouse (Mysterious Skin, Brick) to multiplex (Inception, 500 Days of Summer, Looper, Snowden). He made his feature screenwriting and directorial debut with Don Jon (Independent Spirit Award nomination, Best First Screenplay). He also founded and directs HITRECORD, an online community of artists emphasizing collaboration over self-promotion. HITRECORD has evolved into a "community-sourced" production company that publishes books, puts out records, produces videos for brands from LG to the ACLU, and has won an Emmy for its variety show HitRecord on TV.

This podcast is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. I’ve been drinking this company’s mushroom-infused coffees and elixirs for years, and now I’ve got something new to share: Mushroom Matcha. It’s a green tea designed as a coffee alternative, perfect for those of us trying to cut back on caffeine without losing its associated cognitive boost. And for the curious and disgusted: no, it doesn’t actually taste like mushrooms.
Four Sigmatic Mushroom Matcha includes L-theanine, a relaxing amino acid that results in a feeling of balanced energy without giving you the jitters, and astragalus, an adaptogen known for its immune system supporting and stress reducing properties. You can try the Matcha right now, along with a combination of Four Sigmatic’s other flagship products, by going to foursigmatic.com/timtim and using code TIMTIM at checkout for a special listener discount!
