Tim Ferriss Partners with InsideHook.com to Launch San Francisco Edition
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- InsideHook, the premium digital lifestyle guide that recommends unique products and experiences for established and adventurous men, announces its partnership with Tim Ferriss for the launch of its San Francisco edition.
Ferriss will serve as partner, advisor and curator for InsideHook's San Francisco efforts, selecting his favorite outdoor adventures, restaurants, gear and other discoveries for InsideHook's daily emails to its SF audience. Ferriss, leading entrepreneur, investor (Uber, TaskRabbit, Facebook, Twitter) and the author of bestsellers, including the "4-Hour Workweek," joins actor and author Rob Lowe, who partnered with InsideHook to launch their Los Angeles edition in April 2013, and actor and director Ed Burns, who partnered with the InsideHook team to launch their New York edition in June 2012.
"When we started InsideHook, we always compared the limitations of New York to San Francisco, where you can ski and surf in pretty much the same day. We founded InsideHook because we realized we actually could find amazing experiences here, but we were just too busy to actually figure out what they were and how to do them," said Andy Russell, co-founder. "It wasn't until a year later that we realized that all of our friends in San Francisco felt the same way. They weren't taking advantage of the nuances of the city because they had their heads down, working and falling into the same routines. That's when we realized that InsideHook would be just as vital to the San Francisco guy as it has become for New Yorkers – so we started InsideHook San Francisco."
To celebrate the San Francisco launch and highlight the types of activities he would be curating, Ferriss recently joined the InsideHook team for a "Day Out" in San Francisco to experience activities such as a visit to WellnessFX Blood Analysis (cutting edge resource for analyzing your health), SideWalk Juice (freshest juices in SF), San Francisco Street Art Tour (custom tour of SF's most renowned graffiti installations), a session at Mission Cliffs (rock climbing), and having lunch at Salumeria.
"I created my series of '4-Hour' books because I believe people can design an ideal lifestyle, reverse engineer the best of all worlds. I recognized immediately that InsideHook has a shared mission to share hidden gems and uncommon solutions (often with style). I partnered with their team because I believe in what Andy Russell and Jonathan Keidan have created," said Ferriss.
InsideHook's email recommendations were previously only available in their Los Angeles, New York and National editions. Now San Francisco readers can enjoy exclusive insight and offers specific to their West Coast hometown, with Chicago soon to follow in the coming months. Subscribers to the San Francisco edition will receive daily tips and insider information such as:
- Shelter Co.: A luxury camping service that'll create a custom campground for you on Little Venice Island (and other nearby destinations).
- Big Sur Roadhouse: This new Cajun restaurant cheffed by NOLA expat Matt Glazer is footsteps away from the Esalen Institute and its on-premise hot springs. They're conveniently open till 3 AM.

In 2012, Andy Russell (partner at Bob Pittman's Pilot Group, led the investments in Daily Candy, Thrillist, and TastingTable) founded Trigger Media and co-founded InsideHook– the first media brand under Trigger – with seasoned entrepreneurs Jon Keidan (former COO of Jack Welch Management Institute) and Nick Michlewicz (formerly McKinsey & Company), and new CEO Aly Racer. Currently, InsideHook publishes New York, LA, San Francisco and National editions, with plans to launch in Chicago this year.
