Hey, this is Michael Kaz, and on this podcast, I explore ways of living a more wholehearted and fulfilling life.

I believe in the saying that what is most personal is most universal. On this podcast, you will hear

personal stories of struggle and challenge and what I and my guests have learned from those

experiences. You will hear ideas and concepts that expand your mind on topics like personal

development, health, adventure, and sex and relationships. Above all, my intention is to bring a

depth of conversation and stories to connect more with my guest and with you.

Hey, what's up? I've got a great episode for you today. On the show today is Tucker Max. Tucker

has written four New York Times bestselling books, three that hit number one. And together,

they've sold over four and a half million copies worldwide. He is credited with being the

originator of the genre fratire and is only the fourth writer,

along with Malcolm Gladwell, Brunet Brown, and Michael Lewis to have three books on the New York

Times bestseller list at one time. He co-founded Scribe Media, along with my buddy, Zach O'Brien,

who I had on the show recently,

which is the premier publishing company that has helped people like David Goggins,

bin Bergeron, et cetera, published their books. He was nominated to the Time magazine 100

Most Influentialist in 2009, and he's just a hilarious and awesome human. Today we start out talking

about what it makes a great coach or leader or teacher. Tucker has done a shitload of

depth work, talking to therapists and coaches in his own journey. And he also has a very

high intellect. So his ability to analyze what makes a great coach, I feel like is very valuable.

We talk a lot about writing well. He's one of the most compelling and interesting authors I've ever read.

And we talk specifically about how to choose what to write about, who to write for, specific

ways of improving your writing.
