Episode 079: Tucker Max – Attracting Women & How To Write Your Book
Tucker Max is probably the most blunt human being I’ve ever spoken to. He will literally tell you exactly what he thinks at all times. I can appreciate his fearlessness when it comes to being transparent and open. This conversation/interview was one of the most challenging ones I’ve done throughout the entire podcast. With that said, I really enjoyed having the opportunity to speak with Tucker. I’ve read his books and think he’s incredibly talented. It’s been very interesting to see the growth in him as a person over the last 10 years.
Tucker has written three #1 New York Times Best Sellers, which have sold over 3 million copies worldwide. He is credited with being the originator of the literary genre, "fratire," and is only the third writer (after Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Lewis) to ever have three books on the New York Times Nonfiction Best Seller List at one time.
He received his BA from the University of Chicago in 1998, and his JD from Duke Law School in 2001. He currently is the CEO of “Book In a Box,” A company that helps you “Get your book out of your head.” They help people get their books written without having to type a word or deal with a publisher. Tucker lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife Veronica and son Bishop.
