Episode notes

Finding the essence of complex ideas requires more than simple frameworks; it depends on the topic at hand. While a one-liner or three-part framework may work for straightforward concepts, much more nuanced explanations are necessary for complex subjects. It's essential to communicate ideas effectively enough to explain them in a casual setting, such as over dinner, rather than relying purely on succinct 'elevator pitches' which often oversimplify. Complex ideas, like those in fields such as quantum physics, may take longer to convey, yet they can still be understood in a broader context through a more extended dialogue. This approach signifies a deeper comprehension, allowing for richer discussion about intricate topics, making it possible to explain concepts like stability in a more accessible manner compared to a mere 30-second summary.

“I’ll never forget the first patient whom I ever saw die.”

Sheesh, what an opening line, right? Peter has an outstanding resume: he’s a medical surgeon, a Stanford grad, and a longevity expert with 25+ years of industry experience — not to mention, a published author who has sold over two million copies of his book, Outlive.

In a nutshell, Peter is a prime example of what can happen when you share your expertise through writing. And he’s going to help you get started.

In this episode, you’ll learn how Peter wrote his first book — frameworks, strategies, how he packages industry expertise in a way that’s digestible for the masses — and how you can, too. If you’ve been burning to turn your expertise into a bestseller, this episode is for you.
