Episode notes

Struggle and pain often accompany the journey of self-improvement, and doubt plays a crucial role in motivating the pursuit of excellence. Settling for 'good enough' can hinder progress, whereas continuous questioning and striving for better outcomes leads to impactful results. Experience shapes writing; while youthful speed and spontaneity may wane, maturity often brings greater depth and thoughtfulness to the work. Loss of certain abilities can be offset by a stronger focus on nuanced understanding, demonstrating that growth can manifest in various forms, balancing what is lost with what is gained.

Robert went from being “a drunk, failed screenwriter” to writing seven bestsellers with millions of copies sold. Entrepreneurs, politicians, and hip-hop artists like 50 Cent all love his work. His secret ingredient? Storytelling.

In Robert’s eyes, story is a form of seduction. So, welcome to 76-minutes of seductive storytelling advice. You’ll learn how to write stories that have timeless resonance, swapping cute and clever for crisp and clear. You’ll dive deep into style, themes, research, and revision. And you’ll hear all the nitty-gritty details that make a story sell.

And his books have flown off the shelves. 48 Laws of Power has sold millions of copies, and is as popular today as it was when it came out 25 years ago.

If you want behind-the-scenes storytelling advice from a seasoned bestselling author, this episode is for you.
