My guest today is Tucker Max, an American author and public speaker. He chronicles his drinking and sexual encounters in the form of short stories on his website TuckerMax.com, which has received millions of visitors since Max launched it as the result of a bet in 2000.
The topic is success.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Covel and Max talk about their first meeting, and Max's brutally honest advice to Covel
- Diet and nutrition
- The NCAA, college athletics, exploitation, the media, and having to 'beat' the system
- Marginal cost and marginal product
- Entrepreneurial thinking and Max's early career
- Max's experience in marketing
- Protecting your independence
- Christopher Hitchens
- Facing rejection in publishing, and how rejection is part of success
- How success only teaches you to repeat what you did before, and failure forces you to think
- What drives Max today
- How the landscape has changed in regards to authors
- The fight for authority and trust in the publishing world
- What motivates Tucker Max today--the quality of relationships you have with other people, and what you do that matters to others
