#145 The real reason you haven't written that book yet with Tucker Max

The Unconventionalists with Mark Leruste

*Deep breath* This special episode of The Unconventionalists podcast with Tucker Max, 4x New York Times Bestselling Author and Co-Founder of Scribe Media who has sold over 4 million copies of his books, is by far the most vulnerable and raw episode I've released to date.

As you will see, sh*t got deep, real fast.

The interviewer became the interviewee as Tucker coached and helped me realise just how much some of my childhood trauma has been getting in the way of me writing me next non-fiction book.

It's raw, it's uncomfortable and yet I know this is the kind of conversations that made me want to start The Unconventionalists podcast back in 2015.

We talked about what you can do to get over your limiting beliefs and why the very reason you're struggling with writing your book is the very reason why you need to write that book.

We also talked about how every single author you know struggles with the same doubts and insecurities as you do. It's a universal experience of being human.

Trust me, if you've been thinking of writing a book but are currently stuck or procrastinating with no end in sight, this episode is for you.

In this episode you will learn why writing a book is not about knowing the ins and outs of how to actually write a book, but rather, why it's about facing your feelings and emotions that every author dreads to face.

But as Joseph Campbell once said, “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

Tucker even shares his own personal journey and what has helped him to date get over some of his childhood trauma as well as read parts of his personal journal on what he sees for 2021.

⚠️ Warning: this episode contains descriptions of sexual violence and strong language that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion advised as not suitable for children.

I really can't wait to read your comments on this powerful conversation and more importantly, learn what you're taking away and will implement to transform your life and business.

If you found this conversation helpful, please share it with one friend who needs to hear this to move forward with their book (or creative project).

Thank you and here's to being willing to be vulnerable in public.
