This comes from Tucker’s personal experience. - The two years he spent in Hollywood were the “worst two years” of his life; and is also where Tucker realized he wasn’t a “soulless, sociopathic, narcissist.” - Buddha’s “core principle” to “do your work, then help others do theirs” is Tucker’s guiding principle in life, and it’s taken him 42 years to truly understand the meaning and significance of it. - The reason he makes his clients at Scribe participate in “read-alouds” of their book before publishing is because he once read his own audiobook and realized how many things he would’ve changed, even though he edited the script on paper many, many times already. - A brand is a construction of who you are, so when people “rebrand” themselves, sometimes all it is is a reconstruction of people’s perception of you. - If you want real change, you have to really change.
