So instead of screwing around with looking at popular interpreters of science, I went right to the source.

And I got very good at it and developed somewhat of a reputation.

I also got really good at courting the media.

I found that the media loves a great story.

They love footage.

And they love solving a mystery.

So I could go to Good Morning America or the Today Show and say, I will send you live footage, professionally shot footage, and I will also deliver a great mystery for your audience.

And we often collaborated with media to fuel our audiences.

And that was a very cost-effective way of garnering attention.

First, I'd like to start with the philosophy.

I'm a big fan of Joseph Campbell, who suggests that you find your bliss.

I've been extraordinarily successful financially, but I've never chased money.

I've always done exactly what interests me, but I paid attention to the money.

It's a byproduct.

It's a product of having done what I love, and I get really good at it.

You start with books.

I've managed to write six New York Times bestselling books, these Blue Zones books, including the latest one, Blue Zone Kitchen, One Pot Meals.

I've sold 2 million books and I get a little piece of every one of those.

And then it turns out that if you write a thought leader book,

people want you to come speak to their groups and i learned not to get an agent a speaking agent because speaking agents tend to own you and take a really big chunk but be a free agent out there and really court the people doing the booking so i do about 50 to 100 speeches a year i get paid a lot for them because i know what audiences want to hear and most people want to live longer
