Tucker Max: The Price of Freedom, Dealing with Your Sh*t, & Finding a Wife | MMP #199

How do you possibly summarize Tucker Max's story? Let me give it a shot. Yes, he's sold millions of books. Yes, he's now living on a ranch. But, the details of his wild and illustrious life aren't easy to put into words. His first book was published in 2001. Unlike most ranchers, Tucker's first book has nothing to do with farming, animal agriculture, or growing your own food. No. Tucker's first book was called The Definitive Book of Pick-up Lines, which was then followed by Belligerence and Deba...

If you spend a few minutes, or hours (no judgment), scrolling Instagram, it's easy to tell there are a lot of people working on growing a following.

Since the average age of the American Rancher is nearly 60 years old, it's easy to understand why ranchers have been slower to leverage the power of the Internet to grow their businesses.

His untapped curiosity for the world of food led Myle...
