Listen Later

If you're interested in writing a fable, this podcast interview is a must-listen. Join me as I chat with Patrick Lencioni, the G.O.A.T of business fables and the author of 12 books that have sold over 7 million copies. During this interview, we discuss the ins and outs of writing great fables.

First, we explore how Patrick's experience writing screenplays helped him get started as an author and write better fables. We also delve into why you should write a fable instead of a traditional non-fiction book.

Additionally, we cover the five core elements of writing great fables, including how to do character development and structure your characters to be realistic. Patrick also shares his advice on anticipating the objections of your readers and answering them in a fable through your characters.

We then discuss the difference between plotters and pantsers and which one Patrick identifies with. Finally, we explore Patrick's newest book, "The 6 Types of Working Genius," and how you can use your genius to write and publish a better book.

If you're interested in writing a fable, Patrick's insights and expertise will be sure to inform and inspire you. Don't miss this content-rich episode, and be sure to let us know what you think in the reviews!
