Rules of Life
With AM Radio Host Buck Buckner

by

Looking for ways to improve your life?

Buck Buckner’s new book may be the next “big thing.”

Buck Buckner goes on tour “outside the bunker”

The reason? For one, Buck is just brutally honest. He calls it like he sees it and doesn’t look back. If you’re looking for apologies or over-explanations, Buck probably isn’t your guy. But if you’re interested in seeing the world through a guy who joyfully lives in a bunker, Buck’s approach may resonate.

More about Buck’s new book: 9 Rules of Blank. Building off the Pocket Guide to Bigfoot and The 10/90 Rule, the 9 Rules of Blank blazes new ground in the self-improvement field. In Buck’s own words, his list is deeply philosophical … or probably “phenomenal” is a better word. Eschewing traditional lists that generically start with the number 1, Buck hits the ground running with a vivid description of his trademark zeroth rule: The Belgian waffle.

And be prepared: Unlike his solitary soliloquies Inside “The Bunker,” the uncanny success of his new book the 9 Rules of Blank have taken him on a whirl-wind speaking tour in front of sold-out crowds.

The Great Debate
Has Burt Silver finally met his match?

by

Just when it appeared

Burt had the election in the bag …

A show down of ideologies

Merle Turkle bursts onto the scene. What’s Merle’s strength? For one, he knows his enemy, and he knows where to hit him where in counts. In the case of Candidate Burt Silver, that’s in the smoky boiler room where he gets most of his work done. Keep in mind: Not only does Burt do all his major negotiations around the card table, it’s also the primary source of funds that pays for his campaign. As good a politician as Burt is, Merle knows his only hope to defeat him is to trick him out of the smoky boiler room and early morning diners. But will Merle prevail, or does Burt have a trick or two up his sleeve? Moral of the story: For Merle the best defense is a good offense and for Burt it’s doing whatever it takes to make it back to the late night smoky boiler room night after night.

Interview Tips
with AM Radio Host Buck Buckner

by

Buck Buckner didn’t just happen …

He got where he is by interviewing well.

In this video, Buck unveils some of his top interview tips. Probably his biggest secret is just being confident, and being himself. If you’re confident in life (but not too over confident), a lot of things fall in place. Someone recently told me, if you want to do well on an interview — be prepared to get some wrong. That’s where practice comes in. Other things to keep in mind: Maybe the best advice is to not do what Buck says. Just because it works for Buck, don’t expect to have the same result. Moral of the story: Don’t expect to nail your first interview (unless you’re Buck Buckner).
