Dialogues #39

“When this hits the market, there’s not going to be just 10,000 to 15,000 people having it, there’s going to be hundreds of thousands. Millions per year.” - Fred Walburn

But first, I was surprised and honored to have this Selling Plato newsletter featured in Kit’s own weekly newsletter. One of the main reasons I chose Kit was that I saw major figures like James Clear, Sahil Bloom, Tim Ferriss, and many other writers on Kit who have 6-figure and 7-figure audiences. So I figured if Kit could service those writers who have high standards and know what they are doing, then Kit could certainly handle my modest weekly newsletter. So far, I have been really pleased.


I was truly thrilled to talk to Dr. Randy Baker, who is a bariatric surgeon, specializing in obesity and weight loss. Well over a decade ago, Dr. Baker developed a potentially world-changing weight loss device called the Full Sense Device, which is now pending approval with the FDA. The episode was in part inspired by my brother Joel’s well-written article, “The Invention That Could End Obesity”, about Randy and this revolutionary device.

In the episode we talk about his Full Sense Device, but we also get into general questions about weight loss, the impact of exercise and strength training, the obesity epidemic that Dr. Baker sees daily on the front lines, and other topics in medical ethics.

I actually think this episode could help a whole lot of people, so I hope you enjoy listening or watching.

Until next time.

P.S. Apologies for any mistakes you see. I had arthroscopic shoulder surgery yesterday (in a weird coincidence with this medically focused episode), and I am not mentally or physically 100% yet.

For me, everything shut down over spring break. I was toward the end of my third year in my PhD years at Texas A&M, and everyone was talking about how school might be online-only for two to three weeks....

Dialogues #41 Read in browser↗️ “Having kids is important for how we think about human life and human flourishing, because the fact is that we have the same things these kids have. We have these emotions. We have lots of moments of irrationality. We have all these bodily functions. We have large chunks of our lives where we're completely dependent on the care of other people and not recognizing that leads to a lot of weird thinking about what human life is. ” - Dr. Megan Fritts 🚨Episode 13 of...
