In this episode of The Medicine and Money Show, Dr. Ryan Smolarz sits down with Dan Curran, Co-Founder of Chapters.io, to break down how AI is transforming publishing—and why doctors, professionals, and experts should be paying attention right now.

Most people think writing a book requires months of isolation, endless drafts, and burnout. Dan explains why that model is broken—and how modern authors can turn their ideas, stories, and expertise into a book without “writing” in the traditional sense.

We dive into:

Why everyone has a story worth capturing—especially physicians

How AI can organize your thoughts without replacing your voice

The difference between legacy books and monetized books

How one book can be atomized into talks, consulting, courses, and content

Why publishing is shifting from static books to Living Libraries

How doctors can use a book to own their narrative and build a personal brand

The real economics of publishing, speaking, and knowledge monetization

This conversation is about more than books. It’s about ownership—of your ideas, your reputation, and your legacy in an AI-driven world.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I want to write a book, but I don’t have time”

“I want to share my expertise without burning out”

“I want to build something that outlives my career”

…this episode will change how you think about publishing.
