Make it easy to say yes

A recording from our Live workshop

Here’s the video from last night’s Live. Thanks to those of you who joined me!

We had a technical issue at the beginning (no audio) so I had to restart. Skip to about 7:45 in the video above to get to the part where you can actually hear me.

The conversation covered:

  • How to think about the balance of power, prestige, and team when reaching out for interviews and other creative collaborations

  • The mechanics of reaching out to someone. How to do it, how not to do it etc.

  • How to format a cold email to someone, including what to include, maximum length, and making your ask clear

  • Why everything you want is on the other side of following up

  • The importance of manners, diligence, and respecting other people’s time

  • On taking big swings and backing yourself

Let me know in the comments if you found this useful. And for those of you who are newer paid subscribers, here’s the last workshop I did.
