🎤 S.T.U.P.I.D. Email (Friday December 17th, 2021)

The S.T.U.P.I.D. Email (Swipe, Thought, Uplifting, Picture, Interesting, Drawing) This is a fun email for Friday December 17th, 2021. Hope you like it :) ​ ​ 🎤 Listen to this email here: =​ ​ Swipe: This Russian McDonald's email looks incredible! Gotta hand it to them, the photography and UX on this email is super tasty looking 🍔🍔🍔 ​ Doesn't it just LOOK awesome 😂 ​ ​ ​ Thought: ​ The people I currently view as the best copywriters are people who don't necessarily identify as copywriters: • [@naval](=)​ • [@balajis](​ • [@david_perell]()​ • [@lexfridman](​ • [@elonmusk](=) These people tend to be:​ • Clear thinkers. • Can distill complex topics in simple ways. • Can communicate well for their chosen medium. • They are building and doing rather than just talking. A cool thing about social media is that it's created a whole new category of "good writers" that didn't exist before since you can share small tid-bits and thoughts so easily. In the past the "good writer" was the person reporting on an "interesting person." ​ But now you can totally bypass reporters and writers and go straight to the interesting person! You → Elon Musk You → President ​ ​You → Oprah ​ So the "Interesting Person" can now be their own reporter and writer! This change in dynamic has greatly changed my personal perception of who a “good writer” is. ​ ​ ​ Uplifting These automatic blinds in my bedroom are one of the the most satisfying home automations I've done. This never gets old 😍 You can see a smoother video of it [here](). They can close by remote, or Siri/Alexa can control them also. This automation was totally worth it! ​ ​ ​ Picture: I was dogsitting this lil shih tzu named Poe for a bit, and we went on a Whole Foods shopping trip. He patiently sat in the bottom of the cart as I shopped and he looked hilarious 😂 ​ ​ ​ ​ Interesting: This is an amazing visualization of how food is wrapped. By this logic, if you cover a taco with a slice of bread it would morph into sushi 😏 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Drawing: The famous venture capitalist Marc Andreessen once published a guide for planning your career, and the main concept was focusing on becoming at least a Double Threat. "Seek to be a double/triple/quadruple threat." - [@pmarca]()​ ​ Here’s what that means: "SINGLE THREAT" This is someone who only knows how to do one thing. This is like going out into the real world with a dull knife. Example: Can write basic blog posts and that's all. ​ ​ ​"DOUBLE THREAT" ​This is someone who knows two things really well. These people are better armed to take on the real world. Example: Can write blog posts AND make grabbing images for social media. ​ ​ "TRIPLE THREAT" This is someone who knows three things really well. This is like going into the real world armed with an assault rifle and whole arsenal. Example: Can write blog posts AND make grabbing images for social media AND can make videos out of that content. ​ The other thing Marc Andreessen highly encourages is for people to learn at least one TECHNICAL skill. He said it like this: "Graduating with a technical degree is like heading out into the real world armed with an assault rifle instead of a dull knife...." ​ ​ ​ Hope you enjoyed these little tidbits, have a happy Friday! ​​ Sincerely, Neville Medhora - [CopywritingCourse.com]() | [@NevMed]()​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ [Unsubscribe]( | [Update your profile]( | 801 W 5th St. , Austin, TX 78703
