On most testimonial pages you might see one marquis name, followed by a list of no names. Mr. Pell‰Ûªs testimonials involve a list of Who‰Ûªs Who in the news world.
For example, Steve Bodow, Executive Producer of The Daily Show, said, ‰ÛÏDave finds stuff I didn‰Ûªt see but should have. Add that to his drop-dead sexiness and you‰Ûªve got yourself an indispensable newsletter.‰Û
Then there‰Ûªs this one from CNN Executive Editor Ram Ramgopal: ‰ÛÏNextDraft is a must-read. Dave scours the Internet and presents a sm̦rgÌ´sbord of stories that educate and entertain, and even elevate the discourse surrounding the major headlines of the day.‰Û
And how about this one from ESPN Senior Writer Don Van Natta Jr.: ‰ÛÏThe NextDraft newsletter is indispensable. Dave Pell cuts through the clutter with urgency, humor and smarts. I never miss it.‰Û
Wouldn‰Ûªt you like to crawl inside Mr. Pell‰Ûªs mind and see how this outstanding writer curates and creates one of the most successful email newsletters of our time? Get some great marketing and branding lessons?
Well, today is your lucky day because that‰Ûªs exactly what Sean Jackson and I do in this interview (Sean kicked Jerod off the show this week).
In this 43-minute episode you‰Ûªll discover:

  • What Dave means when he says ‰ÛÏI am the algorithm‰Û
  • Why he‰Ûªs publishing a curated email list
  • How much lead time it takes him to prepare an issue
  • The worst criticism he has ever received
