On this episode of the STICK TALK podcast, the boys sit down with Nicholas Verge to talk about writing copy for Alex Jones, making 6-figures a year selling t-shirts, doing “method acting” to write email copy, why owning a Porsche 911 ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, and being a chillionaire. Nick is the founder of the Creative Advisor, a program that teaches people how to make 10-30k/month as a freelance copywriter. He’s also written copy for titans like Alex Jones and Jordan Belfort, and has generated more than 25 million dollars in sales for his clients from his copy. Time stamps:
