Episode notes

Greatness lies in the collaboration with others, where external input significantly enhances the final outcome. By delegating tasks such as editing, chart creation, and graphic design to a team of 14 people, the speaker highlights the value of collaborative efforts. Initially, the first drafts may require substantial editing, but subsequent revisions lead to improvement and refinement. The speaker acknowledges that 51% of the influence comes from others' contributions, while only 49% stems from personal input. This collaborative approach not only facilitates the generation of ideas but also enhances the overall quality of the work produced.

Scott is a cocktail of crass humor, brutal honesty, and millionaire advice. He spent ten years wanting to write a book, and when he finally did, everything he learned could be summed up into two words: Be fearless.

So buckle up — because today, you’re going to learn how to write fearlessly.

In this episode, we break down the nitty-gritty mechanics of fearless writing: how to create intimacy with your reader, how to craft a narrative, how to share bold opinions, how to use humor as a weapon, and most importantly, how to write from conversation. (This is one of our favorite concepts we teach in Write of Passage. Your best ideas don’t come from typing; they come from talking.)

Put simply, Scott is the king of strong opinions, loosely held. And that’s why his writing resonates. If you want to be bold and fearless in your writing, then this episode is for you.
