Warm regards,


This is the kind of message that arrives in my box daily—sometimes three or four times a day. And this is one of the better ones! The bad ones say how inspired they were by the interview with FILL IN RANDOM GUEST WHOSE EPISODE THEY CLEARLY DIDN’T LISTEN TO, and how much it reminds them of THEIR RANDOM CLIENT.

EG: I recently listened to your conversation with Jon Small about how sharing failure can help your business. His ideas on embracing vulnerability and learning from struggles really stood out to me, and I’m excited to apply this mindset to my own work. Great episode!

If there’s one thing I know about this person, it’s that they very much did not listen to this episode and if there’s another thing I know, it’s that they will not be applying this mindset to their own work.

They’re doing the “spray and pray”: spamming podcast hosts across God’s free world with slop. What amazes me is that they do not give up. If they’re going to email over and over and over, why not just take the time to email once but in an effective way? It’s usually by the third follow-up that I take action—not by accepting the guest but by blocking the sender.
