Key Takeaways
To master persuasive writing, spend one hour daily hand-copying great copy or scripts word-for-word to internalize the rhythm and 'texture' of successful communication.
When investing in or starting a business, prioritize the 'jockey' (entrepreneur) over the 'horse' (business model), as a great founder can navigate a bad model while a bad founder can ruin a great one.
The most successful creators build a 'cult' rather than a community by explicitly stating their unique beliefs, which attracts a loyal audience of like-minded individuals who feel a personal connection to the host.
