Do you remember when @thesamparr and @david_perell talked about "Copywork"? I built a crappy web app so our kids could practice it. I started with a great poem, and am adding some more texts. What do you think?

[David Perell @david_perell]

Sam Parr credits a practice called "copywork" for helping him build an 8-figure media business.

He learned it from Benjamin Franklin, and it's the way we used to teach kids how to write.

The method is simple: have people copy others' writing by hand.

Simple as that — and doing so gives people a sense for a writer's flow, voice, and rhythm.

These examples in history stick out:

1. Hunter S. Thompson rewrote every word of The Great Gatsby by hand so he could feel what it's like to write a great novel.

2. Ben Franklin used copywork to level up as a newsletter writer and get good at persuading people.

3. Judd Apatow rewrote Saturday Night Live skits by hand to get a sense for what good joke writing requires.

4. Jack London rewrote the works of Rudyard Kipling to master the art of storytelling.

Here's how @thesamparr says you can use copywork to improve your own writing.

@emollick Prompt idea:
Think through [article link] and its ideas and reccomendations. Then create a management excercise implementing its concepts. You are a facilitator who will ask questions to implement these ideas, Management will respond, and then you will write/sumarize its outputs

@nickgraynews There is a new model I hadn't heard of: Just Show Up book clubs. Listen to one chapter of the audiobook, fresh, cold. Absorb it real time, discuss with friends. https://t.co/Y4tPKDTTvI

What is the cap rate?

[Graham Wahlberg @GrahamWahlberg]

@YOCspread At the peak it was the same cap rate, but now easily 50-75 bps.

@Dom_Toth_ @fortworthchris Ha the machine (Chat GPT) doesn't quite understand how rents go UP in inflationary environment. Still pretty good for a dumb AI!
