"If you’re asked something 4 or 5 times:

- Write an article on it
- Record a podcast episode about it

Create something you can share repeatedly for people."

"A simple way to improve your success of cold outreach:

Follow up.

People are busy, they miss things, and you're leaving a lot of potential on the table if you don't follow up."

"If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.

That’s for:

- Startup funding
- Getting a raise
- Having someone join your team
- Podcast guests
- Finding a life partner
- Making a sale

Getting past that fear of rejection comes with some amazing outcomes."
