Lauren Pearl
Lauren Pearl joined me on Doing Daily to share her experience with running a daily mailing list. AI Summary: Lauren Pearl, a CFO and business strategist, discusses her experience running a daily email list called Daily CFO. She explains that the list helps her showcase her expertise and provide valuable insights to CEOs and business leaders. Lauren shares the benefits she has gained from the list, including improved writing skills, a sense of fulfillment, and a body of work that can be repurposed for other platforms. She also discusses her process of writing and sending the daily posts, as well as the tools and platforms she uses. Lauren emphasizes the importance of consistency and authenticity in maintaining an engaged email list. In this conversation, Lauren Pearl shares insights on promoting paid services, engagement metrics like open rates and click-throughs, getting first subscribers, and attracting subscribers. She also discusses the importance of replies and how to handle unsubscribes. Lauren recommends starting a daily list and provides advice for those considering it. AI Takeaways: Running a daily email list can help showcase expertise and provide value to an audience. Benefits of a daily email list include improved writing skills, a sense of fulfillment, and a body of work that can be repurposed. Consistency and authenticity are key to maintaining an engaged email list. Ideas for daily posts can come from daily experiences, sound bites, or thoughts throughout the day. When promoting paid services in newsletters, it's important to find the right balance between content and promotion. Lauren found that her audience responded better to quick references and ways to reach her rather than sales pitches. Open rates and click-through rates are valuable engagement metrics, but they should be seen as indicators of the effectiveness of headlines and subject lines rather than the content itself. Replies from subscribers can provide valuable feedback and insights. Lauren often receives responses when she shares something spicy or controversial, which helps her gauge how people feel about certain topics. Getting the first subscribers can be done through a phased approach, starting with a small group of trusted individuals and gradually expanding to a broader network. LinkedIn can also be a valuable platform for attracting subscribers. Unsubscribes should not be taken personally. It's important to understand that not everyone will be the target audience for the newsletter. Pruning the list based on engagement may be considered in the future. For those considering starting a daily list, Lauren recommends just trying it out and committing to a certain period of time. Writing every day becomes easier with practice, and the benefits extend beyond the number of subscribers.

Jason Resnick
Email automation guru Jason Resnick joined me on Doing Daily to geek out about daily email. Bio from Jason's website: I'm Jason. I'm certified by ConvertKit and one of their recommended experts for handling migrations (https://help.convertkit.com/en/articles/2502587-switch-from-drip). Personal relationships are the backbone of my business. Most of my clients become long-term partners, many of whom have come to me by personal referral.

Blockchain offers a new way to monetize your games and increase your company valuation. It can also increase efficiency and decrease costs.

It’s about giving power to the players.

Published 14 Jan 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] When I had maybe a handful of people on the list and maybe send those out again, um, just to have something going out that I don't have to put quite as much effort into, but it's still a value to folks. Right. Okay. That makes sense. Okay. I'd love to pivot into some questions about the content itself. Sure. You said you don't have a problem coming up with enough stuff to write about, but could you talk about that a little bit more for people who haven't had that experience? Like, how do you actually come up with this stuff? Yeah. So that's, it, it really varies because a lot of the stuff I talk about is very technical, but then there's other things about say productivity or whatever. […]
