David Perell: Being a Hedgehog When You're a Fox, Living With the Twitter Algorithm, Learning from Tyler Cowen, and Building Mass for Leverage","description":"Do you want to build an audience online, but have such a wide variety of interests, you don\u2019t know what to focus on? I think you\u2019ll like this interview with David Perell. David Perell (@david_perell) calls himself \u201cThe Writing Guy.\u201d He runs the cohort-based online writing school, Write of Passage (I love that name). His marketing is very specific, but he has incredibly diverse interests, and enthusiastically shares content related to those interests online. I went through his links on his website (no longer posted) to prepare for this conversation, and just my highlights of his links were over 6,000 words long! The topics included economics, art, urban planning, golf, music, and much more. I\u2019ve been really impressed watching David\u2019s online presence, so I brought him on the podcast for my first interview episode in more than two years! We\u2019ll talk about: The four grants David has gotten from Tyler Cowen\u2019s Emergent Ventures. How did he get those grants, and for what projects? Have all the opportunities to grow your audience online passed? David will share what he thinks is the biggest growth opportunity right now. We\u2019ll talk about how to please the Twitter algorithm. What about it is \u201cso brutal,\u201d as David says?
