Cold Emailing to Get a New Job

Swyx has a surprise topic asking Randall questions about her side hustle at Gumroad.

Show Notes

We're discussing emailing a company and pitching yourself for the job you want. Randall did this recently!

If you're not getting rejected twice, three times a week, you're probably not pushing yourself to where you should be. Our natural state is to avoid rejection.

This isn't just a cold email. No one likes the email where they think this person could have just emails this to ten other people.
