How to Beat Writer's Block Like a Pro - Dave Gerhardt, Exit Five

In this episode of What's Your Process?, Dave Gerhardt (Founder, Exit Five ) shares his process for writing that gets people's attention — from the blank page to hitting publish. Dave calls himself a self-proclaimed world-class copywriter, not because the writing is pretty, but because he's built a career on getting a point across. We get into where he starts before writing a word, why he doesn't believe in writer's block, how he decides how much a piece of writing is worth sweating over, and why he'd rather ship something imperfect than sit on it. The Process: 0:00 Intro + talking some sh*t 6:35 What is one thing you're world class at? 17:59 What are you writing? 25:54 Just write it. 32:49 Consider the stakes. 40:21 Ship it and learn. 43:06 What's next?
