How Cold Emails Changed My Life and Built a Career
The Cold Email
I attribute three major life changes to cold outreach, from getting into Carnegie Mellon to joining GitHub and owning soccer clubs. While I acknowledge survivor bias and forget the many failed attempts, the successful connections prove that genuine, respectful contact often opens unexpected doors. I encourage others to reach out with sincerity, while promising to always welcome cold emails myself to pay it forward.
You can't win unless you skate to where the puck is going to be buying a lotto ticket.
