What's up everyone, this is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Morning

Brew.

Welcome back to Founders Journal, my personal audio diary, where I give you the business

builder, the tools you need to think better in order to build better, whether that's building

a business, a team or a new product.

Back by popular demand, today we have a guest journal for you, where I turn the mic over

to a best-in-class builder with lessons to be learned from their story.

And I am especially excited for today's guest, David Perrell is the internet whisperer.

He is a well-known essay writer who has used his own education and online writing to teach

thousands of people, why online writing is one of the most important skills in 2021

and how you can do it effectively yourself.

He has a writing school called Right of Passage where he does this and also shares all of

his insights to 225,000 followers on Twitter.

David, great to have you on Founders Journal.

Thanks Alex, obviously a huge fan of everything that you're doing at Morning Brew.

Thanks man, well I'm going to stop talking, it is time to turn the mic to you.

So I just want to prompt by saying, how do you become a great online writer?

What are the principles that you have used to guide your craft and how other people can

guide their craft in online writing?

Yeah, so I think that when it comes to writing, we are all taught how to write in school

and most of the way that we think about writing is framed with the assumptions of what we

learn in the classroom.
