Summary

You know that feeling when you want to stay on top of your industry but just can’t stomach another networking event or boring RSS feed? Jay Schwedelson has a wildly easy fix: hijack your inbox. This one is all about using ChatGPT and a few clever email hacks to build your own mini search engine of up-to-date insights—especially handy if you’re in a niche space like B2B SaaS Healthcare. Plus, Jay weighs in on nepo babies (yes, really) and why being one might actually be harder than you think.

Try Jay’s Prompt:

Just drop this into ChatGPT and watch your inbox transform:

“I work in [your industry] and want to subscribe to the best email newsletters from leading companies, smart founders, and modern publishers. I’m looking for tactical insights across go-to-market, product, growth, and marketing. Please give me a curated list of high-quality newsletters with registration links included.”

Best Moments:

(01:20) The exact ChatGPT prompt to uncover the best newsletters in your field, complete with signup links

(02:45) Why organizing your inbox into a newsletter folder creates a goldmine of searchable insights

(03:50) How to turn that folder into a real-time idea bank for content, webinars, and campaigns

(04:55) The unexpected upside of getting promo emails from those newsletters

(06:18) Why Jay has no beef with nepo babies—even if their album might flop

(07:12) The new “Beatles kids” collab that might make you cringe… or not
