Discover 6 epic email newsletters that upgrade your success

I like keeping my inbox tidy, so I try to unsubscribe from all unnecessary lists.

Yet, I get a rush of adrenaline when I see these ones pop up. I just know there is going to be a wealth of knowledge inside.

Here are my top picks!

NIL Island has an exclusive email list designed to help student-athletes succeed in NIL. Each week, you’ll receive helpful NIL tips and fun resources.

Yes, it’s free. 

Yes, I do my best to make it totally awesome. 

Overall,  it’d be kind of silly to compile a list of my favorite newsletters without including my own. 

I spent 4 years studying advertising. These emails have more instant practical application than 90% of what I learned in school.

Harry’s emails are clean and simple. They’re full of screenshots and photos of unique marketing ideas.

I like it because it makes me feel clever.

If you find business news interesting, The Hustle is definitely worth a try. Each day, you’ll get the most relevant and intriguing stories in tech and business.

The transformation: You’ll feel smart and informed.  All you have to do is read 5 minutes of witty words.

Matt writes about everything college sports, except the actual athletics part.

If you’re here because of NIL, Matt covers the larger NIL landscape (plus tons of other interesting things).

It’s a fantastic newsletter to stay informed about all-things NIL and college athletics!

Neville Medhora is apparently a legendary copywriter. Based on his emails, I see why. 

They help you write better and live better. 

A few things in my inbox recently…

  1. Problem-solving checklist (blew my mind)
  2. Rambling old man syndrome (and how to fix it)
  3. Should I buy this? A helpful cost-per-use analysis calculator
  4. Neville’s signature S.T.U.P.I.D. Email: Swipe, Thought, Uplifting, Picture, Interesting, Drawing

Oh yeah, and I learned that cool thing where…

  • you
  • make
  • every
  • line longer
  • than the last
  • from Neville’s emails.
  • I’m a little obsessive about it now.
  •  

Visual learner? Neville delivers. Each email is full of visual examples and thought-provoking insights. Plus, it’s super quick to scroll through. 

Stay up to date on the biggest crypto stories with the Milk Road.

Crypto = confusing. 

Milk Road = mostly understandable. Interesting. Funny. 

I feel my brain adding new wrinkles as I learn more about the crazy and volatile world of crypto investing. Usually, my favorite parts are the meme-of-the-day, chart-of-the-day,  and/or the “milkbusters” that catch crypto myths. 

Prepare to hear about ETH and Luna and UST and and NFTs and SOL and Web3 and oh-my-goodness, I didn’t realize there are so many acronyms. If you know ‘em, Milk Road may be a good thing to subscribe to.
