Between the hours of 8-5, are you typically sitting?

If you are, then you need to (stand up) and listen to this episode of Become More Compelling Radio.

Most of us intuitively know sitting is bad for us. But just how bad it really is may shock you.

My guest is Zack Arnold (@EmpireEditor) he's the founder of Optimize Yourself and this is a podcast episode that could literally add years to your life.

You're probably familiar with Zack's work if you've ever watched shows like Burn Notice, Glee, and Empire. He's an editor by trade, so he knows all about grueling 12+ hour days sitting in front of a computer.

About 10 years ago, Zack decided that he would stop treating his body like a Ford Pinto, and start treating it like a Ferrari. This journey led him to spend over $75,000 and a decade optimizing his health so that he can constantly perform at a high level in his career and produce amazing work on demand.ack

Most of our jobs require us to be creative problem solvers. Zack will teach us how to protect our creativity like it's our number one asset.

Let's face it.

We've ALL sent a 16 paragraph email and that moment after we've  hit the send button on this potentially life-changing email, we've wondered silently to ourselves:

"Should I have sent that? Was that a little too much?"

(Spoiler: YES, IT WAS TOO MUCH, NOW I WANT TO THROW MY LAPTOP LIKE A DISCUS INTO A LAKE)

I'm so selfishly excited about this episode of Become More Compelling Radio that I can barely contain myself.

My guest Talia Koren (@thetalillama) and I talk about how to reach out to influencers in a way that respects their time and makes it 10x more likely that you'll receive a response.

This is especially helpful if you want to:

  • Pitch media to get your side business off the ground.
  • Get a new job in a new field.
  • Reach out to an expert and ask for advice.


The skill set of being able to reach out to people in an effective way is a force multiplier for your life. Learn it and use it. 

In this episode you'll learn:
12:26 - How most people approach media outreach and what you can do instead.
24:10 - How to reach out to individual influencers.
41:22 - The structure of a good outreach email. (Subject line, body, PS)

Talia also has a free resource for BMC listeners: 3 Teardowns of standard media pitches.
