This episode is brought to you by Basecamp, the world’s simplest,
most effective project management platform. Check them out at
https://basecamp.com and tell them David Perell sent you. Fareed
Zakaria is one of the world’s leading journalists. Maybe you’ve
seen him on CNN. Maybe you’ve read his books. Or maybe you’ve read
his articles in the Washington Post. This conversation is a
university-level seminar in the craft of writing, which builds upon
the thousands of articles Fareed’s written over his career. It’s a
guidepost for anybody who wants to write non-fiction. How do you
develop expertise? How should you structure your days? What kinds
of deadlines should you set? We also talked about how The Great
Gatsby shaped his perspective on America, when to rely on anecdotes
vs. data, and the skills that’ll remain scarce as AI breaks through
the Turing Test and becomes a hyper-competent writer. The
through-line of Fareed’s work is a philosophy of purposeful
practice: watching all his TV performances to see how he can
improve, reading great writing to absorb what excellence looks
like, and using the deadlines of TV and newspaper columns to write
consistently. About the host Hey! I’m David Perell and I’m a
writer, teacher, and podcaster. I believe writing online is one of
the biggest opportunities in the world today. For the first time in
human history, everybody can freely share their ideas with a global
audience. I seek to help as many people publish their writing
online as possible. Follow me Apple:
