In This Episode

“One girl wrote to me angry that I’d ruined her birthday because she spent hours ignoring her boyfriend while reading my emails.”

That’s just one of the extreme replies Daniel Throssell has received from readers of his daily emails (get them at persuasivepage.com).

His writing is fresh, occasionally angry, and consistently laugh-out-loud funny. 

His “idiot takedowns” are up there with Chris Orzechowski in their viciousness (“we have a bit of a friendly rivalry around them”) and his storytelling is as addicting as a reality show full of catfighting housewives, building characters around family members, neighbors, and competitors.

In this episode, we discuss his creative process, how he manages to compile tricky story elements without confusing the reader, and his “mean Daniel” alter-ego that flares up when someone dares to wrong him.
