@wellcopymax I sent this to my team so figured I’d share here as well. Shoutout @leilahormozi 👋 Yo! I’m Max. 5 years ago I got into e-commerce through running my own online store. What I loved most was the marketing, direct response, and seeing numbers go up on a screen... That obsession led me to email, and I’ve been living and breathing it for the past 5 years. I went in-house first. Lead email marketer for multiple 8-figure brands at the same time until I built my agency, Well Copy. We’ve now worked with 300+ ecommerce brands and currently manage email, sms, and subscription programs for 100+ actively... We help brands scale from 7 to 9 figures, and have generated $250M+ from email in the process. I’m 23 and built this all while in college and graduating in May 2025. This is all I do. All I think about. And I’m just getting started. I post about email, SMS, and subscription brand growth... the strategies the fastest-growing brands are actually using TODAY. If that’s what you’re here for, follow along 🤝 Direct message me “EMAILZ” to get free resources or explore working together (you can also hit the link in my bio). Follow @wellcopymax for more.

Framework

The Authority Curator

The creator establishes themselves as an authority on a topic and then provides a rapid-fire, curated list of high-value, third-party resources, framing it as a shortcut to expertise and concluding with a frictionless offer to access the curated content.

  1. 1

    The Authority Proof

    The creator substantiates their right to make the opening declaration by providing a specific, impressive metric or achievement related to their own success in the field (e.g., 'we just crossed 100 employees').

  2. 2

    The Source Reveal

    The creator names the single, credible source from which the curated list is drawn, anchoring the recommendations in established expertise.

  3. 3

    The Value Gauntlet

    The main segment where the creator rapidly presents each item in the curated list using a repeating micro-pattern, demonstrating a high density of value.

  4. 4

    The Value Reframe

    The creator summarizes the immense value of the freely shared list by comparing it to a high-cost, premium product (e.g., 'a course that costs thousands').

    The 5 'A's to Giving Critical Feedback

Transcript

Should be required training for anybody running a company. I push crossed a 100 employees in my company, and I make all my leaders watch these videos. Pretty much all of these are OG Layla Hermozzi videos. This is the first worst, one of my favorites, how to get employees to work hard and stay with you forever. It's all about recognition, how this is the key. It's the same, like, part of the course tier. We have communication and how to effectively communicate to your team. Seems woo woo, but it's tactical as fuck. Then this is probably my favorite, and I rewatch this, like, once a month. Pretty much about if your employees aren't doing what you want them to do, it's on you and how to actually get them. And then we have six tips to making team meetings effective because most meetings suck. Another one right tier, how to motivate anyone to do what you want. Great one tier. It's quick. Very important one, how to become a leader that people respect. And to tie everything together, the five a's to giving critical feedback. Good should be a leadership course that costs thousands and thousands of dollars. Comment best, and I'll send you the links to all of them just for easy access. No email required worst so you can have it.
