I cold email. I cold DM. I cold mention on IG story. Anything could happen. Worst they can do is not answer or be mean. If they’re mean, fuck em. Many opportunities are just a cold message a way.
Do it! I send at least one cold email to someone whose stuff I admire once a day. Oftentimes people don’t reply, but when they do… relationships form and memories are made! So don’t be too shy, most people are just an email away…
I had the opportunity to interview the host of one of my favorite podcasts for class and I never would have gotten to hear all of their wisdom had I not sent that initial message! Even the ones that feel like long shots are worth writing, you never know who'll respond!
