We Appreciate Our Writers

From My First Million · Published Jul 6, 2017 · Watch on YouTube

TL;DR

The hosts (Speaker 1) celebrate Writers’ Appreciation Day by having their readers create a thank‑you video for their writers/editors (Little John, Kendall, Lindsay, and two others). They then surprise each editor with a personalized gift: a skydiving gift card for Lindsay, a steak dinner at Roy’s for John, and an unspecified print‑ready gift for Kendall. The segment ends with positive reactions.

Key insights

  • The hosts prioritized reader‑generated appreciation over their own, asking the audience to contribute a thank‑you video.
  • The readers’ video included a testimonial endorsing the tone and voice of the publication, recommending it to clients and friends.
  • Each writer/editor received a different, personalized gift (skydiving, steak dinner, printable gift), chosen with apparent knowledge of individual preferences (e.g., Roy’s is “Adam’s favorite place”).
