Cold Email: How to Write Like a Human

Eric Nowoslawski

Founder -> Growth Engine X

Learn to reverse-engineer your manual research process so AI can replicate it.

Think like an Engineer

Build AI workflows that send highly relevant messages without generic fluff.

Automate with precision

Track open and reply rates to prove your AI-assisted outreach is working.

Measure real impact

You have powerful ideas trapped in your head. Insights from your work, your research, your expertise. Ideas that could attract clients, build your thought leadership, and grow your audience. But right now, they’re stuck in messy drafts or as a nagging "I should write that" on your to-do list. The friction is immense. The blank page is a void. You estimate it will take 10, 15, even 20 hours to wrestle your thoughts into a polished, publishable article. So you wait. And the ideas remain invisible. It doesn’t have to be this way. The AI Writing Accelerator is a 3-day sprint designed to shatter that friction. AI won't do the work for you. Instead, you will learn to use AI as a brilliant collaborator that helps you brainstorm, outline, draft, and edit faster than ever before. Across three days, you’ll use a proven, AI-assisted workflow to go from IDEA → OUTLINE → DRAFT → EDIT → PUBLISH. No busywork. No fluff. You’ll leave with one polished, publish-ready article (1,500–2,500 words) and a repeatable system you can use again and again. This is not about replacing your thinking. It’s about augmenting it—using AI to sharpen your ideas, move faster, and keep your voice intact. It’s the same process I used to grow my Substack by 4,000 subscribers in 4 months. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: This course combines cutting-edge learning science with actionable strategies. You’ll gain practical tools, expert feedback, and a structured process that turns your thoughts into a flagship article. Every workshop focuses on both strategy and execution. By the end, you’ll have not only the skills to write but the confidence to do it at a world-class level. You’ll leave the course with: ●&nbsp;One Ready-to-Publish Flagship Article&nbsp;(1,500–2,500 words). This is the core promise. You will walk away with a finished asset for your portfolio or social channels.●&nbsp;My Personal "AI Prompt Stack."&nbsp;The exact, copy-and-paste prompts I use to generate powerful headlines, structure compelling arguments, and edit with ruthless efficiency.●&nbsp;A Repeatable High-Leverage Writing System.&nbsp;Never face the blank page alone again. You’ll have a proven workflow to consistently turn your ideas into high-quality content.●&nbsp;The "Publish or I Keep Coaching You" Guarantee.&nbsp;My commitment to you is absolute. You will publish your article, or I will continue to coach you in free office hours until it’s live. WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR: This sprint is for professionals and creators who value their time and want to translate their expertise into tangible assets.●&nbsp;You are an&nbsp;ambitious professional, consultant, or executive&nbsp;with deep industry knowledge, but you struggle to find the time to turn your insights into thought leadership.●&nbsp;You are an&nbsp;aspiring writer or solopreneur&nbsp;who feels stuck in a cycle of unfinished drafts and wants a tangible win to build momentum.●&nbsp;You are an&nbsp;established expert or creator&nbsp;curious about AI, but you refuse to sacrifice quality or your unique voice for speed. Who this is NOT for:&nbsp;This is not for those looking for a "get rich quick" scheme or a way to have AI write soulless, generic content. This is a system for augmenting&nbsp;your&nbsp;thinking, not replacing it. EXTRAS:●&nbsp;Lifetime access to video recordings of all live sessions via the Maven platform.●&nbsp;PDF summaries of the course for easy reference.●&nbsp;Direct access to Eva for personalized feedback and guidance.●&nbsp;Optional co-writing and coaching sessions to refine your work.●&nbsp;AI prompts to accelerate your writing process. If you’re ready to become a confident, consistent, and impactful writer, this course is for you.

Publish Your Flagship Article in 3 Days 

a step-by-step writing and learning process

Bring 1–3 potential ideas from your work. We’ll select one and shape it into a flagship article. Clear inputs make the sprint fast and focus

One clear topic or problem to write about

Have an account and know how to send prompts. No coding required. We’ll use AI to accelerate thinking while keeping your authentic voice.

Familiarity with a chat AI (e.g.: ChatGPT or Gemini)

You’ll do the work in-session and between sessions. Protecting these blocks is key to shipping your article by Day 3.

3 focused blocks over 3 days (~6 hours total)

You’ll adopt the “co-founder” mindset that turns AI into your personal editor, idea-generator, and research assistant. We’ll build a living swipe-file of irresistible headlines, craft an introduction, and leave with a rough draft 80 % done.

Workshop 1: From Blank Page to Magnetic Draft—The Mindset, Headline & Hooks

You learn best through applying and practicing. During the cohort, you will be held accountable to submit 3 articles that combine everything you've learned. We offer an optional co-writing session. If you get stuck, we will be there to support you.

AMA & Co-Working Lab (Optional)

In the final 45 minutes, we’ll run the ruthless “Cut” checklist that makes prose crisp, voice unmistakable, and insights unforgettable. Then we’ll match your piece to the perfect platform: Substack for depth, LinkedIn for reach, Medium for serendipity, or your own blog.

The ChallengeYour days are filled with:🗓️ back-to-back meetings,🚀 sky-high customer or investor expectations,⏱️ wishes that your team could move faster sooner,🔥 wishes that you could move even faster and work on what really matters instead of fighting fires. You start each day with the best intentions, but somehow find yourself constantly reacting instead of leading.&nbsp;Sure, it would be nice to focus on your own goals, but you care about those other people (or at least some of them 😁). They’re colleagues and customers, family and friends... How can you collaborate with them responsively without forsaking your goals and becoming just a (re-)Actor in their story? 🎬 ✨ You wonder if AI can help, you wonder how other leaders are using AI to manage it all and manage their teams--but honestly, who's got the time to figure that out? ⏳ You have a constant, lurking anxiety about what’s falling through the cracks or not getting done, so you work faster. As you try to move faster, people fall short of your expectations and their potential. It causes friction and frustration (even if you hide it well). It's uncomfortable to call out, so you avoid giving feedback or mention it lightly, which makes the situation more uncomfortable. Eventually, you decide to give feedback. Sometimes it goes okay. Often, you try to move through and out of the conversation as quickly as possible because it feels so awkward. Growth and improvements rarely last. You take on more work yourself to get it done. The Solution (Evidence-based. Immediately applicable.)⏱️&nbsp;EVERYTHING YOU READ BELOW WILL BE ORIENTED TO IMMEDIATE APPLICATION DURING THE COURSE ⏱️What if you could shift from reacting to the constant inputs to creating what matters most and leading your team in that direction--everyday? This course will support you, step by step, in building your Operating System to make this shift. Fancy apps aren't enough. Nor are bursts of motivation. A sustainable Operating System has 3 features:🧰 Tools (simple enough to keep using, and amplified by AI)🔁&nbsp;Habits (the tools don't use themselves...except for some of the AI ones we'll build)🧠 Mindsets (you can "productively" spend your life responding to other people's messages and requests--or build something that matters) No, "perfection" isn't possible (or even desirable). But our days--and our results--completely shift when we focus our attention systematically instead of ad-hoc and reactively. And our conversations shift when we stop trying to fix people and start inspiring them to take action and grow. We teach you how to do this by using straightforward approaches that reliably transform defensiveness and friction into self-reflection, connection, and motivation to grow. You will start to look forward to feedback conversations because you will know how to use them as powerful tools for building trust and deepening connection. You will also explore your own mindsets and beliefs around feedback, identifying your own patterns around conflict avoidance, people-pleasing, and controlling behaviors. AI is woven throughout the course, including:1️⃣ building your own Custom GPTs2️⃣&nbsp;mastering your calendar3️⃣ using AI as a practice partner for difficult conversations and coaching skills4️⃣ helping your team use AI, and so much more! Once you've shifted the way you manage yourself and lead your team conversations, applying evidence-based approaches tested with 1000s of managers and amplified with AI, the whole game becomes fun again. Bonus:📝 You will also get 5 step-by-step facilitation guides for sharing and teaching your team members everything we cover in this course. This helps establish shared language and frameworks within your team/organization, and positions you as the leader of change. 📖&nbsp;You'll also get our 20-page Offsite Playbook with step-by-step guidance on how to design and facilitate unforgettable team and company gatherings. 🚀 And you'll get to do this while in a practice lab with other high-growth leaders.
