The Nugget with Michelle Martello

a different kind of conversation

Published 3 months ago • 2 min read

A few weeks ago I decided to come out of my winter cave and invite some friends over for Greek food and mocktails.
​
In the course of 3 hours we covered everything from how we're using Claude to hormone stacks to client persuasion tactics to how to save thousands on software.
​
We're way beyond surface level info - we want gritty details and exact how-to instructions.​
​
Which is how most of my friends of a certain age are these days. ​
​
You need a room where people are having real conversations - and have the insights, data and real-world experience to back it up.
​
If you’re looking to nerd out on a variety of topics from hormones and longevity to spirituality and tech, my latest launch WOMEN: THE PORTAL may be for you.
​
Join Dr. Sara Szal and Elena Brower (plus a few appearances from me) in this all new closed cohort experience.
​
I've been fortunate enough to work behind the scenes with these two powerhouses - expect keen knowledge, wisdom and smart guidance for your next era.
​
Register for the free open session May 21st to view the program structure and themes for the coming year.

you've got this,
Michelle

p.s. my winning go-to mocktail option right now - Roots zero proof vermouth* + zero sugar tonic water.
​
p.p.s. No AI was used in the program page design. While I love Claude co-work to do things like create my own quiz plugins (more on that in an upcoming newsletter), I still design every little pixel by hand.

My list of personal pet peeves is long.Dishes left overnight in the sink.Dust bunnies in yoga studio corners.Hour long meetings that could've been an email.People adding me to their random personal Substacks (shudder).But few things rile me up as much as a messy inbox. So when I saw my friend launch expert Brenna McGowan post her biggest email pet peeve (small font size), I knew I had to share mine.I sign up for a LOT of newsletters in the name of industry research. Pro tip: use a separate...

For a hot minute last week I considered shutting everything down. I ever-so-briefly dreamed about quitting tech and opening a trampoline dance studio called tramp stamp.

Or is your web designer? Your IT...

In the nebulous world of email marketing, there's surprisingly few important things to track. There's open rates. Click-Through Rates (CTR). Bounce rates. Revenue per email (RPE). And my personal favorite metric, Open to Write Back Rate (OWBR) - thank you Ann Handley for that one. But my new metric has an n-of-1. Getting Laura Belgray to open my emails right away. And as I learned talking with her this week, what gets her to open emails will likely get your readers to open yours too. Watch...
