It’s no secret that I love the Beastie Boys. They actually inspired the name of this podcast! Their autobiography is where my love of the Beastie Boys collided with my love of the written word.


The Beastie Boys Book is a masterclass in writing and storytelling. In this episode of ill communication, I’m sharing three important things that the Beastie Boys can teach us about great copywriting.


Topics covered in this episode include:

  • The importance of voice and tips for writing in your own unique voice and personality
  • The importance of detail and how you can use details to make your brand more realistic and believable
  • The importance of story and how to use storytelling to make your business memorable


Tune in now to hear these copywriting lessons learned from the legendary Beastie Boys!
