Why You Should Write Emails Like a Five-Year-Old

Listen for free

View show details

Most workplace emails are overwritten — full of jargon, qualifiers, and buried asks. In episode 93, Lucas and Luna break down why the best professional emails follow a rule any five-year-old could teach you: put the ask first, use short words, and get out. They examine a famous internal memo from Jeff Bezos that banned PowerPoint and demanded six-page narratives — and why that same thinking applies to your inbox today. Lucas shares data from a 2024 study showing that emails with a reading grade level of 6th grade or below get 36% higher response rates. Luna pushes back on whether 'dumbing down' emails risks sounding disrespectful. They settle on the real skill: clarity isn't condescension — it's efficiency. If today's episode saves you even one round of clarification emails, it was worth a coffee. Listen for the one-sentence fix that will cut your email writing time in half. #EmailWriting #ProfessionalCommunication #JeffBezos #AmazonNarrativeMemo #ClearWriting #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #WorkplaceCommunication #Careers #EmailTips #WritingSkills #Clarity #SixthGradeReadingLevel #NoJargon #Productivity #ConciseEmail #LucasAndLuna #BuyMeACoffee Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
