Good. You have some conviction
"so how do I actually write better cold emails?"
I went from sending bad cold emails to sending good cold emails after changing just one thing.
I couldn't believe how simple it was.
It took me like 2 years to realize it but I'll tell you the main tricks here so you don't have to waste even a day.
Writing good cold emails is about clarity and persuasion. The magic is in keeping things simple. Simple writing is persuasive.

2 ways I learned to do this. First I spent thousands and thousands of hours finding and studying the best cold emails out there. Then I copied them by hand. Literally.
I know, it sounds stupidly simple and trust me my cold emails were TRASHY before
But after that I learned to have flow, voice, and rhythm in my cold emails so that they sound human. I learned the psychology behind writing subject lines that would get emails to be clicked on. I learned to follow up many times with a polite, I-respect-this-guy-for-grinding kind of persistence and not the annoying kind of persistence
And it worked. I could find anyone's email and reach them.
With cold email I became friends with people who've built multi-million $$$ companies, I got Rian Gauvreau - the founder of Clio ($3 bn company) to be my mentor, I got to work at Scale AI with no prior experience.
It even led me to work in a Hollywood film - no joke, its called "A Nice Indian Boy" and I'm there at 1:23:22 for 10 whole seconds
