It's something he's been doing for 20 years as a staff writer at the New Yorker.

He's also written six full-length nonfiction books.

Patrick is known for this style called Write Around Reporting.

So you want to focus on somebody who's wealthy or powerful, and they're just like, "No, I'm not going to talk to you.

I flat out refuse." How do you still get that story done?

That is Patrick's area of expertise.

He did this with his book about the Sackler family, where they basically said, "We're going to threaten to sue you if you write this book." So then I said, "Well, what is it that you do to tell that story once you find it?" And he said, "You got to find your Donkey.

A donkey to pull you through the piece." I was like, "What do you mean by that?" Well, you're about to find out.

I’m David Perell and I’m a writer, teacher, and podcaster.

I believe writing online is one of the biggest opportunities in the world today.

For the first time in human history, everybody can freely share their ideas with a global audience.

I seek to help as many people publish their writing online as possible.
