Levine's opening paragraphs are always so strong. The content marketers within us all would be wise to learn from his methods.

- ISL 10y agoI've wondered for months now how large his staff might be. The quantity of work that he publishes is substantial, and the quality is quite consistent. I'm a fan, to be sure, but I'd love to know how it's all put together.
- PhantomGremlin 10y agoI wonder if he has a staff at all? If not, then it's even a more impressive body of work! I'm pretty sure that when Matt wrote for http://dealbreaker.com/ http://dealbreaker.com/ he did it without any support staff. It was probably that gig that got him noticed by Bloomberg. I'm a fan, to be sure You can always go back in the Dealbreaker archives and read his earlier stuff. It's pretty equivalent to what he now writes for Bloomberg View. It's a long strange trip for him from "high school Latin teacher": https://www.bloomberg.com/company/announcements/matt-levine-joins-bloomberg-view/ https://www.bloomberg.com/company/announcements/matt-levine-...
- hkmurakami 10y agoWell his HS Latin teacher stint was his gap year before heading to Law School (likely post acceptance), so I'm not entire sure that counts ;).
- dtnewman 10y agoI always enjoyed his articles on Dealbreaker, but I think his writing is very well suited for Bloomberg. However, I feel like his training as a writer for Dealbreaker taught him a style of prose that feels very fresh in a more mainstream news venue. I remember when he first started writing for Dealbreaker and in opinion, his writing quickly improved within a few months there.
