The AI Standing Between You and Your Subscribers — with Chad S. White

Your email can pass every authentication check, land in the inbox, and still never get seen the way you wrote it.

Chad S. White has written nearly 4,000 articles on email marketing. He's the author of Email Marketing Rules and GVP of CRM Strategy at Zeta Global. And he says we've entered a new age of deliverability — one where inbox providers rewrite your subject lines, summarize your content, and rank your emails before a single subscriber opens them.

For publishers who mail daily and monetize the send itself, that's not a feature update. That's existential.

We dig into where the standard deliverability playbook still holds for high-frequency senders — and where it breaks completely.

In this episode:
