Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray are teaming up for “Bathroom Break” — a quick-hit series where they trade data-backed tips while pretending we’re not all scrolling on the toilet. This one’s all about why Saturday and Sunday might be your secret weapon for better engagement, higher intent, and less crowded inboxes.
