Can I Call You?
ONE-ON-ONE LOVING
I get a lot of people reaching out to me saying “Great stuff, can I call you?”
If you’re reading this I probably just sent you this link to your message/email…
You want advice (aka consulting)
If you have issues and you want help, pay and book a time in my calendar.
I’ll chat about whatever you want during your time, and I’ll try hard to genuinely figure out how to help you achieve an outcome. Simple. I’m fecking good at it.
I’ve never had an unhappy client (other than a yoga instructor who said “you’re kinda hostile”. Not all people like the truth).
If you want to “pick my brain” or whatever BS, I charge for that. It’s called being a consultant.
I don’t do free calls unless you charm me somehow, and I want to help you (aka reallocate time to your drama).
You Want Me to Do a Talk (For Free)
I do free talks all the time, mainly for universities and accelerators.
My criteria is basically that there are at least 30(ish) people.
If you’re in fecking Sudan and want me to chat with your 50 startup friends from your startup group, I’ll do that (for free).
I’m all about educating, I just require that I help out a lot of people at once. I think that’s pretty fair.
You Are a Bigger Nerd and Want to Nerd Out
I love talking to nerds. It’s how I learn.
- Say you’re the founder of a cap table startup- sure, I’d love to talk about cap tables!
- You looked at my viral growth model and finally found the error- yes, I want to talk to you!
- The point here is that the value transfer should be zero-sum.
If you have a financial model and want to share some ways to improve something – call me!
You Want to Talk About Partnerships
I’ve never done anything to date. Basically, you want me to do free stuff to help you.
Send me a SHORT bullet point email with:
- What’s in it for me
- What I’ve to do
- What I’ve to give you
- How much time is involved
You Want to Discuss Random
Want me as a Director on your board etc.? I’m open to anything that:
- Makes me money now or will
- Makes me look all sparkly pants awesome
- Offers opportunities to learn and meet awesome people
You Want to Make Friends with Me
I love making friends with nerds.
I don’t know who the feck you are though.
- Get an intro
- Send me an email with something that I can add value to
- Live chat me and get to the fecking point quickly that you’re interested (Yes, I’ve made many friends this way)
Basically, you want to know me, why do I want to know you? I can be very friendly but I have absolutely zero chill for BS.
