I completely agree. These companies need more visibility. It’s great to see your interest in supporting the seedstrapping model.

It’s not about the warnings. I know the time 🙂. The problem is when it’s hard to wrap up because the other person keeps asking questions. With auto-end it’s clear: boom and meeting’s over, and they know it’s not me dodging their questions.

Most marketing opportunities boil down to simple courage. As someone once said: "Ask for what you want. Worst case - you get rejected. But often you might just get that great evening you're hoping for".

True, pricing creates some constraints, but there's no out-of-box solution. Awkward when clients are mid-flow with great questions and I've got another call in 5min. Either interrupt or mess up my schedule. A simple 'end at scheduled time' button would solve this.

Feels like showing up online is the same as showing up at the gym: nobody claps for your first rep, but if you keep coming back, the results start to show.

I met my biggest client ever at a training on Japanese management style. With their help, I built one of the largest companies in the industry. You never know where you’ll meet your best client - so keep showing up.

That moment when 'creative marketing' is less about inspiration and more about endurance.

I think it is about balance. Quality builds trust and quantity builds reach. Sometimes the person who does not look like a client today becomes one tomorrow.

Same here. And don’t forget the shower - ideas always show up when there’s nothing handy to write them down 😆.

True, but even processed can be tasty in the right context. Maybe AI-writing will find its own niche.

Probably. The typewriter once made short sentences fashionable, radio popularized catchphrases, and AI might just be the next stage in that evolution.

Oh, I get that. Everyone crosses their Rubicon in their own time.

Same here. But I’ve still got access to older models on some devices. No idea how long that’ll last, though.
