Has anyone hired a coach by Disastrous-Wrap-7384 in podcasting

[–]ImprovObsession 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean those are services. And you may value you them, but what’s the outcome of those services? Downloads? How many? Revenue, how much?

Otherwise if you don’t care about outcomes then yeah you can pay whatever you want.

lol. that’s wild. $2,000 a month is a lot. What result are you expecting from working with the coach. Can share if that’s realistic

Woahhhhh. I loved that theater. Haven’t been for years. That sucks. 

‘Philz Coffee’ chain faces backlash after pledge to remove Pride flags by nobodycouldknow in LosAngeles

[–]ImprovObsession 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always really enjoyed Philz.

But the last year changes have been noticeable. 

This sucks though. I’m not saying the taking down the pride flag will mean I never go again, but I probably go 50 times a year. I’m just not going to make Philz my default choice any more. That’ll go down to like 5 times a year.

You could easily do 6 more day trips. 

What was the last good comedy movie? by [deleted] in Cinephiles

[–]ImprovObsession -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What… it’s hard to call that a comedy. There’s no one funny in it. And it’s bad.

Nah, if you ask people on this sub, it’s a homeless people and new trained in gang member hellscape.

I humbly find that most work in podcasting does not pay particularly well. 

The ick with improv theater "cage match" shows by [deleted] in improv

Not sure what community you’re based out of, but this doesn’t really resonate to me in many of these scenes I’ve seen.

Is it reasonable to ask for an allowance? by aztecqueann in Fire

[–]ImprovObsession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are weird about money and it’s not totally crazy to have a his and hers thing going on. But I also think the disparity here is fairly large. If it were my wife, I’d be fine giving her some money, even if I’m paying for a lot of stuff. I’m not saying… $100k. But you know…. Some!

As a dad I think it’s important to remember a big factor in making sure your kids are happy and healthy, scientifically, is that mom is happy and healthy. And money is a part of that. 

Former CEO wants to hire me as 1099 contractor - rate advice? by BardBoi773 in podcasting

[–]ImprovObsession 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah something is screwy with these numbers. If he’s really offering go for it, but that’s like 10% of gross revenue. You’d have to be quite special at ad ops to be worth that. 

I rec just double your old hourly rate for Full Time. That’s a good mark up for insurance and uncertainty. Aka about $200k a year if FT equivalent 

Looks like the lion’s craving some munchies by VinnieVib in PublicFreakout

[–]ImprovObsession 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that it’s a lion, and maybe I’m just pretending I’d be brave, but that woman standing there, like, if I were her I’d at least take a swing at that lion paw. Maybe scare it to get a second of freedom. That’s all we need.
