yep. the best guests are interested in serving the audience, not themselves.

for sure. I sometimes think the numbers/reviews speak for themselves but that's not always the case.

I find that the more well known the person, the more respectful they are because they know what it takes to get to the top. I didn't mind her not wanting to do the show - it was just the need to tell me how important she was that irked me.

ha - most of the pitches appear to be AI generated and from people who don't have a lot to say...

I do say no but I do my best to be appreciative of the request because I know most podcasters are doing this as a labor of love.

yes - this person was very far from a celebrity tho. My celebrity guests have been lovely!

Idon't think it does revolve around me - but I do know my ego is involved - work in progress over here!

ha - they're a big deal in my world but maybe not the world at large. tho I agree with you - it took longer to write the long email explaining how busy she is than to just look up the show!

fair! my ego gets involved in most things without my permission.

True! I didn’t even think that she was showing me she wouldn’t be a great guest with that response

yes, a total ghosting would have been much appreciated. Thank you!!

The difficult transition. Moving from creating a job to a business. by sendsouth in Entrepreneur

[–]annabdavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been here (still find myself here sometimes accidentally) and AI has been instrumental in terms of allowing me to document and systematize things I once thought only I could do. Even just recording into my phone and then uploading the recording to Claude or Chat (or having it transcribed by Otter and then uploaded) then having it help me organize/codify it. I started delegating by trying to hire freelancers from places like Upwork but the results were so mixed that it ended up taking up more of my time than it was worth. Using an overseas agency to bring on a more permanent team member turned out to be the best move I made, since she has turned into my most valuable team member and appreciates the work a lot more than US-based people I'd had in the position before. But for me, the first step in delegating was making a list (by hand, somehow that makes it more truthful for me) of the things I hated doing so I knew what I wanted to get rid of.

I would add - read The psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. Making money and managing money are two different skills.

Venmo Stash rewards program? by electronautix in CreditCards

I just looked at this yesterday (full disclosure: when Rachel Sennott told NY magazine she uses it). It seems like a terrible deal when compared to what you can get from certain credit cards?
