like, when I'm having conversations or looking at leads that might be five people for an event at a music venue you know like am I you know approaching everyone with the same care and genuine like you know effort and priority to help them and or am I like what is my brand in way in the way I'm approaching people really or approaching opportunities I think what I'm trying to say is that no matter if it's a small event, large event, if it's like people I just meet on the street or I'm working with inside the venue, or I'm meeting at an event, or I think that I'm never going to see them again, or I didn't think this event was really great and worth my time.

19:38
How about if I were to, you know, be very nice on social media, say all these praises about how great we are to work with people and, you know, then act totally different in person.
