A Good Client Story

Was this yesterday or the day before yesterday? You texted me to say, "Hey, how would you handle this?" Which is how all of our client discussions go.

And I do owe them images.

They have not requested all the images that I owe them.

So they were reaching out to request more images.

But they have not paid me.

They have not paid me one single cent.

I don't feel reassured that they are, in fact, gonna pay me, and I do think that they are.

I just think that you work with a much broader swath of the public.

Yeah.

And I think that's why you're open to ...

That's ...

You're not open to it [laughs] as in inviting it, but that's why you suffer that-

Yeah

... more often than me.
