OCTOBER 10TH - 14TH, 2019 In nyc “Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics is an annual forum in New York City that examines the role of psychedelic drugs and plant medicines in science, medicine, culture, and spirituality.” This will be my second time attending; the first time was in 2014, which was one of the most inspiring events of my life. Registration is still open, and I would recommend this experience for any interested parties. Feel free to message with any questions, hope to see some of you there ✌️

Definitely will make that a stop, thanks for the input. I almost made it to Providence when I was in Boston last month, but I ended up with a pretty full dance card there, to my delight.

Ideally, I would work with someone who was not also a skinny white top male. Your concern was on my mind, for sure. I do consider I might lose out on a client or two, but I think the net would be positive for me spiritually and taking into consideration the cost savings I mentioned. If I were finding that your concern was spot on, I could always end the experiment and fly solo.

Hey Ya’ll! Once I return to the US, I am planning to tour extensively in some smaller/medium-sized markets. I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of traveling with another provider, to cut down on various costs / share driving / have a person for duos available / film content / cam/ workout partner / and because frankly it can get a bit isolating / boring being in some smaller places waiting between appts. I am trying to avoid flying as much as possible and will be doing bus / train / car to get from place to place. I’m a tree hugger, what can I say? ??‍♂️ I will start mid/end of October and hope to be doing this for a good while and can be pretty flexible without a 9-5 LFG!! ?

I plan to make a stop there in the next 2-3 months, but unfortunately I am not a muscle guy and doubt I could help with your bicep addiction

No, no, no, no... I’m far from a saint but I’m not so short sighted to think that this would be a good idea on the companion’s part For anyone who is in this for the long term, and who cares about his reputation and repeat business, you keep the commitment and maybe try to move the other potential appointment to another time/date. Even if you offered the +100 guy to meet later at the normal rate, by taking both clients you’re ending up way ahead and possibly adding multiple people to your regular roster of clients, too. Flaking is just bad for business and will not justify the extra money right now... I agree with @MrMattBig that the +100 guy was probably not real and this lad was just being petty/spiteful, though, based on experience.

Much prefer hearing “no thanks” than someone just falling off and not replying like you mention, just my 0.02 - text convo gets trashed and a loose end is tied up in my mind Also, definitely don’t mind hearing why someone chooses not to hire me - it is often the budget in some smaller markets, and I would rather have more information than less to help keep me current on trends in the biz

Bad long term business practice and dick move. Keep commitments and if something real comes up, at least apologize and offer a deal for you in the future

I have tickets for three of her upcoming tour dates (Charlottesville 9/13, Asheville 9/16, Charleston 9/20) - if anyone is interested and will be around and would like to join, let me know because I bought at least a couple for each date I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED, I absolutely love her music since I started seeing her perform live on late night programs. I was scheduled to see her in August, but I had prior engagements.

Don’t you have “an assistant” that handles your arrangements? Why not let this person deal with all the hassles of communicating? Or “they” are only for collecting fees?

Yes, standard, and much appreciated because those trips to and from airport add up

Yes, it’s fun.

Definitely the grumpy old-fashioned boomer option

Ok

I wouldn’t bet on it. Consensus for CBD with robust data is spasticity in some neurological conditions like MS and various types of intractable epilepsy. Can’t recommend plant-based diet enough, for ED too. I know I’m a broken record, but with ED being a vascular thing a lot of the time, this intervention is perfect. Eat plants, stay hard. (Or inject yourself with tri-mix ???‍♂️... and they say my lifestyle choice is the extreme one...)

????? Yes please

It isn’t really a tough problem. A tough problem is feeding a family of 4 on a minimum wage job. Have some perspective AND frame flakes as a part of the biz - It’s tiresome to hear provider’s acting like some (basically) crank calls are so devastating. It can be annoying, but there are signals to learn to avoid wild goose chases (@Kevin Slater has given plenty of useful guidance over the years, for instance)

Think of how hard people in the world have to work to make what you make in an hour working as a companion... ???????? flakes and time wasters are the cost of doing biz, be thankful you aren’t working in f’ing rice patties or as a child soldier, good grief

You’re the only person who requiring a deposit is gonna hurt. If texting is so much work for you, work at Starbucks or something Flakes are a part of the biz. Quit being so entitled

1) college tuition rates have exploded (and a degree is MANDATORY, even for many, many entry-level positions) 2) rental costs / real estate has exploded 3) wage growth has not even close to kept up with 1 & 2 Just for fun, plugging into various inflation calculators online, 1,500$ in 1975 would be around 7,000$ today 1500 a year tuition at a top ten med school?! It cost me 35,000 in tuition a year for my middle of the road state med school (my friends from out of state were paying 60k plus for tuition) - 12,000 for tuition per year undergrad at my state school - I won’t go into all the specific ways that our universities are just squeezing every penny out of students, but they have found *such* creative ways (coursepacks, online problem sets, lab fees, etc) Boomers, the world is not the same and no amount of avoiding Avocado Toast is going to save my generation - I’m very thankful for the generosity of my Boomer clientele, but please, be real about how things are

Sorry if I was not more clear/specific - I cannot use the GPS function (“Find Me”) which automatically changes your home location as far as I can remember Additionally, it is obvious from my ad that I am a traveler.
