Because I launched my show 17 years ago and then I started a new one seven years ago on the back of that one when I was already well known in the space. I am the last person you should ask for advice on how to launch when you don't have that done. But you're right.

If somebody goes, hey, I'm getting this many downloads and I'm wondering how you do X, Y, Z, then I, yeah, I understand that there's not many people that can do that here. Here's a hack and feel free to take it. What I do now is I offer consulting to anyone who asks and that money goes to charity. So what happens is you have to put down your $1,000 an hour. Yeah, you have to pay me $1,000 an hour.

However, That money's not going to me. So I'm not a selfish jerk for asking you for $1,000 an hour. That money is going to go build a school in freaking Africa or whatever I choose to do with the cash. You cannot write it off though. It's going to me. I'm using it for what I want later on. It's charitable, but I'm using it for the charity that I want.

So then when my friend says, hey, can you buy a table at the charity gala for children with leukemia? I go, here's $8,000 and I don't have to think about it because I earned that money consulting. What this does is everybody who is like, your value is zero, but I'm going to ask you anyway and I'm probably never going to take your advice, that person is never going to pay you $1,000 an hour.

And if they do, you've wasted your time, but at least you made $1,000 an hour. They're never going to do it. I likewise will do any podcast that anybody asks me to do. I won't evaluate if it's big or small. I just say, here is the charity honorarium that I require. If you pay me this, I will go on your show.

I don't care if it's the first episode and you never air it because you have paid for my time. And I donate that money to charity. That's really good. It's a bar that you can cross with money. That's a really easy thing. I don't have to spend any time evaluating this.
