This topic seems to be awkward to bring on but essential to be aware of as everyone experiences this at some point, don't you agree? What would you do if someone wants to take you to coffee, pick your brain, and not pay you? How do you handle someone asking you in your DMs: how did you start? In today's SMA minisodes, Michelle and Sarah share their insights and own experiences, real examples of DMs, emails, calls, and what they've learned over time to give value still while respecting their time. Learn about what's upstream and downstream monetization, why having resources such as a podcast or a Facebook group can be vital as you grow, and as always, get honest and ground on earth advice.
