Her Unique Value Proposition

From an unsolicited email today:

These are unusual times. I am trying to provide a platform to represent a point of view of value creation, innovation, and entrepreneurship through my blog, NAMEOFBLOG, books. With other writers, I am collaborating more. I am offering Guest Columns to people with good ideas looking for a platform to speak from. Somewhere along the way a Capitalism 2.0 needs to emerge…

I am asking your permission to email you a few times a month to solicit perspectives, exchange thoughts.

Man. Write for free for your personal doucheblog about value creation, entrepreneurship, and the emerging Capitalism 2.0?

Wow. Lemme think about that for a minute.

Okay. I did think about it. And, unfortunately, I’ll have to say “no.”

Because I checked my personal calendar as well as my commitments to speaking, writing, and consulting gigs, and then I re-read every syllable I’ve written over the past 43 years, and, as it turns out, I’d rather syringe my urethra full of Sterno and fuck a blazing campfire.

But, seriously. Thank you. Thank You 4.0.
