10-4 , speaking w Maureen have identified most of the things i need to work on to remove friction. Do need to confer on some items in this and map out how big or small i need to make the team involved (2+kristin, etc)
Also, list - pretty sure When price settles we’re at supposed margin but need to figure out what the redundancies are for RTK away from the indecisive ones.
Yes - just wrapped with him. I told him we were doing quite a bit lately that had a more neutral tone or point / counterpoint approach. This seemed important to him for reasons you mentioned. I think if we were not doing any of that, he's probably not interested. I also told him his name didn't need to be attached to all content - that seemed to help also.
I'll get him connected to Maureen. He's not available though until Monday.
Hi Alec - I have a call that starts in about 15 minutes, but would like tp chat briefly and then have you chat with Maureen, our Cheif editor. Will call you in a minute.
Background in sports writing & political science Political orientation: Liberal Writing speed: 2 articles/HR Pricing preference: per word (AVG's to $25/hr) Work background: Teacher (ESL), freelancer Name: Alec Pronk WhatsApp phone # = 303-501-0693 Available now for a few minutes. In West Europe. Wrote 5 McCain funeral iterations. Maureen used 2 I believe.
