Kidnapping Victim Analogy for the Substack Guy
from #285 - Tim Dillon VS Substack | The Tim Dillon Show · #285
1 min
Tim compares the Australian Substack rep's desperate hopefulness during the meeting to a kidnapping victim pleading for her life.
- Tim describes one of the guys turning red repeatedly during the conversation, like he was on a date with a crush.
- The absurdity of disrupting an entire operation to move to another platform, even if money is involved.
- Tim compares the pitch to how Elon Musk supposedly got started — someone asking to move the operation and make them big instead.
- The guy asks Tim if he's jazzed about the opportunity; Tim says no.
- Tim's logic: he's willing to move only if offered three times what he's currently making, because otherwise there's no reason to change anything that works.
