Subject: Consulting opportunity
Hi Liz,
It’s been a while. I hope you have been well! Wondering if you might be interested in doing some consulting for some of the founders in our portfolio. We are cooking up some exciting and unique projects with our C-suite leaders, and if you’re available I’d love to tell you more. Copying Ali to schedule.
All best,
Mark

Hi Liz,
Happy Thursday. I’m sorry we were unable to coordinate over the summer - it all went so fast!
Wondering what your availability for a call with Mark looks like this afternoon? Preferably before 1:30 but after lunch. Also happy to set something up for next week, most days between 11am – 3pm ET. Let me know.
Thanks!

Hi Ali!
Summer did go so fast, didn’t it? I got really into botany-who am I? Lol Today works - anytime. Tomorrow too. But really, whatever is best for Mark. Thanks & looking forward to hearing about these projects.
Best,
Liz

Hi Ali!
Just checking in on that call - if today doesn’t work for Mark, no worries. I’m available the rest of the week or early next week. Talk to you soon!
All best,
Liz

Hi Liz!
Thanks for following up. Mark’s day got away from him, unfortunately, and some people from the home office are coming onsite so next week is no longer looking good. Can we reset for one of the following times:
October 10 from 1-1:30
October 12 from 9-9:25
October 27 from 4-430
Best,
Ali

Hey Liz,
Happy Friday! So sorry for the quick switch but Mark is going on a safari with his family. Can we please look into the week of Nov. 3, when he’s back? Let me know, and apologies again.
Thanks,

Hey Ali,
No worries! Safari, how cool! I’ve always wanted to see a lion up close. Hope they brought their bug spray!
That whole week of Nov 3 is flexible for me so let’s get something on the calendar.
Talk soon,
Liz

Dear Liz,
So sorry for the lag here. Mark had a medical situation. (Dermatological, all is fine!)
He was thinking that given the trickiness of scheduling, perhaps you could meet with his assistant (that would be me!) and I can relay the notes from our conversation to him? Would you be ok with that?
Thanks,
Ali

Dear Ali,
What a nice surprise to hear from you. I’m so sorry to hear that about Mark’s skin. I hope he is feeling better. Would be happy to hop on a call with his assistant (aka you!). My number is 916-555-2595. I’ll keep my ringer on!
Best,
Liz

Liz, sorry for the confusion. I was hoping to schedule a video chat so I can present a deck about the needs of our innovative slate of portfolio companies. Please advise.

Ali,
Why don’t I just open up a Zoom and you can hop in when you’re able to? I’m just waiting for copy edits on my poetry collection and I have to work on crocheting a blanket for my niece’s first birthday anyway. So I’ll just be here with my camera on, my sound on mute, and I’ll see you when I see you!
Best,
Liz

Hey Ali, I’m still here on the Zoom. To be honest, I’m kind of pooped and dehydrated. Should we perhaps look to another day?
Best,
Liz

Subject: Happy New Year
Dear Ali, I’m not at all emailing you drunk from my bff’s house upstate lol ;jlkjfhd. Seriously though, I recently listened to a true crime podcast about a woman who disappeared at Walmart and what with 2026 on the horizon, it made me want to reach out. Are you ok? Were you abducted by the Twin Flame cult? Did you order a poke bowl and get food poisoning? Does Mark still want to tell me about these exciting projects? He’d better lol!
Life, I’ve discovered, is a mystery. Some questions will never be answered.
I’m actually emailing to close the loop on this whole back and forth. I appreciate your continued efforts, but I am no longer taking consulting work. I actually just enrolled in a flower essences healing program. If you and the Thoughtimpactleader team would like to see what it’s all about, I could totally swing by the office for a free workshop in the New Year.
Best,
Liz

Re: Happy New Year
Liz, Happy New Year to you too! I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding. I was under the impression you were going to send me a calendar invite. Mark was looking forward to hearing about our conversation. Are you sure you can’t take on a little extra consulting work in 2026?

Re: Re: Happy New Year
Dear Ali,
Please find a link to my Calendly. My essential oils program is going to keep me rather busy for the foreseeable future, but it appears I do have some availability to consult down the road. September 21, 2029 at 3:35pm might make sense - does that work for you?
Best,
Liz

Re: Re: Re: Happy New Year
Dear Liz, thank you so much for sending the link. We’re so excited that you may have time in the future to take on this amazing project. Unfortunately, Sept. 21, 2029 is looking hairy. We have back-to-backs. How is 2031 looking?

Dear Ali,
It’s been a long time! 2031 came and went, didn’t it? It was so great to see you at the Scheduling Impact Conference on Mars. I’d be happy to hop into my time travel pod and do that consulting for you in 2025 if you want. Let me know what date I should travel back to and I’ll beam myself there!
All best,
Liz

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Happy New Year
Dear Liz, thank you so much for reaching out. Unfortunately, Mark’s dermatological issue has taken a turn for the worse. He went into anaphylactic shock on the spaceship while traveling back to earth from the Scheduling Impact Conference and subsequently died. But the good news is that his brain is preserved and still active, thanks to one of our innovative portfolio companies, BrainFuse LLC. Mark’s neurological self is being maintained in a jar and he’s looking for a thought partner.
Interested?
