| 0:00.0 | All right. Welcome back to the Passion with Purpose podcast, my friend. I'm your host, |
| 0:08.7 | Nathan Chansky back with you for a brand new episode. And this episode is titled, Clients seem excited, |
| 0:17.2 | but then they ghost. Why? Why is it that when a client inquires and they seem so excited, |
| 0:28.1 | right, they send you this massive inquiry and they gush about the details of their day and how |
| 0:34.3 | they met and they tell you how much they love you and how much they love your work |
| 0:41.1 | that they've seen so far. But then it seems like for a lot of people, and I'm hearing this from |

| 1:41.7 | weird thing to reach out to somebody with such enthusiasm. |
| 1:45.5 | And then 24 hours later, the enthusiasm is completely gone and you don't even have the decency to the, to respond to me. |
| 1:54.1 | So I get it. |
| 1:55.1 | I've been there, you guys. |
| 1:56.2 | And I don't think any of you who are experiencing this are alone. |
| 1:59.9 | This is a very common experience, |
