Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello can I go?

No, that might be it hi gang welcome to the run-selvey repeat

podcast where we talk about life with the side of running it's me Kelly

Roberts I am still sick with the plague. I still sound a little ill.

It's because you know I am ill. I'm ill. Such a bummer. So annoying and so I thought I'd make this episode about it because what the

uff and like other news so I'll tell you guys a couple weeks ago literally weeks and weeks ago in the beginning of January, a very notable

brand reached out to me and said, hey, we have this opportunity and I remember you were talking about in November that you wanted to run this race.

Would you like to run this race with us?

And I said definitely, I'd love to talk about it. Let's find some time to hop on a call and talk about the scope of

Partnership and what you want out of it and what I want out of it and what the expectations are and

la la la la which is how it works when you have a deal.

Normally these deals take forever. Sometimes they're very quick. I mean I've had deals where I got the thing on

Monday and had to have the deliverables on Wednesday that is like the

rarest of the rarest case but for the most part they email you let's just say in

January and you won't sign until March.

You'll go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and you'll fight

about words in the contract and you'll fight about giving, you know, your likeness away in perpetuity, all sorts of nonsense.

And at the end of the day, hopefully you get to a place where both parties are happy and

feel like it's worth their while and you go on your merry way.

Well, I could just straight up got ghosted.

But the hard thing is, when you have something like this

where it was a marathon, I'm not in marathon shape and I wasn't in marathon shape.
