A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video by Charles Hudson (recorded March 17, 2025) where Hudson and another speaker discuss the emotional impact of being "ghosted" in sales and venture contexts (LPs and investors ghosting founders). The speaker notes it's difficult for founders not to take ghosting personally when they're pitching their company and vision.

I also think, like, in all sales situations, people get ghosted. LPs ghost.
Me, investors.
Ghost me, investor.
People want to try to make that happen.
And it's hard to tell people, don't take it personal when it's your company and your vision and you're putting yourself out there. So I don't tell people, don't take it personal. Of course you're going to take it personal. And like, just as a different way of saying no, I thought, like.
