A short YouTube monologue (Dec 5, 2023) by Mark Evans DM reflecting on past relationships and contrasting needy/transactional dynamics with partnerships where neither party depends on the other. The speaker also discusses leveraging time and resources (e.g., buying someone’s future time/royalties) and encourages listeners to consider higher-level collaboration.
Think about any relationships you've been in. Like, when you need something from them or they need something from you, it wears you out. But when both parties are like, I don't need you, you don't need me, can you imagine what we can build together? It gets way more exciting. It's way more fun, too. So it's leveraging his hours for pennies on the dollar because I'm buying time, 25 years of his time for whatever royalties he's going to get. And I want you guys thinking about that. Like, for some reason, people are intimidated by the next level. I don't know.
