the death of being straight

naii.io

I recently crafted some slick AI tool tutorials for a company. Production quality? Top-notch. But turns out, they’re shelving my videos. Not a fit for them, they said.

Here’s the kicker: They bailed on our meeting and when I called it like I saw it, they weren’t thrilled. They preferred a raincheck mentality but hey, I’m a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ kind of guy.

So, we parted ways. And that’s alright because it cleared up something important for me – and maybe for you, too.

If you love clear, no-beat-around-the-bush talk, I’m your guy. I believe in hitting the mark, no fluff or dance.

Consider this my no-BS filter. I keep it real and direct – that’s what you get from me, always.

Interested in that kind of partnership? Let’s talk. No maybes, just a straight yes or no. Hit reply.

Joke Time:

Why did the AI video contractor break up with the blunt communicator?

Because he couldn’t handle a straight shooter—he was only good at catching curveballs.

Or:

Ever noticed how some people can’t handle blunt communication? It’s like, "Oh no, he was too direct with me! I need more cushioning in my emails!" I mean, what do they expect? A pillow fight in their inbox? If you can’t deal with straight talk, maybe you should stick to writing sonnets or something!

Onward,

Alexander "Straight Shooter" Kluge

Or, you chatted up for free. Hit reply, told me what’s up, and we created some magic.
