Any NYC-based strategists open to a coffee chat (in-person or virtual)? I’m an entry-level AAE desperate to pivot, but also hitting the “existential crisis” phase of my job search. Would love to make connections and more about strategy, the industry, and how I might be able to make it someday.

Benefits include: feeling like a great person for helping a lil guy like myself, decent conversation, free coffee maybe (money is tight), good karma, distraction from life obligations for ~30 mins

I just finished directing and producing a short film and I’m try to secure the rights for the Christmas song “jolly old Saint Nicholas” by ray smith on Columbia records for it.

Thanks in advance
