Possible Ways to Engage
These are expressions of interest, not binding agreements or guarantees of worker classification. Any arrangement is properly structured to fit the opportunity and the parties involved.
Currently selected: Let's Explore First. You can refine this later — the goal is to explore fit before defining structure.
Opportunity Inquiry
Tell Dan about the opportunity. No predetermined position, title, or compensation model required.
Reserve an Available Window
Scheduling is optional. Reserve a slot alongside your inquiry — it is only booked once your submission succeeds.
What Happens Next
- Your inquiry is saved and routed to Dan's opportunity workflow
- Dan reviews interests directly — no auto-pitch or pressure
- Where there's fit, an exploratory conversation follows
