# Intro call / Знакомство with Alex Kalinin

> Sometimes a conversation helps us put a question into words. We can talk about something you read here, a change you’re navigating, or simply get to know each other. This first 30-minute call is free, in English or Russian. Calls are available with at least 24 hours’ notice. Your chosen time is a request; I’ll check my schedule before confirming it. Иногда в разговоре легче понять, что нас волнует. Можно обсудить статью, перемены в жизни или просто познакомиться. Первый разговор длится 30 минут и ничего не стоит. Говорим по-русски или по-английски. Время можно выбрать не раньше чем через 24 часа. Выбранное время — это запрос: я проверю своё расписание, прежде чем подтвердить встречу.
