# Discovery with Rich Flynn

> A 30-minute conversation, no slides, no sales pitch. The point is to understand what you're trying to do, what success looks like, and whether I'm the right consultant for the work. About a quarter of these calls end with both of us politely concluding I'm not the right fit — that's a good outcome, because the alternative is taking on the wrong project. Video by default. Google Meet link will appear in your confirmation email.
