# Intro Call with Richard

> Think of this chat as a chance to share your story. We want to hear about you, your business, and the vision you’re working toward. Along the way, we’ll explain how our process works and talk through possible next steps together. The slot is 15 minutes, though we usually finish a little earlier. If you’d like to spend more time digging in or asking questions, we’re more than happy to take the whole time.
