A Brand Said No to My $12,500 Pitch (Here's Why)

Episode notes

Apply for sponsorship coaching: Secure a last-minute ticket to Sponsor Games (Mar 15-18): I’m $20K in the red on my upcoming live event, Sponsor Games, and you're about to watch me pitch a brand deal in real time to close the gap. This episode pulls back the curtain on a real negotiation with Haley Janicek, Head of Creator Community at Kit. Two calls. One deal. Zero polish. Just the raw, messy, honest back-and-forth of what it actually takes to close a sponsorship when the stakes are real.
