We could also talk about potentially sponsoring a content series of episodes/coverage related to EA cause areas

Hey Austin--Thanks for reaching out, I'd definitely be open to this sort of arrangement! I had GiveDirectly purchase ads in the past and they were actually quite successful. Reach out to https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayla-fishman/ for context and I'd be happy to send a pitch deck with more numbers attached.

@joel_bkr For starters, it's so great to get this thoughtful feedback!

I'm going to reach out to you directly as I don't feel super comfortable a good number of these questions in a public setting.

Hey Joel!

Lots of things I could do with smaller dollar amounts. Buying back some of my time would be a part of it, but also I'd love to:

--Be able to commission more and more involved articles/pieces of research from guest contributors (right now I can only really give $100 honoraria which limits how much I can ask of people to sub 1500 words)

--Run reading groups (it would be fantastic to do something akin to this https://scholars-stage.org/soviets-cybernetics-and-china-a-reading-program/ on the geopolitics of AI)

--Commission a scholar to create some coursework for a 'how to read the CCP' online class https://www.chinatalk.media/p/2021-year-in-review-future-plans

--Hire part-time support for video to improve ChinaTalk's reach on youtube

--Run an internship program or a full training program (I can send you a pitch deck for this) to help support the next generation of China/China+tech analysts

Happy to connect to discuss! I'm at jordan@chinatalk.media
