    So I'm way behind on all of this and I could only background listen to the video while I'm at work, so I apologize if the answer is already in there somewhere.

    But I'm already currently subscribed to the club for $10 a month. With the new structure, is it correct that I need to re-subscribe? And it's no longer a pay-what-you-want model, so I'd have to go to $5/month?

    That's correct.

    Oh p.s.
    I don't know why you'd be uncomfortable taking volunteer labor but you can take money. Take it both, it's both worthwhile. Not only can it help you in this short term crisis, but it can be kind of a test run of how you guys work with back office people outside your partnership without a lot of commitment.

    Probably because having to tell a volunteer to step lively would feel really weird.  
    Thats what I was thinking.

    A. Ron,

    Accounting/Excel issue: You need to correct an error in your spread to get a more accurate model. 

    At 1:59 on the 2016 Financial Summary Update video, you highlight Col: AN Row: 2. 

    Issue at hand is that the internal link is =AN34. This should be =AM34. Simple typo but can mess up your entire spread's calculations.

    It looks like as you scrub through the rest, it seems fine, as the other columns aren't effected. AO2 is indeed =AN34 like it should be and so on down the row.

    nice to have some good news from the US this week! After checking the post Brexit fx rate I can apparently donate 0.3 of your dollars american, still, "every little helps".

  • Almost at 30k!!!!!!!

  • The guys said they needed $38,000, $25,000 of which they needed raise by February.  I think it would be awesome if they got all the way to $38k!

    Good luck guys!  I'll throw a little more money your way as soon as I can.

    Hey guys, I'm a long time listener and a new subscriber to the Bald Move Club...I started listening around season 5 of GoT and transitioned to True Detective and now listen to the Westworld podcast too. I LOVE the content you put out and as soon as I heard you needed help I ran..not walked to my laptop to donate. I would hate to lose you, and I also told my two closest friends to donate as well because they listen to the GoT podcast only and I'm not sure they would have heard the message. As a guy who's dabbled in his own rinkadink podcast before, I know the work that goes in and I dont take it for granted. Also, as an accountant by trade I appreciate the transparancy of the financials. I plan on donating more money next month and would love to see you guys get to 40K just for good measure. Thanks for all you do, you've completely changed how I watch TV.

  • This is bullshit from Amazon. All in for a boycott if you guys want.
  • This is bullshit from Amazon. All in for a boycott if you guys want.

    I don't know how effective that would be, how many would follow through, and how many customers would it actually lose them?

    I wrote a letter that I posted earlier in the thread, maybe if enough of us sent compelling, polite letters?
  • I learned of your predicament yesterday, the day after the election.  My immediate reaction was:  I just lost my civil rights, the environment, and faith in my fellow citizens.  I can't lose Bald Move!  Then when I went to contribute today, I see you are already out of the dire straits.  I guess faith in my fellow citizens has been somewhat restored.  And I contributed. 

    I can't tell you how much I enjoy your podcasts.  In fact, it was the only thing that kept me sane yesterday.  I won't be watching the news anytime soon, so I need something to listen to. 

    Love you guys (and Cecily), keep up the great work.

    I think there are ways around this. Plenty of NGOs utilise volunteers every day because there is a such an untapped labour pool for people who want to contribute to something they are passionate about. You just need to make the expectations clear, not necessarily a contract but something that explicitly states what is expected if you volunteer for Bald Move.

    It seems like the second goal point was $38k (for 2017 solvency). Maybe a second bar? 
    This is, of course, only valid if you guys have a fair amount of head-room left to hit it. If not, maybe just go with $50k.

    I am all-in as soon as I finish my XMas shopping.

    Then, fuck him!!

    I agree. I don't see the harm in seeing and continuing the support towards the 38k. I felt good knowing I was not alone in wanting to support bald move beyond just the initial goal to stay in business next year.

    Agreed.  Plus, as they get closer to $38k, I'd be pretty tempted to throw down another donation.

    +2 I need to see a new bar with the next milestone on the site!! Make it happen
  • A_Ron_HubbardA_Ron_Hubbard Cincinnati, OH
    The bar wasn't supposed to stop updating, there was a flaw in it's logic that made it flip to "complete" when it exceeded a certain number.  We didn't notice because we were busy watching Arrival, but Jim has already fixed it!

  • Well done guys, you deserve this good news for your hard work and well done to the Bald Move community for support.
  • Over $30k!!

    I feel so good about something positive happening today!!

    When I was a kid, a grown up I liked a lot told me that found money was unlucky unless you gave some away, the universe would want to give you more luck if you were spreading that luck.

    I lucked into a little extra money, so I bought 2 shares of a podcast. I'll upgrade when I get more money. That's (along with more generous contributions from many people) making more podcast content that will make a ton of people happy.

    Which is making me happy.

    I think I've sussed out the meaning of life!!
    O.o
