"I signed up for a free webinar on Thursday."
"Oh yah? What's it about?"
"Increase energy, decrease anxiety all through breathing."
"Wim Hof?"
"No, Ari Whitten."
"Never heard of him."
"I hadn't either, but Dave Asprey promoted this webinar, so I signed up for it. I looked him up and looks like he's got a book out."
"So the free webinar is just to get people to buy his book."
"Yah, I'm not falling for that one. I bought the e-book ahead of time, so I don't get pulled in by the sales pitch."
"So you bought the book even before the webinar?"
"Yah, on my own terms. I'm not going to get caught up in some sales funnel or hard sell."
"But you bought the book."
"I figure I can page through it and get an idea of what he's going to talk about. Maybe I'll get the chance to ask a question."
"So your avoidance strategy to not get caught up in some sales pitch is to pre-emptively buy what he's selling?"
"He he actually, I didn't even buy it. I found the e-book for free on Z-Library."
"So stealing is your strategy then."
"Look, I've bought plenty of books in my lifetime. If this book is good, I'll end up buying it and giving away copies to people."
"That's very white of you."
