Date: 2026-08-04 (updated 2026-08-09) Source: Email thread “Re: Thanks for booking” - george@georgeblackman.com Reminder fired: Aug 4 via Superhuman, then again Aug 9 via Superhuman - still no reply from Michael
Signal
Michael met with George Blackman (YouTube script/channel coach, georgeblackman.com) and Ben in early June 2026. After the call, George outlined a “closer partnership” package. Michael’s reply (Jun 8): “That package could make sense for us. Let me run through some budgeting things on our end this week, and take a pass at some updated scripts.”
Michael then deferred, citing being slammed before France (Jun 16): “Planning to move forward, just been slammed. Have a reminder set to touch base next month when I’m back.”
George followed up again Jul 13 (after France). Michael replied he’d just gotten back and would reach out “soon.” Superhuman reminder fired Aug 4 - no follow-up has happened.
Status
Commitment overdue. Michael has twice signaled intent to move forward, never converted. George has been patient - 3 follow-ups over 2 months.
Business relevance
YouTube coaching relates to Michael’s personal brand channel (@callmehouck). George specializes in scripting and channel direction. If Michael decides to invest in the channel, this is the vendor relationship to reactivate. YouTube Script Playbook is at ~/YouTube-Script-Playbook.md.
Next
Michael needs to either close the deal (reply to George, get package details, commit budget) or explicitly pass with a kind decline. Leaving George hanging further is a relationship risk.
