Conversations worth your time.

You are senior enough that your calendar is a target. TheGoodIntro turns the few conversations worth having into a real gift for a cause you choose.

How it works for you

Three steps, nothing hidden.

01

You set what is relevant

Tell us the priorities and challenges you want to talk about. Anything outside that never reaches you.

02

You get qualified requests

A vendor must state the specific initiative or problem before they can ask. You see the reason and decide. No obligation.

03

One focused conversation

You have one focused conversation, and a real gift goes to your chosen DGR-endorsed charity.

What a request looks like

See one before you decide.

No abstraction. This is exactly what lands in your inbox when a vetted vendor asks for time: who they are, the stated reason, why it is relevant to you, the gift to your chosen charity, and one tap to accept, decline, or send to your EA.

  • The vendor and their verified role, up front
  • The specific initiative, in plain language
  • The exact gift to the charity you chose
  • Accept, decline, or forward, all inside the email

What they want to discuss

Acme helps finance teams move budget pacing and forecast accuracy from quarterly to weekly. Lachlan would like 45 minutes to walk through the operating model behind it and the three places it most often breaks in the first quarter.

Why you, specifically

Your move from product to platform over the last 18 months is the exact phase where pacing tends to break, and where Acme has helped similar finance teams most. Two of your peers suggested the conversation would be worth your time.

If you accept, $1,000 directs to Headspace
Your standing nomination. Reply CHARITY to pick a different DGR-endorsed charity for this meeting only.

Accepting holds a 45-minute slot in your calendar in the next two weeks. We'll find a time that works for both of you and send invites automatically. If you decline, Lachlan is told politely and without your name attached to the reason.

The 10:1 rule

You are never the whole room.

For every vendor we admit, there are at least ten executives. Your inbox is not an auction where everyone chases the same few names. Requests stay scarce, relevant, and easy to decline.

  • At least ten executives for every vendor we admit
  • Vendors are not bidding against a crowd for your attention
  • Fewer, better requests, never a flooded inbox

Executives to vendors, deliberately
What your time is worth

Your time is already so valuable. Do more with it.

The only thing a conversation asks of you is your time, and you spend it on your terms. The charity you choose receives a real gift every meeting, from $900 to $1,200. You never pay.

You direct exactly where the donation goes, and the charity you choose receives its share of every meeting, paid entirely by the vendor.

Questions

Good things to ask.

Is this just a sales meeting in disguise?
No. A vendor cannot reach you without writing the specific initiative or problem they want to discuss, and that reason is shown to you in plain language before anything is scheduled. The conversation is led by your priorities, not a pitch. Vendors who treat it as a cold sell lose access. The model only works if executives genuinely want to be here, so it is built around your interests, not theirs.
What actually counts as relevant?
You define it. You tell us the priorities, initiatives, and problems you would take a conversation about, and you can be as broad or as narrow as you like. Anything outside that scope never reaches you. You can update or pause your topics at any time, and a vendor still has to state a specific reason that fits before a request is shown to you.
How many requests will I get? Will I be flooded?
No. We hold a deliberate 10:1 balance, at least ten executives for every vendor we admit, so no leader is ever the whole room. For a typical founding executive that is two to four requests a quarter that actually fit, not a daily inbox to manage.
What happens if I decline?
Nothing. Declining is the normal case, not the exception. There is no penalty, no score, no follow-up, and no explanation required. You see the stated reason first precisely so that saying no is fast and free. A vendor cannot contact you again about a declined request.
Which charities can I choose?
You choose from our curated shortlist of DGR-endorsed Australian charities, and you can nominate any other DGR-endorsed charity, which we verify and add before your first meeting. You can change it at any time, and nominate a different one for each meeting. That is exactly where your meeting's gift goes, and you receive written confirmation that it was made.
What does it cost an executive?
Nothing, ever. Joining, setting your topics, declining requests, taking meetings, and leaving are all free. Vendors fund both the platform and the donation. There is no future tier where executives are charged, and the founding cohort is grandfathered against any change.
How much of my time is this, realistically?
One short, focused conversation per request you accept, typically 45 minutes. No preparation, no homework, and no obligation to continue after the call. You only take the meetings you choose.
Is my information sold or shared?
No. Your details are not sold, traded, or shared publicly. Vendors only see what you choose to make visible, and a request is only ever shown to you, never the other way around, until you accept it.
