$50/moVIP PatronIf you would like to support my work at this level each month, I will, in turn, meet with you for (1) one-on-one 60 minute session each month to discuss any topics that may be of interest to you (in addition to the thank you message from tier 1). The session will be subject to finding a time that works for both yourself and myself and is limited to the patreon supporter who made the donation (unless arranged otherwise with myself ahead of time).
