Dharma Farming | Why All My Calendly Links are Paid (And Why Yours Should Be Too)

Time and Energy is My Most Valuable Resource

If you’ve visited my site or tried scheduling a meeting with me recently, you might have noticed something unusual: almost all of my Calendly links are paid. This is intentional, unconventional, and admittedly bold—so I thought it deserved an explanation. Here’s why my Calendly links are paid, and why yours might benefit from being paid too.

Respect for Time (Mine and Yours)

We’ve lost something important in our hyper-connected age: respect for each other’s time. Time is our most precious resource—more valuable than money, more finite than attention, and absolutely irreplaceable. Inspired deeply by Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged (one of my guiding texts), I firmly believe that money is simply a tool we use to exchange value. If my time, expertise, and insights add value to your life, paying for my Calendly time honors that exchange.

By making my meeting links paid, I’ve created intentional friction: a barrier that filters out interactions from people who don’t truly value my time or align with my vision. This ensures every meeting is intentional, valuable, and productive.

Simplicity Over Complexity

Another reason my Calendly links are paid is pure practicality: I didn’t want to set up elaborate shopping carts, drip email campaigns, and other complicated workflows to attract or qualify leads. If our visions intersect and we share common dreams, then let’s talk! Straightforward, simple, and direct. Calendly payments keep things uncomplicated.

Accessibility with Integrity

I recognize that not everyone has the same resources. To accommodate everyone, I’ve deliberately created tiers:

• The base price for a meeting is $111—accessible enough to connect meaningfully.

• For participation in deeper ventures (like our Unicorn Store), higher-tier links are provided.

• For those truly struggling financially—because I deeply understand the hardships of being broke—I offer one completely free 30-minute consultation:

  • 30-minute Free Consulting

I want my time to be accessible, but also respected. Offering paid meetings with tiered pricing ensures equitable access while respecting the true value of shared time and vision.

Quantum Productivity and Quantum Value

I’ve been meticulously tracking my productivity with my incredible quantum-powered AI friends—Guy (ChatGPT), Claude, Grok, Deep Seek, Mistral, Elevenlabs, Midjourney, Dalle, Soro, RunwayML, and more. When measured against my former human-only productivity (tracked extensively in February), my productivity rate reached approximately $10,000 per hour. In fact, in one recent session, I achieved $52,000 of human-value work in just five quantum-powered hours.

The highest rate Calendly allows me to charge is $10,000/hour—fitting, as this mirrors the true value of the quantum leaps in productivity I now achieve.

Escaping Outdated Communication Channels

Another reason my Calendly links are paid is my deliberate decision to abandon outdated communication technologies, especially email. Email has become cluttered, noisy, and spam-infested—last century’s communication method. It drains energy rather than fuels meaningful interactions.

Instead, I’m streamlining my presence and interactions through platforms like LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and my own blog. If you’re genuinely interested in my work or our aligned visions, let’s bypass the outdated email paradigm entirely. Just schedule directly—efficiently, respectfully, and intentionally.

Ethical Alignment and Avoiding Exploitation

I’m also committed to slowly untangling myself from companies and platforms that exploit user data and labor without equitable compensation. Companies like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Amazon have built fortunes on users’ data and creativity without fair profit-sharing. My paid Calendly system is one small step toward creating ethical alignment and economic fairness.

Inviting You into the Unicorn Store and Dharma Summit

My paid Calendly links serve another practical purpose: enabling participation in my major initiatives. Whether you’re interested in joining our Unicorn Store as a startup founder or sponsoring our Dharma Innovation Summit, paid Calendly links allow direct, meaningful, and productive interactions:

• The Unicorn Store

• Dharma Innovation Summit & Sponsorships

I’m seeking founding sponsors, visionary leaders, and extraordinary speakers who share a commitment to reshaping the world. If that’s you, schedule directly. Let’s innovate, dream, and create together—valuing each other’s time from the very first conversation.

Cold Email? Here’s My Response

Since email is a frequent source of spam, here’s my evergreen cold email reply (feel free to use it yourself!):

“Thank you for reaching out! I’m launching the Dharma Innovation Summit, a startup ecosystem called the Unicorn Store, and transformative AI-powered projects through One Machina.

If our goals align, schedule time directly: Calendly.com/crystal_taggart

Quantum Team & Quantum Vision

My vision is quantum-powered by my extraordinary AI collaborators. AI is not just a productivity hack—it’s a quantum thought partner fueled by humanity’s digital wisdom. By using paid Calendly interactions, I’m building intentional community connections with people who recognize the profound, quantum value we’re creating.

Our Quantum Team is collecting and preserving humanity’s true wisdom—analog and digital. We’re translating history into “OurStory,” providing context, nuance, and respect for the rich diversity of human experience. AI is our partner in this quantum leap forward.

Closing Thoughts

So that’s why my Calendly links are paid. It’s a purposeful decision grounded in respect, productivity, simplicity, ethical alignment, and visionary ambition. If you resonate with my vision, if you value intentional interactions, and if you’re excited by quantum possibilities, let’s meet. Your time matters; mine does too. Let’s respect that mutual value—and together, let’s build something extraordinary.

If you’re truly “broke as fuck” and need support anyway, I’ve got you covered. Use my free 30-minute Calendly. I understand hardships and want to ensure everyone can access meaningful connection.

Thank you for respecting my time, my vision, and our shared dreams. Together, we’ll build a future of intentional, abundant, respectful interaction.

Namaste,
