a home, how has that process and timeline changed? Is it taking
longer to sell homes? Are clients wary of having potential
homebuyers tour their space? All thoughts/insights appreciated.

Name: Michael Toebe Red Diamonds Newsletter

Category: Public Policy and Government

Email: query-b11u@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Red Diamonds Newsletter

Deadline: 8:00 PM EST - 17 July

Query:

TOPIC and ANGLE: seeking a great source to talk about loss
aversion and how we can work through it's grasp on ourselves to
make quality decisions. I'd also talk with you about the
ramifications on reputation for allowing loss aversion to rule
our decisions.

NOT the ANGLE: this topic is not about when we should avert
potential loss. That's another topic. Balancing the two can be
discussed.

PUBLICATIONS: this will be for both a Red Diamonds Features
article AND the weekly Red Diamonds Newsletter (both on the
Medium platform).

HISTORY: I have written 28 Red Diamonds Features (interview)
articles. The Newsletter has been published 43 times since Sept.
2019.

INTERVIEWS: I have interviewed CEOs, entrepreneurs, professors,
authors, practice leaders, well-known experts in their field,
strategists, executive coaches, reporters and more. I've
conducted 61 interviews in the last year (55 percent women - 45
percent men).

ARTICLE: for those I choose to interview and publish, I offer a
link to a professional profile and possibly a professional
profile homepage. I also will request a professional photo to
upload, not too small or excessively large and in focus, with
the piece.

ABOUT: I have worked in newspaper and radio and now lead a
specialist communication firm. I have written articles for a
handful-plus of online business magazines and as part of my work
now, publish Red Diamonds Essays and the two other publications
previously mentioned.

Requirements:

1) Please write a precise, detailed yet concise (tight)
description of who you are and what you do. I do not require a
lengthy description. Just looking to get to know you briefly. :)

2) Please precisely, concisely (tightly written) detail a
response to loss aversion and how we can work through it's grasp
on ourselves to make quality decisions. I'd also talk with you
about the ramifications on reputation for allowing loss aversion
to rule our decisions.

3) I will reach out to the person or persons who most grasp the
topic and specific angle I've proposed. Please talk generally
instead of your specific work. That will be more of interest to
reads in the publications I publish.

4) DEADLINE: I work best with responsive people. I realize and
respect you are busy. I will need to submit to you interview
questions via email AND have replies and a proper-sized
professional photo received in my email no later than Saturday
or Sunday afternoon, CST, to publish by next week.

5) Thank you. :)
