Continuing from last week's conversation- I'm tackling the question from my girl Ali about "what to do about undercutting uuuugggghhhh"

What you'll hear:

  • Avenues you can pursue to make a living wage as a performer without doing anything else 1:15
  • On last week's episode- flipping the script
  • Subject #1:  UNDERCUTTING.  What it is and why it happens.  2:50
  • Why it doesn't happen in other industries the way it does in the freelance performance gig industry 4:00
  • Two frustrating truths about how to handle undercutting: 7:00
    • #1:  The ONLY action I can confidently say actually works to confront undercutting in your community is having the conversations with the people doing it.
    • #2:  Why it will continue to happen even if you are having these conversations. 8:30
  • Ask me how I know (it was me.  I was the problem, it's me.) 9:40
  • The answer to the question- why did I create The Audacity Project?  11:15
    • You can learn more about it and sign up for the waitlist here
  • What NOT to do about undercutting and wanting to be marketable 13:36
  • The questions I do recommend asking yourself 15:30
  • To those who say "I'm afraid of stepping on someone's toes" 17:30
  • In closing...nearly every industry I observe is built to exploit those who engage with it.  We can know that and we can still have excellent lives in integrity 19:30
  • Creatrix is open to the public!  I would love to guide you towards the thing that is most authentic to you as an artist, and teach you some witchcraft while we're at it.  21:30

Don't go back to sleep.
