This week we started the call with an open topic and quickly moved to talk about success. What is success to us? Why do we listen to other's definitions of success and not define it ourselves? How do we change our mindset? It got deep!

This is our last call of 2020! We talk about our biggest wins and losses of the year, and not to toot our participants' horns, but it was super inspiring to hear so many great stories of triumph over hardships. From being laid off and losing loved ones to successful first-year freelance and being hired by dream employers.

Whatever holiday you're celebrating, we wish you the best and thank you so much for your support this year! We'll see you on January 11, 2021! Happy New Year!

This week we had a participant request to talk about the best ways to course-correct during a project. How to not overproduce and burn out. Making sure communication stays high. The soft skills of being a freelancer or running a business that you can't just learn through a tutorial. Plus our normal open discussion shenanigans.

This week we have a reasonably lengthy call about the responsibilities we have as vendors/artists. Not overpromising and under-delivering. What does a day of work mean to people? Are you to be at your desk the whole day waiting for the client at all hours? Should you be able to work as you would in any situation? How are we expected to just turn on the creativity at any moment? Of course, general banter and tomfoolery as well.

This week, Mark hosts an open discussion on the call. We talk about sending out estimates to clients and a variety of ways to do it. Afterward, we ask, "why doesn't critique happen in the industry?" Why do people get so offended by it? As an art form, why don't we have critics like other mediums?

This week Mark tried to figure out, "what the f*ck is Crypto Art?".  There are a ton of new platforms selling crypto art selling works from big names from the digital art world.  And it seems like art collectors are starting to take notice.  Last week Beeple sold 3 pieces for $66,666 USD each.  Although people are starting to look into Crypto Art, it is still the Wild West.  Buyer beware.
