This week Mark host the call and discusses with participants how to handle being slow. Do you reach out to clients? Do you take the time to work on personal work? Both? Leave the industry? When you get slow at work or as a freelancer, there can be a lot of pressure on yourself and we discuss that.

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.
