We teamed up with The Unapologetic Designer podcast for a special crossover episode featuring Kenzi and Marisa from The Brief Collective, and we’re getting real about the money side of design.

We’re diving into the mindset shifts it takes to break free from the “starving artist” myth and start booking the kind of high-ticket clients that actually value what you bring to the table. From positioning yourself like a pro to navigating imposter syndrome and confidently raising your rates, we’re laying it all out.

Whether you’re just starting out or trying to level up, this one’s packed with hard truths, actionable tips, and plenty of laughs along the way.

🎙 Topics we cover:

• What high-ticket really means
• Breaking the low-pay cycle
• Attracting premium clients (without being salesy)
• The confidence game in creative biz
• Saying no to bad-fit projects
• Personal stories + battle-tested strategies
