Producers' Happy Hour

Isolation during the pandemic: Navigating the Emotional Rollercoaster. The pandemic has brought a new set of challenges and emotional weight for all of us. But how do we navigate the feeling of isolation during these uncertain times? In this episode, we delve into real-life stories of job cancellations, handling cancellation fees with direct-to-client projects, and share expert insights on the industry standards set by the AICP Guidelines.

We also break down the difference between the CA and NYC "Safer at Home" mandate and the "Shelter in Place" or "Lockdown" orders, and bring you updates on industry developments, like AdAge lifting the pay wall on their Coronavirus-related updates.

Hear from the Freelancers' Union president, Rafael Espinal, on his plea for financial relief for freelancers and join our host, Christian, as he discusses volunteer opportunities with the NYC Medical Reserve Corps. Navigating isolation has never been easy, but together, we can make it through this.
