Today's REBEL is… all of us. In light of the political unrest of this week — from the Barcelona terrorist attacks to the hate rallies in the United States — Deane devotes today's episode to the discussion of whether it is wise to espouse your political beliefs with your art. What is the REBEL way when it comes to the "separation of church and state" in terms of your creative output? What's the smartest play and how might your choices, either way, impact your fan retention?

Today's REBEL is Dave, a longtime friend of the show who brings up the very relevant topic of clients who take advantage of "project creep"… the phenomenon referring to changes in the agreed upon parameters of a project, at any point after the project begins. You might recognize the scenario: You're hired on a gig, but after you start, the client changes what needs to be done, and pretty soon you have gone far beyond the call of duty but are still getting paid the same amount, regardless. Welcome to "project creep". It's not fun. It's not sexy. But, what can you do about it?
