We’ve all been there before. You’re on a call with a client or potential client, and you get that terrible feeling in your gut. The red flag. Our co-hosts have experienced just about everything when it comes to client interactions. Pricing disputes, lack of budget transparency, design by committee, and so much more. In this episode, we’ll explore some of our red-flag moments, ridiculous client requests and how we deal with them. Grab a cocktail, and join us.

It’s our inaugural Shit Show Stories episode! We dug through a mountain of listener submissions and found a real gem to share and discuss. Warning, if you’re in marketing (like Jamie), you’ll want to have a drink before listening. Our hosts share relatable stories, red flags, and showstoppers, while Karen gives insight into working with people you don’t have respect for. Be sure to check the show notes for an original illustration of Justin by Von - it won’t disappoint! It’s a super creative shit show. Enjoy!
