Pricing was the first topic we ever covered way back in episode one, released 27th June 2024. No need to listen to that one. Our sound quality and (professional podcast conduct) has come a long way since.

On this new episode, we discuss:

what to consider when you price up projects

charging for your time versus value-based pricing

how to deal with pushback on price

whether to work for free

It's such a complex and nuanced topic, we'll probably come back for a third episode in another ten months.
