This week, we’re talking about building the version of yourself you refuse to compromise on.

We break down what it means to truly become the creative you envision, not just in skill, but in standards, mindset, and the projects you say yes (and no) to. We talk about setting minimum levels of engagement for your pricing, understanding that your rate isn’t just a number, it represents the level of quality and creative integrity you’re willing to put your name on.

We also get into the psychology of business and reputation, when it’s okay to bend your rules for a client, and when saying “no” actually protects your value long-term. We discuss the difference between discounting for loyalty vs starting new relationships on the wrong foot, and the power of positioning yourself to attract clients who meet your standards.

Finally, we explore why personal projects are the foundation of discovering your highest creative standard. It’s in those projects that you find the version of yourself that sets the bar, and once you’ve experienced that, you’ll never want to compromise again.
