S1EP7: Should You Ever Work for Free as a Creative?

Should You Work for Free? Every filmmaker, photographer, and content creator faces this question at some point in their career.

In this episode, I break down when it makes sense to say yes, when it’s a trap, and how to tell the difference. From spec projects to passion work, I share real-world scenarios from my own career—plus a 3-part filter called the *Opportunity Triangle* to help you evaluate if an unpaid gig is worth the risk.

Especially relevant for music industry creatives, but valuable for anyone building a career from their art.

Thank you so much for listening🙏🏻
