Purists, be damned...despite what artsy fartsy culture has told us, there are practical realities of operating as a freelancer of any kind including making sure you’re standing out from the rest of the competition. In this episode, the boys examine what it means to "stand out" both in terms of talent and strategic positioning within this saturated, competitive industry. Yes, everyone’s going gaga over Rick Rubin’s “The Creative Act” but the boys throw a little shade at its core concept and, as always, each other. Most importantly, their primary aim is to provide actionable insights and strategies for creatives hoping to edge their work forward. What makes you different from your competition? Why is your artistic POV needed? How are you actually going to break through the noise and demand attention?
