We still need chefs who can make gourmet meals, who have hundred-year-old recipes and it tastes very differently." - Michael Del Monte "AI can't replace your personality. There's three things you can do as an entrepreneur. You can be good, you can be reliable, and you can be fun. And I just don't think AI is fun." - Mark Bone "Every year, or I would say even every six months, you need to be making time for a project that can help you take multiple leaps forward in your career." - Michael Del Monte Guest Links Find The Art of Documentary online Follow The Art of Documentary on Instagram Follow Michael Del Monte on Instagram Follow Mark Andrew Bone on Instagram | YouTube Links Find out more about 10xFILMMAKER Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

I am pleased to be joined this week by screenwriter Colby Day to discuss all the unapid work that goes into getting paid work. I loved reading Colby's diaries of annual pitch meetings and the such for 2021 and 2022, and thought I might share them, and him, with you as a way to help you understand some of the frustrations that writers have with the current state of Hollywood. How many pitches does a writer have to make to land one paying gig? Why does it take an endless amount of time to get paid after drafts have been submitted? How could the strike help alleviate some of these problems? All that and more on this week's episode. If you enjoyed it, please share with a friend! Learn more about your ad choices.

EP 85: We've all been told that doing the free job is destructive to our career and the industry we're in. "Value yourself", "Know your worth", and "Set the bar high" are all narratives we've heard, and maybe even told ourselves, over the years. I, myself, have bounced back and forth between the idea of saying no and yes to free work, which I believe, many others have as well. In this episode, I'll talk about where I stand on this issue and what dabbling in free-work could ultimately mean for your next path.This episode is brought to you by Bay Photo Lab.
