SHOW LINKS EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Hey guys and welcome BACK to the Creatives And Designcast; the show by a creative, for creatives. I’m your host Taron Joyner and this is the SECOND episode of this show. Thank you to everyone who tuned in to listen. I am super excited to continue to connect with some cool creatives and talk about subjects that we ALL want more insight or advice on. This is the second episode that I decided not to feature guests but for those of you who are new listeners, know that you CAN expect to hear guests who are fellow creatives on future episodes. On this week’s episode, we will talk about Creatives & PRICING, BILLING & The MONEY MINDSET! Ready? Let’s talk turkey! “If your quote doesn’t make you nervous, it’s not high enough. Meditate on your goals and how money can get you there. Also, [meditate] on your ideal clients, because money is great but working with nightmare clients is not.Melissa Alam, Alam Digital SEGMENT 1 Money. Moolah. Dinero. Pesos. Dough. Cheddar. Paper. The many different names or shall I say terms of endearment for money is a list that could go on for several days at best. Before I get into the pricing and billing, I want to talk about money in general. Any issues regarding how an individual navigates pricing and billing for their business, often tends to evolve around our persona relationship with money.  Money is at the heart of capitalism and capitalism is the fuel for the machine better known as the United States of America. Actually, pretty much any modernized country depends on money to operate. As citizens of our respective countries, we are all introduced into a relationship with money, oftentimes before we reach the age of maturity. With most of us having first dealt with money in our mid-late teenage years and into our ongoing adult lives, it’s so strange that we get antsy and nervous when talking about it. For some odd reason, it’s more comfortable to hear someone tell you how much they are going to give you than for you to tell them how much they should give you, despite your experience, years of knowledge, investments in yourself and other factors.  This is called “The Money Taboo” which speaks to the fear behind speaking about money. Porochista Khakpour, a novelist and journalist in NYC believes that the money taboo means  “people are going to get cheated over and over, and it tends to be women, people of color, people in marginalized positions…if people are silent about problems, things can be perpetuated.  And she is completely correct. When you don’t discuss money in the way that it benefits you, then you leave yourself wide open to being fucked over in the process. But what is the WHY? Why do we as humans subject ourselves to being bullied by money that we actually have the power to control? Anthropologist Caitlin Zaloom states that we have to consider a few factors to understand why. She says, “Your value as a human being is somehow made material in your pay and in your accounts”. Furthermore, if people were to be more honest about forthright about their income, they’d be “exposing how they are valued by their employer and others.” Since there is no standard of measurement for financial metrics, people find it hard to know where we fall on the spectrum in comparison to our family members, friends, coworkers, etc.  Being intimidated, embarrassed and silent about money only holds us back from breaking the silence and asking for the money we deserve. TaRon Joyner All of this can be a hard pill to swallow…considering. This is an issue that can be fixed and that’s the bright side of it. After all, most of you listening now are freelancers, entrepreneurs, and/or artists so surely, this won’t be the toughest thing you’ve done or will do.  So, let’s start with reversing how you view money. Growing up, most of us have probably heard the age-old adage, “money is the root of all evil.” Personally,

There is a growing trend of freelancers throughout the world. Although her beginning is very similar to hear, her path has many interesting twist and turns. Melissa started her entrepreneur career during her studies of marketing at Temple University. After college, she worked at a few ad agencies before she went completely on her own as a freelancer. She felt comfortable with her decision to become a freelancer because she likes traveling, she likes the ability to make her own schedule, being own boss, and of course all of the additional life style perks of a talented individual who freelances. During her time helping some of the best marketing companies throughout the world, Melissa started her own online magazine called Femme and Fortune. Femme and Fortune currently has over 90 contributors discussing things like dating, culture, lifestyle, tech, travel, and so much more. All for the millennial female! Melissa's next business is a co-working space, all for women. "Creating the Hive Philly has been a life chasing experience" Says Melissa. She loves the changing landscape of business and wants to find a way to empower women. Not only throughout the Philadelphia region, but the world! When asked why!? Melissa responded in saying that she saw a void in the marketplace. "There is no location or business in philadelphia for women." She started the magazine to put out a modern and millennial voice for her magazine and a place for women to create and build with the Hive Philly. Melissa hates having nothing to do. She's constantly busy and enjoys being "all over the place" Her passion comes from the want in creating name for herself. Judging by her work ethic and passion in her voice, it's obvious that she's off to a great start. #Timestamps 00:30- Introduction 2:30- Passion 5:30- Growing Online Business 6:40- Failure 8:20- Efficiency 10:30- Marie Forleo, Middle Finger Project 14:45- Is There a Formula? 17:00- Build Your Network, Never Stop Working, and Have Fun! 19:30- Coconut Soup Melissa Alam Email: melalam@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/RingTheAlam Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissaalam Business Website: http://femmeandfortune.com __________ Techie, Millennial Author, WWE Fan, Podcaster.
