It’s a rainy day here in Rochester, perfect for deep talks and honest reflections. Today, we’re breaking down the true essence of collaboration, setting it apart from the unpaid labor and scope creep that too often plague creative work. We’ll share our own experiences—the good, the bad, and the tricky—and discuss how real collaboration should work, emphasizing trust, mutual value, and clear boundaries. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the game for years, this conversation aims to enhance how you think about working with others in the creative sphere. Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s navigate the complexities of collaboration together. Cheers!
