About this listen
Unpaid gigs with “great exposure,” a passion project with no budget, or a student film that might lead somewhere (but also... might not). In this episode, Carissa and Emma Claire break down how to make smart, strategic choices about work that doesn’t offer monetary compensation, and how to know when it’s actually worth your time.
WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:
- The moments when working for free is actually valuable
- The biggest red flags you should look out for before accepting a free gig
- Why time, money, and energy are limited resources and how to protect them
- Our personal stories of unpaid gigs that helped us (and ones we regret)
- How to evaluate opportunity cost
- Why “busy” doesn’t always mean “productive”
- The rule of résumé, wallet, and soul and how to use it when weighing unpaid work
