00:00 Introduction
03:20 Could you give some words of encouragement to makers starting out and trying to keep their head up through (gestures broadly) all this? As a freelancer did you set up any kind of savings/retirement fund for yourself?
12:08 I was hoping to find some advice how to beef up my portfolio, besides the usual CV, a PDF with images of my work and a link to my website.
18:48 Did working with your team on the Starfield project give you similar good vibes to working with the Mythbusters team?
20:00 I have a Creality resin printer, which when it works, is fantastic. Any tips?
24:25 Was there ever a time you found something dumpster diving and were like "omg this is the mother load!"
30:42 How do you handle the contentment of your current role with preparing for/keeping an open mind about new opportunities?
43:31 As a freelancer, have you ever had a client who employed a company you worked for try to employ you directly and if so, how do you cut out the middleman without sacrificing the relationship?
45:41 When doing project for a friend’s business, how should one calculate labor if it feels like doing a favor but they expect you to bill them?
49:16 Do you lean toward showing someone how to do a job, or do you think they should be handed the instruction manual and allow them to learn from their mistakes?
55:17 Any strategies I can employ to organize the business side as a self employed maker?
