WHAT WE DECODED
→ What separates timeless logo design from decoration—and why great marks communicate a feeling instead of literally depicting a service
→ Why resentment toward client work is often a pricing problem, and how asking for more creates a cycle of confidence
→ Why the discovery call wins the deal long before the proposal—and how strong questions turn an audition into an audit
→ How differentiation and necessary friction can make you the prize, protect the relationship, and help you win as the highest bidder
→ Why Chris walked away from Blind’s client work to scale The Futur—and why low expenses and owned assets are foundational to real wealth
→ Why hourly billing commoditizes expertise—and how creatives can use AI to increase leverage, charge for judgment, and avoid obsolescence
