Great idea, I’ve been looking for something like this to help build my understanding of how other designers work and cope with the wonderful world of graphic design.

It’s good to know your not alone in these situations!

I look forward to many more Podcasts, as I listen to them on the way to work… as a kind of pep talk!

This really touched me because just a couple of days before I passed through this i.e. “Just to get the client project, we often say – Yes, sure I can do that for you free
And this just gets lingering on and on…
Now I’ve changed and say Yes, it can be done and it will add $XYZ to do that.

There’s good conflict (meant to help you grow) and bad conflict (meant to bring you down). I try to discernt between the two and welcome the first but run from the latter! Jonathan at http://www.theproblemwithreligion.com
