EPISODE 142: HOW AI WILL CHANGE THE INDUSTRY
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
With the recent strikes in the industry concerning mostly the use of AI, I felt it was time to make this episode as some crew members i've spoken to this year have been concerned around AI taking away jobs from practically every department of production.

EPISODE 139: AFRAID OF BEING UNDERCUT???
Monday Nov 13, 2023
Monday Nov 13, 2023
One fear many owner/ops hate being in the middle of is the fear of being undercut by others and missing out on a job.

So let's talk about it!
