Episode 118: Undercutting (uuuuugghhhhh)
•
Episode 118
Continuing from last week's conversation- I'm tackling the question from my girl Ali about "what to do about undercutting uuuugggghhhh"
What you'll hear:
- Avenues you can pursue to make a living wage as a performer without doing anything else 1:15
- On last week's episode- flipping the script
- Subject #1: UNDERCUTTING. What it is and why it happens. 2:50
- Why it doesn't happen in other industries the way it does in the freelance performance gig industry 4:00
- Two frustrating truths about how to handle undercutting: 7:00
- #1: The ONLY action I can confidently say actually works to confront undercutting in your community is having the conversations with the people doing it.
- #2: Why it will continue to happen even if you are having these conversations. 8:30
- Ask me how I know (it was me. I was the problem, it's me.) 9:40
- The answer to the question- why did I create The Audacity Project? 11:15
- What NOT to do about undercutting and wanting to be marketable 13:36
- The questions I do recommend asking yourself 15:30
- To those who say "I'm afraid of stepping on someone's toes" 17:30
- In closing...nearly every industry I observe is built to exploit those who engage with it. We can know that and we can still have excellent lives in integrity 19:30
- Creatrix is open to the public! I would love to guide you towards the thing that is most authentic to you as an artist, and teach you some witchcraft while we're at it. 21:30
Don't go back to sleep.
