In this episode I compare the concepts of spec and pro bono work, lay out reasons why you should pursue one and entirely avoid the other, and offer a safe approach to accepting and managing pro bono projects. <span style="color: #be8841;"><strong>SHOW LINKS</strong></span> <a href="https://www.nospec.com"><strong>No!Spec</strong></a> <a href="https://designobserver.com/feature/design-competition-as-bake-off/39527"><strong>Design Competition As Bake-Off </strong></a> <strong><a href="https://freelanceroadtrip.com/email">Newsletter Subscription</a></strong> <a href="https://portland.aiga.org/design-contests-are-unethical/"><strong>Design Contests Are Unethical</strong></a> <strong><a href="https://freelanceroadtrip.com">Freelance Road Trip Program Membership</a></strong> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-2f230f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="2f230f4" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">How To Own Your Freelance Choice and Be Proud Of It</h3> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-27083661 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="27083661" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Is freelancing one step away from unemployment?
