Passion Isn't A Paycheque

The conversation between Megan and Amy blends personal reminiscences with a focused discussion about labor pay in the media industry. They recount how they met 15 years ago and share memories of their early careers and moving around. The central moment is Megan's recent experience with a job outreach where she was asked to work for free or for uncertain future pay. She pushes back, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation and contracts. They critique the common industry practice of unpaid work and share lessons from past freelancing experiences. The discussion also touches on generational attitudes toward unpaid work and the importance of setting boundaries and valuing time.
