    It's not often you get to sit down with a lawyer let alone someone like with Braden Drake—a lawyer for creatives, business owners, and drag artists.

From what to think about when you're coming up with the best offer you can to how to handle it when the haters show up because your offer is just that good, we talk strategy, the absurdity of overpriced templates, and why sometimes shaking up the market is the best move you can make. But don't get it twisted! This is not legal advice.
