NOT AI AGAIN! | Jul 13, 2026

This open discussion episode starts with live events, collaboration, and freelance positioning — and one rule: no AI talk. That rule lasts about six minutes.This episode covers:<ul><li>How to stay visible without making everything yourself: Why collaborations are quietly doing more for freelance work right now than solo output.</li><li>The call opener that gets clients talking: How to turn cold outreach warm, and why leading with your credentials is the wrong move.</li><li>Why your reel might not be what's getting you hired: The case for selling your process and your soft skills instead.</li><li>The difference between AI slop and AI that actually drives your software: What happens when you hand an approved script to an agent and walk away for coffee — plus the argument for why it's still not worth your time.</li><li>How to spot "tool slop" before you download it: Vibe-coded plugins are flooding the market, and provenance is becoming the only real filter.</li><li>Where to draw the line with generative AI: The push-button test, and whether gen AI storyboards quietly contaminate everything downstream.</li><li>How to talk a small business out of the AI flyer: The argument that actually lands — and it isn't water usage or artist harm.</li><li>How to price your work when the client wants an AI discount: Flat rates, rate cards, and who should be paying for those tokens.</li><li>On being the tired cheerleader: An honest note about burnout, survivor's guilt from the COVID boom, and the LinkedIn positivity trap.</li></ul> Upcoming Events:<ul><li>Game Night: Wednesday, July 29th, 6:30pm Pacific — Gartic Phone is the official game, with optional Mecha Chameleon afterward</li><li>Open discussions are held the second Monday of every month</li><li>No guest episode scheduled this month — pitch a guest if you've got one!</li></ul> Visit <a href="MondayMeeting.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">MondayMeeting.org</a> for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!

Think Like a Writer with Pennant Video | Jun 29, 2026

In this special guest episode, Ben Drake (head of motion) and Shaw Flick (creative director and head of writing) of Pennant Video join the Monday Meeting team to talk about how motion designers can think like writers—from daily writing habits to hooks, structure, and saying more with fewer words.This episode covers:<ul><li>Writing as thinking, not word smithing: Why the real skill is finding the underlying message and structuring ideas—and the daily morning practice that builds it.</li><li>The writing/motion overlap: Patterns, contrast, rhythm, transitions, problem-and-resolution—how the writer and the animator are solving the same problems.</li><li>Less words on screen: Why mirroring the VO hurts retention, how text length quietly drives runtime, and where on-screen words actually earn their place.</li><li>Pennant's mid-funnel approach: The "video marketing trifecta"—differentiation, demonstration, validation—and the anthem, explainer, and testimonial work it shapes.</li><li>Live script reads as a client unlock: Reading a first draft aloud on the call instead of emailing it—and why it beats the ChatGPT scripts clients tend to send.</li><li>Start with the goal, not the deliverable: Digging into what a video needs to do before any craft call, with a Datavant trade-show piece that turned "powered by AI" into a turbine-engine metaphor.</li><li>Hooks that actually pull people in: Bucketing ideas into themes, generating in your own head over a chatbot, lenses like "list and twist," and a book recommendation for silencing your "inner ding-dong."</li></ul>Upcoming Events:<ul><li>Next Open Discussion: July 13th (second Monday of each month)</li><li>Next Game Night: July 29th (last Wednesday of every month, possibly debuting Mecha Chameleon!)</li></ul>Visit <a href="MondayMeeting.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">MondayMeeting.org</a> for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!

Moving through Disappointment After the Deadline | Jun 8, 2026

In this open discussion episode, the Monday Meeting team leads a conversation about the emotional side of creative work—processing projects that get canceled, separating your identity from your output, and leaning on community through the freelance feast-or-famine cycle.This episode covers:<ul><li>When a project gets shelved at the 11th hour: Why it stings more when you've poured yourself in—and how to tell over-investment from imposter syndrome.</li><li>Separating yourself from your work: How to keep your work from becoming your identity—plus a book recommendation that helps.</li><li>"The client is not your friend": How to stay emotionally distant while still doing your best work.</li><li>Reframing canceled work: How a shelved project can still earn its keep—and why the ownership outlasts the client's approval.</li><li>Coping strategies that actually help: The small daily habit that brings back a sense of control when everything else feels out of your hands.</li><li>Soft skills over creative: Why how you handle a project going sideways can matter more than the final result.</li><li>The feast-or-famine booking cycle: Saying "no," the "full restaurant" effect, and the booking pattern every freelancer keeps running into.</li><li>Community as a lifeline: How these calls and the Discord help carry people through rough seasons.</li></ul>Upcoming Events/Schedule:<ul><li>Game Night: Wednesday, June 24th (now every last Wednesday of the month), ~6/6:30 PM Pacific—playing Gartic Phone</li><li>Next Open Discussion: Monday, July 13th (now monthly, every second Monday)</li><li>Off-Monday "Open Office Hours" voice channel on Discord for portfolio/reel reviews—not recorded, so good for NDA-sensitive work</li><li>Open to guest hosts and topic requests; new social media memes and challenges rolling out</li></ul>Visit <a href="MondayMeeting.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">MondayMeeting.org</a> for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!
