This week, we talk to agency owner and copywriter Alana Wulff about contracts: what they are, why you need them, and the stuff that can go wrong with and without one. Tune in to hear:

How Alana started using contracts in her business and why
Why a contract is a living document you need to keep updating (especially when something on a project goes awry and you want to protect yourself in future)
How having a lawyer in your back pocket can be very useful (and what to budget for)
Actual contract horror stories and how they were resolved
What happens when your client wants to you to sign their contract and you want them to sign yours
And much more
