Bonus: How to manage perceived risks around using third party platforms (like Zoom) for your remote sessions with Riz McDonald

Send Leanne a messageAnother espresso shot episode coming to you this week! I hopped on a quick call with Foundd Legal owner, Riz McDonald to chat about a question that was raised in The Flipchart community on Facebook this week. The question was, “When writing up contracts to deliver remote sessions, is anyone including information to address potential / perceived risks around using platforms such as Zoom? Just to give an example, if someone recorded a session without your knowledge, or someone felt there was a privacy issue.  I'm about to have a client sign on the dotted line and want to make sure I'm covered” Riz shares her thoughts on how to navigate this with your clients. About today’s guest: Riz McDonald Riz is a lawyer with over 16 years of experience, She is an entrepreneur and passionate about all things creative! Which is part of what led her to start Foundd Legal.  Riz first appeared on Episode 96 of the First Time Facilitator podcast, chatting all things contract creation. Over the years working as both a lawyer and as the founder of an ecommerce business, she discovered that there were a huge number of amazing designers, creatives and fellow entrepreneurs out there who had fantastic ideas and business models, but had no access to the legal ins and outs that are imperative to running a fully legitimate, successful and protected company.  She started Foundd Legal as a way to make all of that boring, scary, overwhelming legal stuff both accessible and affordable to entrepreneurs, creatives and designers, so they can have the best shot possible of creating a legal, lucrative, kick-arse brand and business they can share with the world.
