This week Michelle asks, “What are some things to keep in mind when working with others?” Brandi shares two key thoughts on how to collaborate with other creatives.

:53 On this episode we’ll be talking about Designers, Collaboration, and Ego.

2:11 Michelle threw caution to the wind and auditioned for a musical!

4:13 Would you consider baking shows reality tv? We need to know!

4:52 Michelle has been watching random documentaries. On this weeks list: Chef’s table, Iris, and The Great British Baking Show. SO. GOOD. Also, she called it The Great British Cooking Show. She’s so American. *rolls eyes*

7:02 Kooky. The Great British Baking Show is kooky.

7:44 Brandi went to California, and the beach was nice but cold. (ohhhh, pobrecita….)

9:23 Vida: a company that pairs with artists and the makers. Legit. Check them out! They’ve asked Brandi to be an artist that they collaborate with!!!!

15:37 We have a Spotify playlist! Go follow it!

16:17 Question time.

16:30 What are some things to keep in mind when we are working with others.

16:50 ONE: Have the same direction.

17:18 It’s important to have a leader. It’s like having too many cooks in the kitchen. If we all put our ideas into a specific “recipe” it’s going to come out terrible.

18:15 TWO: Know each others strengths and weaknesses.

19:00 You can’t do everything, and it’s ok to not be the best.

19:20 Know your own strengths! Check out some of Brandi’s earliest work on her instagram! She has worked to improve! However, she still admits that she is not an illustrator. 😀

22:00 How do you work with people who are hard to work with?

22:30 If there is a clear leader, then this will be easier.

23:00 An employee might be written up for insubordination, students may receive a bad grade, etc… It’s not about your ego, but it is about maintaining a reputation.

28:30 Give us your feed back on www.brandisea.com and @brandisea on Instagram & Twitter. Check out Vesperteen – Thanks to him for letting us use his song, Shatter in The Night, for our show. Wouldn’t be the same without some Vesperteen in our lives!
