Collin Strachan chose differently — he left corporate, hit the road, and started a production company that's worked with brands like Dude Wipes and Ridge Wallet. In this episode, you'll learn how he stopped pitching and instead used LinkedIn to create inbound opportunities, why they refuse to negotiate price with clients, and the real tradeoffs of mixing work and play.
