In this special Roundtable, we are joined by Austin Saylor — freelance veteran, founder of Plus 25k, and advocate for helping freelancers succeed — to spark an honest conversation about how we can work better together.

Topic we will dive into:

• What freelancers wish studios understood (and vice versa)
• Common friction points — and how to eliminate them
• How studios can build better onboarding, relationships, and loyalty
• Why setting clear expectations upfront benefits everyone
• Ideas for shaping a stronger studio–freelancer ecosystem for the future

Whether you hire freelancers regularly, occasionally, or simply want to stay ahead of the curve, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Let’s tear down the walls and build better bridges — together.
