Today, we look ahead to identify the mindset needed to make a living in content creation over the next decade (00:00).

Peter talks to Wendy Heimann-Nunes, co-managing partner at Nolan Heimann LLP, to break down why the work-for-hire mindset is obsolete and how creators can surgically dissect their content into multiple revenue streams (02:25).

Then, Wendy explores how the physical and digital worlds can converge into the future of content creation (24:49).

Here's the 20% you need to know about this episode:

• Don't sell everything as work-for-hire. Retain unused rights for other verticals.
• Contract for uses that don't exist yet (metaverse, AI applications, digital twins).
• Multiple strategic licenses could work better than one blanket sale (unless priced for all future uses).
• Surround yourself with courageous advisors who understand both risks and opportunities.
• Storytelling/creative skills are now valuable in retail, hospitality, museums, and corporate, not just entertainment.

Ba-ba-ba-BAAH! Today it's our 3rd Annual AI Predictions! (00:00).

Bittner #2 (33:59)
Peter #2 (39:31)
Bittner #3 (42:42)
