Scope creep isn't just a budget problem — it’s a boundary problem. And most creatives don’t realize they’re inviting it in.

In this short, sharp episode, Chris Do breaks down the psychology of scope creep, why it happens, and how to protect your time, energy, and client relationships without feeling like the bad guy.

You’ll learn how to anticipate change, communicate expectations early, and avoid the resentment spiral that can destroy great projects.

What You'll Learn:
✅ How to proactively prevent scope creep before it starts
✅ What to say when a client requests “just one more change”
✅ The subtle cost of over-delivering—and how it erodes trust
✅ Why charging a premium is your best defense
✅ Scripts to set boundaries without damaging the relationship
