In Episode 003, we mostly talk about contracts, copyrights and image usage.  With digital photography and social media, clients want unlimited usage of imagery but no longer want to pay for that privilege.  As photographers, we've had to adjust to that as there is no longer exclusivity.  

We also talk about having a strategy for backing up and restoring your data and files on your computer.  My laptop died and I didn't really suffer because everything was backed up or on the cloud and easy to restore.
