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.
