Wisdom Nuggets

If you're running paid content, if you are using content that has someone identifiable in it, always remember you have permission from that person. It doesn't have to be a huge contract it can even be a DM if you do it the right way. 

Any brand or deal that would blow the deal up over your request to spend more time looking it over, isn’t someone you should be doing a deal with.
