In this episode of Sports Creatives Anonymous, host and long-time sports creative Clayton Jones dives into one of the most important, and overlooked, conversations in the creative sports world: Knowing your worth, both financially and creatively.

Whether you're a full-time staffer wearing five hats for one paycheck, a freelancer tired of being low-balled with "my cousin will do it for free" energy, or run your own business and tired of feeling like you have to charge less, this episode breaks down how undervaluing yourself hurts your mental health, your creativity and the industry at large.

Listeners will hear:

• Why creatives are more essential than they’re often treated
• How to recognize and communicate the real impact of creative work
• Common traps that keep freelancers and staff underpaid
• Actionable strategies to set better boundaries, raise rates and advocate for your value
• Honest talk about the emotional guilt that comes with asking for more in a “dream job” industry

This is equal parts pep talk, wake-up call, and practical guide for sports creatives who are done being overlooked.
