@Brady Patterson designed for the 49ers, apple, hulu, fox sports.
now he brands roofers and garage door companies. and he doesn't charge a flat fee, he takes a cut of the leads.
most designers read that as a step down. it's a designer who found clients that can actually measure him.
a big tech client has forty inputs feeding revenue and no way to isolate yours. you get paid for the deliverable and the value of your work stays an opinion.
a roofer has a phone that rings or doesn't.
that's the client who can pay you on results. not because they're generous, because they can prove it.

Great podcast, a lot to learn from this fella 🧠
Amazing
This is a powerful reminder that measurable impact beats prestigious logos. Clients who can directly connect your work to business results create stronger partnerships, better incentives, and long-term growth for everyone. Great conversation—looking forward to watching the full interview.
great🙌

Bold electric blue and orange instead of the usual muted SaaS palette, because a product this confident shouldn't look shy about it. 💙
