If it’s on a fulltime salary where you’re trying to get me to bleed for free? 2 projects max.

If it’s hourly paid freelance? The most I’ve juggled is 4 but by all means, keep ‘em coming!

It definitely depends on the size of each job. The total number of jobs I can keep in the air is greater if they are not all big productions and include a few jobs like revisions to previous spots, a couple of radio spots, maybe a talent renewal. Twenty is my max probably, assuming two or three large to medium productions and then other smaller jobs. but I definitely work a little more than I want to when I have that many jobs in the mix. So, 10 to 15 is more comfortable.

How long is a string?

2-3 with 1 side gig project is perfect
