An old client from two years ago wants the original design files from a past project—but you're worried about losing future work by handing them over. Should you push back, charge for the files, or just let it go? In this episode, Preston and Clay tackle Kevin's dilemma about whether to fight for those source files or take the high road. Their advice might surprise you: sometimes the smartest business move is the one that feels like you're giving something away for free.
