“Like you said, it's changing constantly. It's changing rapidly. It's been changing since Sunday evening.”

A quick disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and the information shared during this episode is for informational purposes only and not for purposes of providing legal advice. You should contact your attorney to obtain advice with respect to any particular issue or problem. And as Paige mentions during the episode, while she is a lawyer, she’s not your lawyer.

Attorney Paige Griffith, of The Legal Paige, joins me for a special live episode of the Brands that Book podcast to discuss contracts, specifically what you need to know when cancelling or rescheduling events. With what’s going on in the world right now and this subject being top of mind for lots of people, we opted for a live episode so that people could access this information sooner than later. We cover quite a few different scenarios in this episode and Paige has also written a blog post on this topic. I’ve linked to that and other resources Paige has available on her website in the show notes

If you want to know about any of the live recordings we have coming up, be sure to sign up for our mailing list. We don’t plan on making every episode a live episode, since streaming live has its own set of challenges. But I think in certain circumstances, like with today’s episode, it’s worthwhile.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.
