As a freelancer, “can I pick your brains?” is pretty annoying because having your brains picked reduces your time to actually bill people for work. See also: “we can jump on a call to talk about the project” - Nah mate. This industry has a weird thing about free advice/work.

Pro tip: get a budget from potential clients before even thinking about getting in meetings and calls.
