community — Season 11 — BEING FREELANCE - Podcast and Community for freelancers

Freelance to be free - Art Director and Graphic Designer Lina Forsgren

Lina began freelancing in college, where she founded a feminist communications agency with a friend, and she’s worked independently since then.

She chats to Steve about the speaking gigs that make her anxious for weeks, the time she nearly hit a wall from working too much, and the community she created for women and non-binaries within the creative industry.

Building a business on reputation - Digital Marketing Consultant Paul Sutton

Alongside his consultancy work, Paul produces a weekly podcast, runs an annual conference and hosts a Slack group. He talks to Steve about how each drives new business for him and how he manages his time with so much going on.

Paul also reflects on a difficult period of burnout that reminded him how crucial proper breaks are.
