If you’ve ever opened a client email and thought “WTF?!” “the AUDACITY” and “ummm....” all within 1.7 seconds, today’s stories episode is for YOU — because, this time, we asked for stories... and, as usj, you guys did not disappoint.
So, pour yourself a cocktail (this ep’s drink is fittingly named Cause Mo’ Problems), and giddy up — because you’re gonna hear about that good ole’ ~freelancer experience~ where your client takes days and weeks to respond, only to *immediately* demand edits; finding the photography you did ON SOMEONE’S WEBSITE WITHOUT PAYMENT; the absolute adrenaline rush of demanding payment via email, and good ole’ ghosting.
Because, let’s be honest — sometimes freelancing is a lot like online dating. 🥴
Alright, friends — you ready to light up your earbuds with red flags, cocktails, and freelancer commiseration? You know what to do!

Part of us wanted to just leave the summary blank, because with a title like that, you really don’t need a summary.
HOWEVER, for the sake of professionalism and our inherent need to type our angst into words, you’re going to get a summary.
In today’s episode, we had a visit with Aundre Larrow, who filled us in on some of his worst freelancing stories. They of course include danger, sexual harassment, and wasted time.
Not that anyone asked.
We’ll also cover the topics of choosing when to book a client, and when to pass. Because your time is valuable, sweetie.
If you’re ready to hear us pick on each other, it’s probably time for you to mix up a drink and listen in! And of course, if you’ve got a crazy freelancing story to share, submit it at perourlastemail.com. We promise to read it as dramatically as possible.

Had we known we could excuse ourselves from responsibilities, irritating clients and bills to pay with, “I’m sorry, I’m cranky today,” we’d be different women. In fact, let’s try it. Hey, electric bill? We’re cranky today.
In case you didn’t catch it, we have a juicy little story to share from none other than our beloved Anna McNaught (or as some of you might call her in the DMs - Amanda McNaughty). Oh, and then you’ll get to hear us read off an internal email conversation from our Weekend Creative team inbox, because, well, we’re cranky today.
Look, this episode is such a struggle that we had to drink a CELERY AND DESIST. Do we love celery? No. It tastes like the inside of a blade of grass. Did we choke it down, because of the title of the drink? Why yes, yes we did.
Mix up your celery cocktail (and pretend you’re juicing), because you’re going to need it. Then, come listen and laugh along with us. Got a crazy freelancing story to share? Submit it at perourlastemail.com.

In today’s episode, we spent some time with Billy Green of Wit & Vinegar... and let’s just say the tea (or vinegar?) that he had to share? It burned.
Not only will you get a chance to learn about Billy’s long-standing wordsmithery, but he also shares some insight to his entrepreneurial journey. Then, we covered a few things like introing colors, clients who approve, then disapprove their own approvals (can anyone hear our screams for help?), keeping creative control as the photographer, OH and clients who sneakily use photos they say they won’t.
Oops.
Mix up a cocktail, because you’re going to need it. Then, come listen and laugh along with us. Got a crazy freelancing story to share? Submit it at perourlastemail.com.
