As freelancers we’re always thinking about how we can facilitate long term relationships with clients. How to make ourselves invaluable to them and be the first choice for work. So we chatted to Olga Pope about How to grow your value as a freelancer - not only in the sense of earning more, but also growing your professional worth. Olga’s worked in some of the country’s top agencies. She’s became a freelancer mid-pandemic, and now works as a copywriter and brand consultant. She wrote "Want to Become a High-Earning Freelancer? This Is For You. 12 zero-BS, highly specific steps to raise your value as a freelancer." (link below) published on Entrepreneurs Handbook. The article grabbed our attention and we knew we had to get her on the show. Get your note book and buckle up for one hella golden nugget episode

We have been wanting to chat about mental health for ages now, but it’s even more apparent that this conversation is necessary post-pandemic. We are not all cookie cut-outs from the same dough, yet the system we are born into; school, work environment, isn't set up quite well enough yet for all our individuality. How do we find the work, that works for how our minds operate? So we chatted to someone who’s experiencing this in real time – Martina Gordeen – a freelance content creator and cultural consultant. A self described young, black woman who’s assertively taken her future into her own hands by recently going freelance, while dealing with overcoming grief, being neuro divergent and suffering from mental health problems.

Please note, we are not professionals nor is our guest, please seek qualified and professional help if you are experiencing any mental health issues.

The self-employed are not the most desirable bunch to a mortgage lender, even though we can potentially earn more than those in perm positions. So how do we look more attractive to get the mortgage we want, for the dream home we desire? In this episode we chat to fellow freelancer and home buyer Adrian van Cooten, Lead Product Designer. Adrian’s been freelancing for over 8 years and just recently purchased his second property. We discuss how he did it alone the first time round, what he has learned along the way and some insightful tips and tricks to getting your way with the market. As both of us venture through this house buying process, we learned so much from this chat. We hope you do too. It’s time we freelancers stick together and share the stories, because it can be done.

Here is a link to one of the disruptor mortgage advisors Adrian mentioned in the chat.
