Episode 10 - The Mountain... AGAIN...

Episode 10 - The Mountain... AGAIN...

Author: Ewan Brock February 11, 2019 Duration: 37:30

HARK! LO! BEHOLD! EPISODE 9.1 HATH BEEN REBORN FROM THE ASHES!!

Kind of like when Gandalf the Grey is sent back as Gandalf the White, this episode returned to us in our time of need.

I could get into the technical back and forth of retrieving this episode but would anyone care? No, probably not. But look on the bright side, you get to be a part of this wonderful adventure.

For a second time (or the first time, depending on which way you look at it) we discuss Neil Gaiman's words concerning his choices, goals and plans.

"Something that worked for me was imagining that where I wanted to be – an author, primarily of fiction, making good books, making good comics and supporting myself through my words – was a mountain. A distant mountain. My goal.  And I knew that as long as I kept walking towards the mountain I would be all right. And when I truly was not sure what to do, I could stop, and think about whether it was taking me towards or away from the mountain."

Let's get back to the mountain!!

We (Ewan Brock and Oliver Cuthbertson) have been freelancers for 7+ years and friends for even longer.

Come and join us for an informal chat about all things freelance/self employment and laugh along as we try to figure out how to "make it" and discuss a new topic every week.

Ewan Brock hosts Freelance As F, a business podcast that cuts through the glossy, often unrealistic success stories surrounding self-employment. Here, you'll find a candid and frequently humorous conversation about what it actually means to build a career on your own terms. Each episode digs into the unvarnished details-from navigating inconsistent income and difficult clients to the solitude of a home office and the myth of perpetual freedom. This isn't about inspiration without substance; it's a practical, sometimes cheeky look at the daily grind and small victories that define the freelance journey. The discussions are grounded in real experience, offering relatable anecdotes and straightforward perspectives that resonate whether you're just considering the leap or are a seasoned veteran. Tune in for a refreshingly honest take that replaces romanticised notions with the tangible, messy, and rewarding reality of working for yourself. This podcast serves as both a companion and a reality check for anyone in the independent trenches.
