Episode 66 - Dettol

Author: Ewan Brock September 8, 2020 Duration: 1:02:47

Hello dear listener! As the UK starts to think about leaving lockdown... we're taking a wee stroll down into London's underground to have a nice little laugh at some utterly awful advertising. COME JOIN US!!

Come and join Ewan and Ollie 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. Follow our VERY*  successful and VERY* professional careers and tell all your friends.

You can follow the podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FreelanceAsF

*may be an overstatement


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.
