Episode 9.2 - The Mountain

Author: Ewan Brock February 4, 2019 Duration: 30:36

*** RIP Episode 9.1 ***

You were a thing of beauty. But you weren't destined for this cruel world.

Yet again, misadventures in technology have led our boys to loose ANOTHER episode to the void. We join the boys immediately afterwards as they battle to record the podcast for a second time.

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."

Strap yourselves in, this isn't going to be pretty.

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.
