Giving Back To the Ocean with David Dennis

Giving Back To the Ocean with David Dennis

Author: K Enagonio December 28, 2020 Duration: 32:23

This week on the Project Freelance podcast I am chatting with David Dennis of Ventana Surfboards and David Dennis Photography! David wanted to create an eco friendly, high end surfboard company that could be used to give back. They participate in vendor events and donate 10% of their sales to a local ocean conservation organization of their choosing. They select organizations with a proven track record of achieving results. They also offset the carbon impact of their customer shipments by funding forest protection projects using Offset by Shopify.

There’s a lot of noise out there about the “gig economy,” but what does it actually take to build a lasting, profitable, and fulfilling freelance career? That’s the central question explored in Project Freelance. Hosted by K Enagonio-a working filmmaker, photographer, and musician-this podcast moves beyond theory and gets into the granular, often unspoken realities of independent work. Each conversation with a seasoned professional strips away the glossy social media facade to reveal the hard-won lessons, tactical advice, and honest struggles that define life outside the traditional office. You’ll hear specific strategies for attracting better clients and commanding rates that truly reflect your value, alongside discussions on navigating contracts, setting boundaries, and designing a business that supports personal freedom, whether that means working remotely or crafting a sustainable schedule. This isn’t about side-hustle hype; it’s a practical resource for anyone serious about turning their skills into a legitimate, self-directed career. By focusing on real stories and actionable insights, this podcast provides a genuine sense of community and guidance for the journey from uncertain freelancer to confident creative professional.
