Did you know this podcast has been going for 2 years? That's a lot of freelancing chat.

In this episode, I share some thoughts about where the podcast is going in 2023 (spoiler in the title?). 

And in case you're pondering a similar conundrum about how to move forwards (or not) with a particular project, I'm sharing some questions to consider to help you decide when to quit/take a break/power on, along the following themes:

• Enjoyment vs. value to others
• Scaling back vs. quitting altogether
• Sunk costs vs. maintaining momentum
• Filling up your creativity cup
• Keeping the goal the goal!

Thanks to everyone who has supported the podcast so far. Until next time (whenever or wherever that is), happy freelancing!

This is part two of my conversation with visual storytelling expert Jude Charles. If you haven’t yet listened to part one, go back and check that out first.

“As a freelancer in 2023, it is no longer an option whether or not you tell stories, it is imperative for you to tell stories.”

In this episode, Jude shares more tips and examples of how visual storytelling can build trust with clients, and we dive into the practicalities of using video to market ourselves.

We cover:

• 5 different ways to tell an unforgettable story using visual strategies
• Why (and how) you should take people behind the scenes of your business
• How to get shy clients to contribute to video case studies
• How to leverage your video to get more eyes on it.

How can a pair of white shoes help someone land a new client?

Jude Charles is an expert in visual storytelling – and specifically, using video to tell stories that build trust with potential clients. Because Jude had SO much brilliant advice to share, this episode is split into two parts.

In this first part, Jude explains how to harness the power of storytelling to connect with clients. As well as telling a few of his own inspirational stories, Jude also shares:

• Why sharing more of your personal story can help you stand out from the crowd
• How to tell stories that get clients to sit up and pay attention
• Why you need a "story book" journal and how to create one
• The moving story behind those white shoes.
