I really enjoyed this episode. it's amazing to hear how James seems to do nearly everything the opposite to what the conventional freelancer books say and be so successful
Recently discovered the show during our brief global apocalypse! loving the honesty :p As a mature designer/creative still fighting with impostor syndrome of my discipline after all these years, I am finding the conversation encouraging and motivational to keep going. I'm about to embark on my own personal journey away from agency life and listening to you guys and gals advice is getting me excited for the future. keep up the good banter. Stay safe and keep creating.
