This episode’s topic, in a nutshell…

We jump into the deep end on this episode and start with the elephant in the room for many marketeers or creative professionals, and that is: the chasm between the entrepreneur and the freelancer.

I wanted to bring Liz Jostes into this conversation and pick her brain because we come from a similar small agency background and type of work, and I wanted to hear her take on this.

Highlights 

In this episode we unpack:

• How important it is to pick the right freelancer for the right job?
• How do we know if a freelancer is good or not?
• The importance of ORIGINAL content
• The risks involved in building or creating things ONLY on rented land (i.e. social media or media that you don’t own or control)

Have a good listen and see if you learn a thing or two about the kinds of professionals who are important to look out for, to work with you. Liz and I have been around the block many times – with teams of freelancers ourselves, as well as with clients. It is important to pick the right people to work with.
