Benjamuels ,

Chock full of valuable info!

I’ve been freelancing for almost 10 years and I wish this podcast had existed when I started. The sheer amount of knowledge, tips and various perspectives have really shifted how I think about freelancing. For me this podcast is a must listen for any freelancer not just in motion design but in any creative field.
