Remember the first time you realised you could never be happy clock-watching in someone else’s office? Brian Clark had the same epiphany – and turned it into a series of eight-figure ventures built on words, audiences and low-overhead tech.

Founder of Copyblogger, StudioPress, Further and the Unemployable podcast, Brian has spent two decades proving that a tiny, fiercely creative team can out-punch lumbering corporates – and live life on their own terms. In this opening episode of Season 4 he lays out a playbook for anyone who quietly suspects they are ‘proudly unemployable’ too.

‘You can build a very lucrative business out of just yourself or a very small team, or with the aid of freelancers.’

Brian is the writer-turned-entrepreneur who created Copyblogger – once dubbed ‘the bible of content marketing’. With zero outside investment he spun that blog into an eight-figure suite of digital businesses including StudioPress themes, Rainmaker software and two widely read newsletters (Copyblogger and Further). Today he hosts the Unemployable podcast, championing small, high-profit ventures that prioritise independence over headcount.
