This week we are chatting with Carolyn Tate, a former journalist turned agency founder. Carolyn talks about her career as a freelancer, setting up her agency, and what she has learned along the way.

During our discussion, we talked about:

• How the way she worked changed after an ADHD diagnosis
• How her freelance career took off after she started thinking like a business
• How she learned that rejection is just part of freelancing
• The challenges of hiring and managing staff
• How and where she finds clients
• How AI has affected her work - and how she uses it
• Why following the brief will bring you repeat work
