Ben Mcleay from the fabulous Boonta Vista Podcast came for a visit this week and we spent approximately ten thousand hours drinking and chatting about the unpredictable nature of freelancing and the weird jobs we've carved out for ourselves. I have mercifully cut this down into about an hour and a half for your listening pleasure. My favourite episode yet, we wade through the murky waters of #hustleandgrind Tik Tok, learn about the habits of successful people (psychotic celebrity routines) and discuss the death of the internet by way of Search Engine Optimisation.

I almost called this episode "EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING." - I would classify this episode as "destined for headphones" - if you're not into heaps of swearing I'd give this one a miss (but don't, it's really funny and great)

Today’s ep was recorded way back in September with my amazing friend Jacqui Cowan who is a young and endlessly impressive person that runs a popular brand under the name Lil’ Js’ Vintage. Jacqui has a really great sense of humour about herself and the unique world of events management, markets & vintage fashion that she lives in. This episode is one big storytime for you all. Jacqui just had so many great stories and insight I couldn’t really bring myself to chop it up into too many segments.

THAT SAID - I still had to cut out like two freakin’ hours from our interview, we were up all night talking…. and as such I will work on finding the right place to put some extended versions of this episode eventually!

But for now, please enjoy the company of one of my funniest, hottest, successful friends, whose life is just as much a comedy of errors as the rest of us. Kind of a relief to be honest.

HUGE THANKYOU TO MY GUY AL BATES FOR MY NEW INTRO SONG I LOVE IT I LOVE YOU!!!!!

For our maiden voyage of the pod, I am joined by artist, designer and freakin’ girlboss Sam McKenzie. I do not ask him a single question about what he is working on. Maybe I should rethink this podcast thing.

INSTEAD, through a series of ridiculous segments and campfire stories, we get the scoop on some of the hidden truths of freelancing - stolen work, client horrorstories & what we like to call ~MOODBOARDING~

PLUS I force Sam to watch a bunch of horrible little Tik Toks by hustle & grind artists. And finally, we get a keyhole view into the mind of a Scorpio, via Sams’ Youtube landing page algorithm. Artists! They’re just like us!

Tune in to Episode 1 of Don’t Worry It’s Not Just You! I love you! Sorry!
