This week we were re-joined on the podcast by Julia Chesbrough, a subscription product designer.

We were so excited to have her come back on and dive deeper into several topics that were near and dear to each of us. 

We talked about how to get started if you're completely brand new to building a fractional business, how a few LinkedIn modifications can help, the software Julia uses to run her business, how she plans out the future for her client work, and what a deep work day looks like for her. 

If you're interested in learning more Julia has a monthly chat with folks interested in offering subscription design. The next one is August 12 at 10am Pacific. Message her on LinkedIn for details.

This week we're joined on the podcast by Julia Chesbrough, a subscription product designer.

This topic was especially interesting to Joshua, a product designer as well, and we were able to dig into Julia's history to learn about the growth of her business, the design industry as a whole, and where she sees her business going in the future.

We also talked about the pros and cons of a subscription based service business, and the mental health journey Julia has taken along the way.
