How do you know when it’s time to take the leap into full-time freelance?

In the debut episode of Echo & Ember, I sit down with Samuel Watler — videographer and editor behind Liminal Picture House — to explore the heart of the creative process and the realities of balancing freelance work with a 9-to-5 job.

We dive into the tension between stability and freedom, how to navigate self-doubt, and what it takes to bet on yourself creatively.

Whether you’re a creative on the verge of something new or simply seeking inspiration, this episode offers real talk and encouragement for those navigating the evolving journey of creative independence.
