Scott Perry is Creative on Purpose's Chief Difference-Maker and author of the Amazon top-sellers Endeavor and Onward. Scott is also the head coach for Seth Godin's Creative and Freelancer Workshops. 

Scott has mentored and guided thousands of freelancers in helping them deliver work that is aligned with who they are and their key strengths, enhancing their own lives as well as the lives of others.  In this episode, Scott shares with Conor his personal freelancing journey along with the key lessons he has learned throughout the adventure. Key points covered in the episode include;

• Scott’s freelancing journey from inception to now.
• The importance of doing work that fulfils and fuels you, rather than depletes and exhausts you. 
• Freelancing joys, fraught and frustration.
• Good habits & intentions for freelancers to set in place.
• The importance of relationships especially when working independently. 
• How Creative on Purpose came to light and scoring the first, not 10 but 11 clients. 
• Defining your endeavour and finding your audience. 
• The practice of stoicism – navigating and thriving through adverse & difficult experiences.  
• Mistakes freelancers can make at the beginning and throughout their journey. 

Scott is a husband and father, goes for a cemetery run every day, and quotes Marcus Aurelius more often than he should. For over thirty years, Scott has found and spread joy as a professional musician and guitar teacher while maintaining a happy marriage, home-schooling his sons, and paying the bills. The process Scott developed and employs is time tested and scientifically vetted.
