via iTunes and the Podcast app for iPhone etc and also via Stitcher who have an Android app, or scroll down and download from here - If you like the podcast, please do leave a review if you get a chance.
Here’s some of the key takeaway points:
Network with those within your field, the competition aren't a bad
thing, it pays to get to know them
To find his first freelance gigs he simply started asking those he
knew around him and built it from there
Creative collaborations can lead to more work over time as you work
on each other's projects
Finding his finances out of control, he became obsessed with
spreadsheets and opened 4 bank accounts: business, current, saving,
tax. Everything single invoice gets divided up as it's paid.
