Webflail

For Ep 43,  my guest is Ran Segall.

I’m sure this man needs no introduction to listeners of Webflail but for my mum who listens to these episodes who maybe doesn’t know him, Ran Segall is a full stack designer, content creator and owner of an online webflow school, Flux Academy.

I first came across Ran maybe 5 years ago when I watched one of his daily vlog videos. And I became pretty obsessed. He cycled through Tel A Viv on the way to client meetings, sat in his office explaining the structure of a landing page or sharing behind the scenes of his startup, Prospero. I think I and of lot people connected with Ran because he was curious, enigmatic and exceptionally clear at explaining complicated things in a simple manner.

This helps to explain the insane success of Flux Academy when it was first launched and planted the seed for the success to come. Flux eventually became the core focus and he has now built a team around him for the academy to be fully fledged and robust business.

The failures we talk about in this episode are:

1. not releasing original project files to client
2. working with friends and family without clear boundaries
3. working without a clear design brief

For Ep 42,  my guest is Fateh Khodamoradi (fateh jadamoradi) better known as Kabarza.

Kabaraza is a fascinating member of the Webflow space as you are about to hear in this episode. You may know him from his involvement as a coach and creator for Flux Academy. He’s a Webflow designer and developer that is also building Flowing, a plug in that ensures you have built your Webflow site correctly by helping you do quality assurance checks before publishing. However, although Kabarza is flying high now in a stable life and career, he has had a challenging journey to get here. Kabarza immigrated from Iran to Germany in 2015 by crossing 9 borders and travelled 4,5000km. We talk a little bit about this during the recording.

The failures Kabarza talks about are:

1. Not seeing an absolute client red flag
2. Burnout after making 2 courses and getting hit by the issues in his home country.
3. Losing a huge client

Hello and welcome to episode 39 of Webflail. I’m your host, Jack, and today my guest is Matias Piters.

You will have probably seen him if you’re in the Webflow Twittersphere after he did his 100 days of clones. He was a designer that came across Webflow in 2014 when he was working for a digital design agency in New Zealand. However, he went all in on webflow in 2017. In 2019, Joe Krug from Finsweet reached out and asked him to join Finsweet and he worked there for over two years before deciding to start an agency called Bookmark. He is now focussing his practice on just dev!

The failures we talk about in this episode are:

Failure No 1 - Not standing by the price I gave to a client

Failure No 2 - Not sticking to the plans I make. This is both, personal and professional life. In the professional life this can be seen as not executing and a plan I already did to gain more client.

Failure No 3 - Stepping out of a closed deal because I was afraid I couldn't deliver.

For ep 37 of Webflail, I'm speaking to Thorir Runarsson

I met Thorir for the first time in real life a few days ago at the London Webflow meetup although I have spoken to him online in a café Nero with terrible wifi before that. Thorir founded Snowhouse Studio in 2020, the icelandic powerhouse of a studio. Exceptional partnerships and client projects have helped him grow fast (a mixed blessing as you are about to find out). He now has over 9 people working with him at the studio. Not only that but he’s a father of 3 too! He is crushing it in the webflow space.

Fails we talk about in this episode:

1. Growing too fast + hiring too quickly
2. The Unlimited Plan Subscription did not work for our agency.
3. Not knowing your numbers

Also, my beautiful mic wasn’t connected for this episode. anyway, my audio isn’t very good but luckily, thorir’s is and he is the man who you actually need to hear so hopefully it’s all good. Will check the mic is plugged in next episode. LOL.

Hello and welcome to episode 36 of Webflail.

I’m your host, Jack and today my guest is Connor Finlayson.

You probably already Connor if you are listening to a podcast all about Webflow freelancing but for those that haven’t, Connor is a no code weapon. On his YT channel with over 11K subs, he helps people who cannot code build their own online businesses with no code tools like Webflow, Airtable and Zapier. 

Connor comes from a marketing background and then came across webflow in 2018 which helped him spin up landing pages fast. He wanted to get more freelance work so instead of building a portfolio website, he built a directory for freelancers and put himself at the top. He then built this in to the Unicorn Factory, a job board for New Zealand based freelancers. Now, it’s is his main source of income.

The failures we will talk about are:

Failure 1: Not pulling the plug on my first startup Hatcher sooner

Failure 2: Splitting my time between doing Facebook ads and no-code as a freelancer

Failure 3: Taking on too many projects at once

Today, we'll talk about
