Webflail

Today, my guest is Julieta Rubio. She's a frontend developer based in Argentina, and combines her love for technology with her passion for art and design.

She’s got an interesting background - she was a tour guide for a wine company in mendoza before retraining as a Growth Engineer for Embeddables building websites and embeddable tools using Webflow, Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3.

While she was working at Embeddables, she was learning, growing and developing and starting to get some freelance work.

Now get this, after 4 years at Embeddables, she’s just quit to strike out on her own as a freelancer.

She recently obtained her Webflow’s Partnership certification and now she’s ready to rumble 🎉

Some fails along the way so far include:

1) Drastic site blunder

2) Payment method nightmare

3) Complex migration face plant

Today, my guest is David Anierobi!‍

Some David facts:

• He’s a designer and web developer located somewhere in Amsterdam (currently although he's a digital nomadding around at this stage of life)
• He’s passionate about education too - with a YouTube channel with 2.12K subs where he teaches tips about Webflow, and a mentorship program called unlocking the power of Webflow, the man shares as much as he devs.
• He freelances with clients and also freelancing for agencies.
• He’s probably got one of the biggest smiles out there in the Webflow space.

His philosophy in life is "I can do all things... if given the right opportunity and chance to" which is beautiful - he’s hustled and bustled to get to the position that he’s in in life. BUT, has it been easy? Has it always been predestined? 

Or has he had some face-plants and failures along the way that have given him the insights he needed to succeed?!The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

1) Not understanding the business of freelancing. Not getting full disclosure Or details for a project and it didn’t end well.

2) Being too positive made you lose a good gig. Never saying “NO”. This is a situation I still battle with 😆

3) Placing more focus on tools rather than people and connection

Today my guest is Dan Hardaker.

Dan is the Director of Digital Design and co-owner at Proctor + Stevenson.

P+S is one of the UK’s longest-established full-service marketing agencies, offering business-to-business marketing strategy, branding and technology.

Dan is one of the longest-serving employees there having been there for 11 years and 8 months.

Clients include Panasonic, Epson & South West Water.

But if this agency is such a well-established and more traditional agency, you might think that

they are not stuck in their ways, stuffy and less forward thinking.

Far from it - this agency is quick to adopt new technology and Dan is hyper aware of available tools and tech out there.

Their new website, built on Webflow, and explorations of how to use Webflow more broadly with enterprise clients are helping to push the UK Webflow market forward. We’ll get in to this more in today’s episode.

You might think life has always been pretty rosy for Dan if you look at him now with a formidable team, enterprise clients and beautiful office in the heart of Bristol.

But as you may have guessed, there’s been some fundamental fails to learn from to get here.

The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

1) Clear Communication
2) Comprehensive Testing
3) Due Diligence in Hiring

Hey Webflailers!

Today, my guest is Keegan Leary.

Keegan Leary, otherwise known as Webbae, is somewhat of a legend in the Webflow community.

After having served 10 years in the Navy as a submarine officer, he graduated from coding bootcamp (Hack Reactor)

He then went on to Upwork and was top ranked (100% Job Success score, 20+ ratings, only 5-star ratings)

He then I’m diving headfirst into becoming a better programmer by teaching others on my YouTube channel and offering tools and apps (7.55k)

Since then, he's launched:
Webflow 201 course → Patreon → Clip Bae → Asset Bae

When he’s not on the tools, you may find running up hills trail running and backpacking with his wife Heather. For fun.

He’s at the peak? Or is here? And did he stumble on his path to success?

The fails we’ll talk about in the episode are:
1) Almost sinking a sub in port...
2) Failures with restore from backup
3) Pricing his 201 course...

Hey Webflailers!

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Isabelle Cuisset.

Fascinatingly, her background is in merchandising.

She has an extensive background in the fashion industry, working with major luxury brands such as Burberry, Loewe, and Prada for over two decades.

Moving towards the digital world, she graduated from a ten-month Web Development Bootcamp at TripleTen (ex Practicum by Yandex) in 2021. Driven by her passion, she decided to launch her own web design and development studio.

3 days a week, she’s still in the fashion world and 2 days a week as a Webflower.

The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

1. Failing to realise what you see is not always what you get!
2. Failing to get content from clients before starting a project
3. Failing to learn something new every day

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Kendra Rainey.

She’s the coolest woman I know.

She’s the VP of Strategy of Content at Edgar Allan in Atlanta in the States.

She’s writing a book about branding and a dead simple strategy for people if wondering if branding is bullshit.

She’s a strategist and writer who's been shaping brands and creating creating content for companies big and small for the past decade and a half.

She’s been a freelancer, a big brand-agency strategist and most recently, manage the brand and content strategy practice at a boutique digital product shop

Naturally, failure has been part of her story just like any successful webflower we have on the pod!

The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

1. Failed to launch a career in public education and then failed to be a big-shot NYC agency creative
2. Being a crappy off-the-cuff performer for a long time
3. I spent a lot of time failing at appearing confident and assertive in your younger years

Hello and welcome to episode 89 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Christina Liubynska.

She is constantly juggling different projects. 

With Supercharged, she she helps early stage startups by consulting, designing and developing websites that bring them higher profits and happier clients.‍ 

She also freelances with agencies like Nexus Creative with Dylan Harrocks and with ViDesigns with Vimalam Vijayasekaran.

With Navbar Gallery, she’s building the home to the best navbars on the internet. She’s one of those people that’s a multi-talented but for someone as young as Christina is and as talented as she is, she’s pushed her comfort zone a lot.

Naturally, failure has been part of her story just like any successful webflower we have on the pod!

The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

1. Not building an audience earlier
2. Wasting a year designing for free for a startup
3. Not getting any projects or work in nearly a year

Hello and welcome to episode 88 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Stephen Wise.

He’s a creator and entrepreneur. He started as a freelance web designer but now he does a range of things like writing, making videos, running his agency, DEMAND FLOW.

He’s obsessed with figuring out how we can live better and build profitable internet businesses.

Demandflow is design and development on demand for different subscription packages.

There are now 7 people in the agency despite only launching in 2022.

So, the agency is moving in the right direction and he seems to be managing to maintain a balanced lifestyle too but has it always been rosy?

The failures that we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

• The 3 week project that turned into 3+ years…
• Ignoring the scary S word… Not running things like a business
• Focus, Focus, Focus

Episode 87 of the Webflail podcast is with Rob Hope! Yo! Podcast creator, One Page Love Founder and prolific creator with over 15 other projects that were either sold or slowed...

Rob was a freelancer for a decade designing and building websites for clients BUT HE NOTICED A PROBLEM

Clients used adjectives to describe what they wanted for websites but there wasn’t Godly or Landing Love like there is now.

So Rob started collecting website references to show to clients

As you may have guessed, this led to the creation of ONE Page Love. Since 2008, he’s curated over 8,000 single page websites.

Now Rob is a prolific creator.

He’s started dozens of other projects from hosting companies to audio recording apps, to domain names to a Music social network and blog creator called Rock Lifestyle.

Of course, some worked, some didn’t.

One Page love has been far from smooth sailing too. If you are one of the OGs that’s listened to 86 episodes of the pod, you know some of the most successful people have had some of the most epic fails…

The failiures we’ll talk about in this episode are:

1) Starting a hosting company

2) Going all in on one stream of monetization on One Page Love

3) Hiring someone full time when it wasn’t right

Today my guest is Jess Rosenberg. Jess is an obscenely talented individual.

Jess is a design & creative leader, designer, manager, ideas person with 18+ years of experience helping brands tell their stories in differentiated and breakthrough ways.

You may know her because she was the director of Brand Design & Creative at ​Webflow​ - she scaled Brand Studio team from 8 to 18 in under two years.

She’s worked at Twitter, Cloudflare, Mural, Webflow and her ideas and leadership have influenced many tools and products you use today which is wild.

And she’s just launched a podcast called Ladies Who Create with ​Liz Meyer ​which is excellent with guests such as ​Grace Walker​, ​Jessica Strelioff​ & ​Danielle LaRoy​ and ​Steph Jeong​

Basically, she’s a big deal.

The failures we discuss are:

1) Desiring to be liked by everyone as a manager early on
2) Imposter syndrome
3) Being hands on in the work
