95 Social's Small Business Podcast

The other week I was invited to speak to a group of students from Strasbourg Business School about how I Market 95 Social!

Today I delivered a workshop at Ayrshire College all about freelancing for students. I was invited by Bridge2Business (bridge2business.org.uk) & IPSE (ipse.co.uk).

Really really enjoyed speaking at Bridge2Bridge’s event this morning! A little different to the other talks you will have heard from me so I hope you enjoy it :) Would love to hear your feedback, drop me an email jack@95Social.co.uk
