"You start to wonder was it all worth it? Or what's the point in trying to do it again? You know, if there's going to be more disappointment in the future. I think it is something that you know probably just changes as you go on, regardless, right? I want to get that second book under my belt so it's not all just on this one, this one baby, you know?" says Maggie Mertens.Maggie is the author of Better, Faster, Farther: How Running Changed Everything We Know About Women (Algonquin Books). It's a brilliant book that traces the advancement of women's athletics through running. Hard as it is to believe, but it was thought that women couldn't, nay, shouldn't run farther than 800 meters. Running might affect their fragile constitution, they might even ruin the work place … there's a name for headlines like that one: They're called subscription cancellers. [Context: The New York Times ran a podcast headline with its conservative columnist asking “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” Anyhoo …Maggie is making the freelance workplace a good time, thank you very much, and it's a pleasure to get to celebrate her approach to the work and her incredible book that came out in 2024.So Maggie's work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, NPR, Sports Illustrated, ESPNw, Creative Nonfiction, among others. She has a Substack called My So Called Feminist Life at maggiemertens.substack.com and she does much of social media-ing on IG @maggiejmertens and you can learn more about her and her work at maggiemertens.com.So Maggie and I talk about: The long book writing process Community Time pegs Strict deadlines for the self How she named her chapters in Better Faster Farther Taking the wins And the post-book malaiseOrder The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

Je ne me projette pas. Ni à un an. Ni à cinq. Et ça m'a longtemps complexée (j'ai parlé dans la MM138 - Vision 2030). Mais j'ai fini par accepter que je fonctionnais autrement. Je ne suis pas visionnaire… je suis rétrovisionnaire. Je t'explique ce que ça veut dire pour moi : avancer sans plan global, mais trouver de la cohérence en regardant en arrière. Et surtout, arrêter de m'épuiser à vouloir penser “stratégie long terme” si ça ne m'aide pas à avancer. Toi aussi, tu fonctionnes comme ça ? Tu fais partie des rétrovisionnaires ?

AI isn't coming for your solopreneur job, but it will happily take your tasks. In this episode, Carly and Joe break down how to turn AI into the world's most over-eager intern: fast, enthusiastic, occasionally clueless, and totally coachable. From using AI without losing your voice…to avoiding “hallucination traps”… to building a GPT that actually remembers what you told it, this episode shows solopreneurs exactly how to manage AI, not get managed by it.FAQs From The Episode:How do I actually ‘train' AI for my business?”Treat it like onboarding a new team member. Upload or paste your brand guidelines, audience description, business plan, examples of your writing, and list of do's/don'ts into a custom GPT. Then, add instructions that reinforce your tone, values, target audience, and preferred outputs. Revisit the training regularly, because AI can “forget” if everything stays in one long chat thread.What tasks should I delegate to AI, and which ones should stay 100% mine?Delegate:Drafting (blogs, emails, social posts)Research summariesBrainstorming ideasRewriting in different tonesOrganizing messy textNever delegate:Strategic thinkingTopic selectionOpinions or point of viewFinal editsAny part of your brand voice that requires nuanceAI can assemble the pieces, but you must decide what the puzzle looks like.How do I keep AI from drifting, forgetting instructions, or making weird mistakes?Use a custom GPT (not just one long chat). Put your recurring instructions directly into the system prompt so they don't fall out of the context window. Reinforce boundaries often (“never use profanity,” “don't use dashes,” etc.), provide examples, and correct mistakes as they happen. Think of it as ongoing performance management. The more feedback and clarity you give, the better it performs.

Dans cet épisode percutant, Thomas Burbidge t'invite à regarder en face les angles morts de l'écosystème business indépendant et à questionner ce qui ne se dit jamais — là où se nichent souvent fatigue, doute et envies de changement.Avec authenticité et profondeur, Thomas orchestre une table-ronde avec quatre invitées engagées : Jade Tonga (créatrice de contenus et hôte du podcast Pourquoi tu as fait ça), Laure Dodier (spécialiste du slowprenariat), Lucie Le Guen (experte en écriture et nouveaux récits engagés)Laura Besson (fondatrice de Bien dans ta boîte et psychologue systémie, militante communiste). Leurs voix multiples font jaillir des pistes puissantes et concrètes pour réinventer nos pratiques et s'émanciper des dogmes dominants.Dans cet épisode, tu entendras :Pourquoi la quête de performance, le « scaling », et le marketing agressif ne disent rien des vrais enjeux des freelances et solopreneurs aujourd'huiComment l'invisibilisation de certains sujets (privilèges sociaux, capitalisme, santé mentale, écologie…) freine ou culpabilise de nombreux indépendantsL'importance de reconnaître la diversité des parcours, des modèles de réussite et des obstacles selon son genre, sa couleur de peau, son histoire socialeLe rôle décisif des récits dans notre capacité à imaginer une autre façon d'entreprendre, plus respectueuse de soi et du vivantPourquoi la représentation et l'inclusivité ne sont pas “des extras”, mais des leviers majeurs d'empowerment pour tous

La fin d'une mission, ça peut être prévu… ou subi. Dans les deux cas, il y a des choses à anticiper pour ne pas se retrouver le bec dans l'eau. Dans cette Minute Marine, je te partage une petite checklist pour réussir ton offboarding, marquer des points avec ton client, et peut-être préparer la suite. Et je te parle aussi de ces moments plus flous, quand une mission s'arrête sans prévenir. J'en profite pour évoquer deux épisodes que je te recommande : – l'interview de Mathis, qui a perdu ses principaux clients du jour au lendemain – l'interview de Pauline, sur l'art de récolter et utiliser les avis clients (et au passage, un petit épisode Outline : “La cliente qui veut faire un point”) Et toi : – Tu gères comment les fins de mission ? – T'as déjà vécu une rupture imprévue qui t'a un peu secoué·e ?

In this episode, Luke Hessler gets radically real about losing everything and rebuilding faster using the only assets no one can take: mindset, skills, and relationships. We dig into personal branding for any personality (yes, introverts), the “one post a day for a year” muscle, turning your warm network into real leads (today), and scaling without employees by fixing fulfillment first and systemizing customer acquisition. It's gritty, generous, and wildly practical.FAQs From The EpisodeI'm introverted. Can I really build a personal brand without being on camera all day? Yes. A personal brand is just your authentic offline reputation, online. If video drains you, lead with thoughtful written posts, frameworks, and slow-paced explanations. The people who think like you will prefer it. Pick one platform, post once daily for a year, and use simple content buckets (e.g., Expertise, Process, Personal). Watch engagement to see what lands, then iterate.I need leads fast on a tiny budget. What should I do this week? Start with your warm network. Make a handwritten (or spreadsheet) list of every relevant contact and call them. Offer a small “beta” program to a few ideal clients for free in exchange for a testimonial, a case study, and 1–2 introductions. Measure it like math: if 1 in 10 says “yes,” and you need 5 clients, make 50 quality outreaches. Don't overcomplicate. Sort for the “ready now,” not convince the “not now.”How do I scale without hiring employees and avoid burning out? Fix fulfillment first. Ensure partners/vendors can handle increased volume so new sales don't create churn. Then systemize customer acquisition (choose one core motion: landing page + traffic, affiliates, or cold outbound that sets appointments). Expect a short initial sprint (the jet uses 80% of fuel on takeoff), then automate/outsourcing what worked: repurpose posts, templatize outreach, use software or reliable vendors. Choose a sustainable cadence over heroics.

What do you do when your inbox goes quiet and the client work that once filled your calendar suddenly disappears?For many freelance medical writers—especially those transitioning into the CME space—quiet seasons can feel like failure. But what if those fallow periods are actually the most fertile ground for growth?

C'est peut-être un détail pour vous… mais pour moi, ça veut dire beaucoup. Un nouveau rendez-vous de La Cohorte où l'on revient sur des phrases entendues dans les interviews du podcast. Des phrases qu'on aurait tort de laisser filer car elles révèlent beaucoup sur la manière de construire son business freelance! Dans ce troisième épisode, on se replonge dans l'interview de Diane. Thème: comment s'assurer que notre expertise trouvera des clients Je reviens sur deux passages qui… sont des pépites! – quand Diane explique qu'elle a communiqué sur Linkedin, réseauté… Bien avant de savoir à qui elle s'adressait, qu'est-ce qu'elle allait vendre… – et comment elle a appris à parler le langage de ses clients, en remplaçant son jargon d'experte par leurs mots à eux. Deux détails, deux rappels utiles pour tous ceux qui pensent qu'il faut être « prêt » avant de communiquer. Dis-moi mon papillon de nuit: comment ton client-cible comprend ton métier?

In this week's episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, Annie Sargent talks with immigration lawyer Daniel Tostado and guests Brenna and Jeff, a couple exploring how to make their dream of moving to France a reality. Listen to this episode ad-free They dive deep into what the Talent Visa France really is, how it differs from the Freelance Visa for France, and which one makes the most sense depending on your work situation. Daniel explains the legal side in plain language — who qualifies, how long each visa lasts, what documents you'll need, and what kind of income you must show. Brenna and Jeff share the emotional and practical side of the story — the excitement, the stress, and the paperwork. They also talk about their motivation for starting fresh in France, what they've learned along the way, and why learning French is more important than most people think. If you've ever wondered how to work remotely from France, apply for a digital nomad visa, or move abroad for a slower, more meaningful lifestyle, this episode will give you a clear, honest picture of what it takes. Annie and her guests make complex information easy to understand and relatable, whether you're planning a move or just curious about life in France.

LOST IN TRANSLATOR—There are more than 7,000 languages in the world and there's a good chance that you don't speak or read most of them. Being an English-language speaker is, among other things, a huge privilege in this multilingual world because while it may not be the most widely spoken first language, English is the language that is most widely spoken.There's a chance that you can get by in English almost everywhere. And so English speakers tend not to learn other languages. To their detriment. (And to the resentment of others. But that's another story.)Not all of the world's 7,000 languages are robust enough to support their own media. But guess what—there's a lot of media in this world that isn't created in English. Enter Translator, a magazine of translated journalism and reportage from around the world for, “the open-minded and the language-curious.”And in a world where much of our media is controlled by fewer and fewer people, this kind of wider view of what others are saying and thinking is, perhaps, more necessary than ever. Maybe the only surprising thing about Translator is that it wasn't created … sooner.”—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

In this episode of the HRchat Podcast, host Bill Banham sits down with Pavel Shynkarenko, founder of Mellow, to unpack the ripple effects of proposed H-1B and L-1 visa reforms—and a possible 25% outsourcing levy—on the global freelance and contractor economy.Pavel has spent more than 20 years in financial and HR technology, building platforms that help freelancers access fair pay, benefits, and social protections on par with employees. He brings a pragmatic, data-informed view of how these policy changes could reshape the cost calculus for U.S. employers, HR leaders, and cross-border teams in 2025 and beyond.Together, Bill and Pavel explore how tightening U.S. visa policies could unintentionally accelerate the shift toward remote-first and distributed workforces. When companies face rising administrative costs or talent shortages at home, they often turn to Employer of Record (EOR) and Contractor of Record (COR) models to stay compliant while continuing to access top talent worldwide. Pavel walks through the hidden math behind total landed cost—how everything from currency fluctuations to social contributions can alter hiring decisions—and why the real bottleneck isn't policy, but supply: there simply aren't enough local workers to replace the global freelance engine that powers innovation.The conversation then turns to platform evolution. Legacy marketplaces once promised cheaper rates through mass competition, but that model no longer serves enterprise needs. Today, trust, verified track records, and long-term fit matter far more. Pavel explains how Mellow is redefining the space by using AI and behavioral data to connect companies with freelancers they're statistically more likely to succeed with—based on shared networks, past project outcomes, and verified credentials. This AI-first approach also simplifies complex backend tasks such as KYC, tax, and payments across 100+ countries, giving HR teams one compliance-ready platform to manage their distributed workforce.Bill and Pavel also compare U.S. protectionist trends with Europe's fragmented response. Some countries, especially those with aging populations and shrinking workforces, may loosen immigration for high-skill talent, while others tighten entry. The result? A global balancing act where companies must blend onshore, nearshore, and offshore strategiesSupport the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

If you thought SEO was complicated…meet its AI-powered cousin.In this episode, Carly and Joe break down the buzzword that dominated INBOUND, AEO (AI Engine Optimization), and explain what it actually means for solopreneurs. Spoiler: it's not about gaming algorithms or chasing clicks. It's about making sure your voice, ideas, and frameworks show up when AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini answer your audience's questions.You'll learn:What AEO really is (and what it isn't)The small tweaks that help your content stand out in AI search resultsWhy clarity > cleverness in your copyAnd why human connection still beats machine optimization every timeIf you've ever wondered how to future-proof your visibility without losing your authenticity, this one's for you.FAQs From The EpisodeWhat's the difference between SEO and AEO, and do I really need both? SEO helps search engines (like Google) find you. AEO helps AI engines (like ChatGPT or Perplexity) understand and surface your content. While SEO is still valuable, AEO focuses more on structure, clarity, and credibility signals that make AI choose you as the source when answering questions. You don't need to overhaul everything. Just start optimizing for both audiences: humans and machines.I'm a coach/consultant/service provider. Does AEO even matter for me? For most solopreneurs, relationships and referrals still drive the majority of business. But AEO is a long-term play. If someone asks an AI tool, “Who's the best productivity coach for solopreneurs?” or “What's the SMOOTH method?”—you want your name, content, or frameworks to appear. It's not urgent, but it's smart to start now so you're discoverable later.What's one simple AEO tweak I can make today? Add an FAQ section (like this!) to your website or blog posts. AI scrapes well-structured Q&A content, and it's one of the easiest ways to signal authority. Bonus tip: use clear, direct language over clever wording. AI prioritizes clarity, and so do readers.

What happens when a bartender from New York gets hit by a car, and ends up building a $350 million real estate empire? Jason Yarusi joins The Aspiring Solopreneur to share how that wake-up call sparked his Live 100 mindset, a simple yet powerful framework for breaking patterns, building momentum, and magnifying results. From redefining success to fighting perfectionism, Jason gets real about how self-awareness, consistent action, and gratitude can completely reshape your life and business.FAQs From The ShowWhat exactly is the “Live 100” framework?Live 100 is Jason Yarusi's three-part system, Break, Build, and Magnify, for creating lasting change. You start by breaking habits that no longer serve you, then build meaningful rituals through consistent, intentional action, and finally magnify your growth by inspiring others and compounding small wins over time.Jason talks a lot about self-awareness. How can solopreneurs strengthen it? He recommends honest reflection without judgment (notice how you're showing up in moments of stress and identify which “version” of yourself is leading the way). Then ask: How would the version of me who's already achieved my goals respond right now? Over time, that awareness shifts both mindset and behavior.What does Jason mean by taking action over perfection? Perfection is just a fancy form of procrastination. Jason urges solopreneurs to take one small step, because movement creates momentum. Every step reveals new information, while inaction keeps you stuck. As he puts it, “Most people think they're jumping off a building when really, they're just stepping off a curb.”
