FOOD IS FOR EVERYONE—That meal your grandmother always cooked. Or your mother. Or your father, for that matter. The odors that permeated a kitchen or the entire house. The first taste. The idea of comfort food.So much of who we are and what we remember are about food, sure, but also about place, and most definitely about the person doing the cooking.While many food magazines go beyond food to create the context about the recipes they print, writer and editor Kyle Yoshioka felt they lacked the backstories that make food about more than taste or trends or wine accompaniments. And with no experience in the form, he was part of a team in Portland, Oregon that decided to launch Provecho, a magazine all about the backstories, and especially the culture and communities, behind each and every ingredient that goes into each and every lovingly created dish. And without a single recipe.Provecho, then, is not really a food magazine at all, but a cultural review that uses food as a focal point. It's anthropology that tastes good. One that is, in its own way, creating a community all its own.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

J'ai fait une boulette récemment avec un client. Rien de grave, mais franchement… j'ai eu honte. Et ça m'a donné envie de créer cette Minute Marine spéciale boulettes : celles qu'on fait tous, qu'on oublie vite (ou pas), et qui nous apprennent souvent un truc.Dans cette MM, je te raconte trois loupés : une histoire de factures oubliées, un rendez-vous raté, et un fail de prospection bien gênant. Le tout, en toute transparence — parce que se marrer de ses boulettes, ça aide à avancer.Et toi, c'était quand ta dernière boulette client ? Tu me racontes ?(Pour me répondre, envoie-moi un mp sur Linkedin 

If you've ever wondered how Joe somehow whips up a custom GPT for literally everything, from content creation to arguing with him when ChatGPT gets too agreeable, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Carly finally asks the question the whole community's been thinking: “How is Joe doing that?” And this time, he actually shows us.Step-by-step.On-screen.In real time.Whether you want a GPT that writes in your brand voice, handles your workflows, or just keeps you honest (looking at you, You're Wrong GPT), Joe breaks down exactly how he builds them: what's easy, what you need to prepare, and what most solopreneurs totally overlook.If you've ever said, “I wish a GPT could do this for me…” Good news: after this episode, it can.FAQs From The EpisodeDo I actually need a paid ChatGPT plan to create my own GPTs?Yes. As Joe explains, GPT creation isn't available on the free plan. You'll need the $20/month subscription to access the “Create” option. The good news? If you use even a handful of AI-powered tasks in your business, you'll easily make that cost back in saved time.What kind of “training material” do I need to upload to build a useful GPT?Think brand voice guides, examples of past content, frameworks you use, instructions you follow, or any assets that show how you want your GPT to think and write. More clarity = better output. You don't need a huge pack of documents, just a few strong examples go a long way.How do I know what kind of GPT I should create for my business?Start with the tasks you repeat constantly or the ones that drain the most time: content creation, email drafts, lead gen messages, customer onboarding, proposals, social captions, etc. If you've ever said, “I wish someone could just do this for me,” that's the perfect candidate for a custom GPT.

What happens when the Wild West days of early internet marketing collide with the deeply human side of AI? In this episode, Steven Sakach from aiCMO joins Carly to talk about blending empathy with innovation (yes, even in a world that often feels robotic and copy-and-paste). From his outrageous early-career bidding wars to his BLISS framework (Build Love Into Scalable Systems), Steven shows solopreneurs how AI can actually make your business more human, not less.If you want to use AI without losing your voice, deepen emotional connection with your clients, and build systems infused with purpose (and love), this is your episode.FAQs From The EpisodeHow do I keep my marketing from sounding generic when using AI?The key is anchoring your AI-generated content in your purpose, values, and voice. Stephen's platform (and the approach he recommends) starts with defining your higher purpose — what you actually care about, who you serve, and why you do what you do. When AI has that context, plus your differentiators and brand voice, it stops producing “same-same” results and starts sounding unmistakably like you.How do I use AI without losing authenticity or connection with my audience?You deepen authenticity before you generate content. Ask AI to help you understand your customers' emotional journey — what fears they have, what delights them, what frustrations they experience. Once you understand the emotional landscape, AI can help you create “surprise and delight” moments, strengthen connection, and design experiences that feel personal and human. Authenticity comes from clarity, not from avoiding AI.What systems should I build first if I want to grow but stay true to my values?Stephen suggests starting with BLISS: Build Love Into Scalable Systems. That means creating processes that aren't just efficient, but kind — onboarding steps that lower anxiety, feedback loops that keep you aligned with client needs, and systems that consider impact on people and planet, not just profit. When you systemize kindness and empathy, your values show up consistently, not just when you remember.

Un pote me demande combien je gagne. Je lui réponds… mais avec un petit malaise. Cette question m'a rappelé un truc que je sais déjà : j'ai un tabou avec l'argent. Pas dramatique, mais un vrai frein parfois. Dans cette Minute Marine, je te parle de ce que ça dit de moi, de nous, et de comment je fais avec. Et toi, comment tu réagis quand on te pose cette question ? (Pour me répondre, envoie-moi un mp sur Linkedin

Dis-moi, est-ce que ça t'arrive de perdre le sommeil en pensant à ton chiffre d'affaires ? Moi oui. Même si on m'a toujours dit que l'argent ne fait pas le bonheur, je constate que c'est beaucoup plus difficile de dormir sur ses deux oreilles lorsque l'insécurité financière est une réalité.Le pire cauchemar des indépendant.e.s, c'est d'avoir un chiffre d'affaires en dents de scie.Parfois tout roule et les opportunités arrivent sans trop d'efforts.Et parfois, c'est le calme plat

Dance/NYC is a service organization for the dance industry promoting the appreciation, practice, and knowledge of dance in the NYC metropolitan area. Interim Executive Director Sara Roer details their new fund providing direct support to freelance dancers.

"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.

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.

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 ?

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

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?

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.

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.
