We've never done an episode quite like this before. We sat down with writer and creative Allie Carr—twice. In October 2025, she was just beginning to emerge from a really difficult chapter. When we spoke again in February 2026, her spark for life was fully back, and the seeds she had planted were unfolding in real time. In the months between, Allie moved through a Saturn return, career pivots, financial uncertainty, and a deep shedding of who she used to be. What looked like falling apart was actually falling into place. This conversation is a reminder that manifestation often has a full arc: the breakdown, the becoming, and the moment it all clicks. If you're in your own hard season right now, this episode is your life raft. Want to see where her journey began?

Tu te contentes de 5% d'augmentation par an pendant que d'autres gagnent 100K en travaillant quand ils veulent ? La différence, c'est le mindset salarié vs entrepreneur.Mais est-ce que les salariés sont vraiment des losers ou juste prisonniers d'un système qui ne tient plus ses promesses ?Dans ce nouvel épisode enregistré à l'île Maurice, je reçois trois entrepreneurs qui ont tous quitté le salariat. Tu vas découvrir :

Masterclasse Juridique : 1h30 pour tout comprendre au congé maternité des entrepreneusesSimplifiez vos démarches et sécurisez votre congé. Transformez le stress administratif en clarté et sérénité !✨Bienvenue sur Grossesses d'Entrepreneuses✨Je vous propose cet épisode bonus avec Maëlane, mentor pour entrepreneuse, pour découvrir pourquoi et comment développer une petite offre lorsqu'on devient maman ?Je vous partage les 3 raisons essentielles et laisse Maëlane revenir en détail sur chacune :1. Mise en œuvre rapide et flexibleUne petite offre est courte, peu onéreuse pour le client et peu chronophage pour l'entrepreneuse. Elle peut être lancée en quelques jours ou semaines, ce qui est idéal quand on a moins de temps, d'énergie, et une visibilité limitée en raison de la grossesse.2. Levier d'impact et canal d'acquisition efficaceLes petites offres permettent de toucher plus de personnes et d'avoir un impact plus large. Plus important encore, elles fonctionnent comme un excellent canal d'acquisition : les clientes qui achètent une petite offre ont tendance à se convertir vers des accompagnements ou produits plus complets.3. Une tendance de fond en 2026Développer des petites offres répond aux défis actuels : moins de temps, arbitrage financier plus strict et attention fragmentée. Cette stratégie offre des réponses concrètes et immédiates, permettant aux clients débordés de commencer par un petit pas sans s'engager dans une solution complète.Bonne écoute !

Your clients are already asking for AI help. The question is whether you're the one getting paid to build it.In this episode, I brought four members of our Digital Marketers Workgroup onto the show to share exactly what they're building for clients with custom GPTs and AI agents — the real stuff, like what they charge and how they turn one-time projects into steady retainers.My panelists are talented freelancers who've built everything from funeral industry marketing bots to meal planning agents to launch assistant GPTs and they're getting paid well to do it.Catia Trooskin shares how she's built over 80 custom GPTs across industries and why spotting gaps in a client's workflow is her secret weapon.Traci Howell walks us through the AI agent that streamlined a health coach's workload from 18 hours a week down to one.Suze Lake breaks down how she turned a complex, nine-knowledge-base GPT into a paid digital product her coaching client sells.Sara Vartanian explains how she builds brand voice GPTs trained on transcripts and blog posts so her clients' content sounds like them.Listen to learn more about:Why ownership and contracts matter more than most people thinkKey intake form questions you should always ask clients before you start buildingHow to handle the revision process so clients give you useful feedbackWhy beta testing with real users (not just yourself) is the step that separates a good GPT from a great oneIf custom GPT services for clients have been on your radar but you're not sure how to price or deliver them, this episode is your fast track.

Most people frame leaving corporate as a binary choice - and that's exactly what keeps them stuck. This episode maps the full range of career and business models available to independent experts and career changers, from flexible employment variations to fractional work, portfolio careers, and solopreneur paths - with honest trade-offs for each so you can find the model that actually fits your life right now. The binary framing of "stay or go" is what keeps most people stuck - there's a full spectrum of options between and beyond traditional employment, and most people don't know half of them exist Freelance, independent expert, and fractional are genuinely different models with different pricing ceilings, lifestyle implications, and sustainability profiles - understanding the distinction matters for how you position and build Portfolio careers have gone mainstream, but they require active management and a coherent umbrella message to avoid creating two businesses worth of workload on top of each other The most clarifying question isn't "what do I want to do?" but "am I building something to sell one day, or building a container for my work and my life?" - the answer shapes every decision that follows You don't have to know the whole path. The next right move, given who you are and what your life looks like right now, is enough If you're mapping your options, Anna's first book Leaving the Corporate 9 to 5 is a practical starting point - and if you want support working out the model that fits your life, book a free clarity call at onestepoutside.com/call.

W internecie pełno jest ogłoszeń o pracy zdalnej, które brzmią zbyt dobrze, żeby były prawdziwe. „2–3 godziny dziennie”, „bez doświadczenia”, „codzienne wypłaty”, „realne zarobki”… brzmi znajomo?W tym odcinku pokazuję najczęstsze red flagi w ogłoszeniach o pracy zdalnej i tłumaczę, jaka praca najczęściej kryje się za takimi ofertami. Opowiadam też, jak odróżnić ogłoszenie, w którym ktoś naprawdę szuka pracownika lub podwykonawcy, od takiego, które tylko udaje ofertę pracy.

THE MAGAZINE OF THE MONTH CLUB — One of the things I've learned while hosting this podcast is that there are a lot of magazines out there. More than I imagined. Meaning there was never a “death of the magazine,” simply a realignment of dollars and attention. If anything, there are more magazines being published than ever.  But, and it's a big but, they are harder and harder to find. There are fewer magazine stores. There are almost no newsstands, at least in North America. And bookstores, well, ok, go to your local bookstore and good luck. Which brings us to Steve Watson. He worked in the industry and he lived what was happening to it. And so he created Stack which is, essentially, a discovery system. Or a club. Call it The Magazine of the Month Club. Join it and you receive random independent magazines from around the world, chosen by Steve—or curated, let's use the word—curated by Steve, and if you like the magazine, great, go out and subscribe to it, and you've just expanded your world.  I asked Steve about the changes in the industry, how he builds community and what the future of magazines might be. He's an optimist. And that makes me feel good about things. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

What does it really mean to be a neurodivergent freelancer in photography? In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we talk openly about ADHD, autism, burnout, structure, creativity, and building a freelance career that works with your brain - not against it. If traditional advice has never worked for you, this conversation might finally make sense. What We Talk About in This Episode This interview covers the real-world realities of neurodivergent freelancing, including: Managing energy, attention, and overwhelm Creating structure without rigidity Navigating client communication and expectations Redefining success outside traditional productivity models Letting go of comparison and "shoulds" Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, this conversation encourages photographers to design careers that reflect how they actually function. Redefining Professionalism Being professional doesn't mean masking. It doesn't mean burning yourself out to meet arbitrary standards. And it doesn't mean copying how others work. For neurodivergent photographers, sustainability often comes from self-awareness, boundaries, and permission to work differently. This episode is a reminder that there is no single way to be a "real" photographer - or a successful freelancer.

Most solopreneurs think their marketing problem is their offer, pricing, or marketing channel. But often the real issue is much quieter, and far more damaging.They're speaking to the wrong version of their audience.In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe unpack a powerful marketing framework that can instantly improve how solopreneurs communicate with potential clients: Problem Identity, Process Identity, and Product Identity.Many solopreneurs stop their messaging at the problem stage, constantly reinforcing pain points like overwhelm, inconsistency, or burnout. While this may grab attention, it rarely converts. Why? Because people don't want to stay stuck in the identity of their problem.Instead, effective marketing acknowledges where someone is while also speaking to who they want to become during the journey and who they believe they'll be after the transformation.If your marketing feels like it's not connecting, or your audience understands the problem but still isn't buying, this episode may explain exactly why.In this episode, you'll learn:Why speaking only to pain points can actually repel potential clientsThe three identities every buyer moves through before making a purchaseWhy most solopreneurs skip the Process Identity (and why that's a mistake)How to shift your messaging so clients see themselves evolving, not stuckSimple questions to help you refine your marketing immediatelyIf you're a service-based solopreneur trying to attract better clients and improve your messaging, this framework could completely change how you communicate your value.Key takeaway:Ask yourself these three questions about your audience:What identity are they stuck in right now? (Problem Identity)Who do they want to feel like while solving the problem? (Process Identity)Who do they believe they'll become when they succeed? (Product Identity)Your marketing should speak to all three.Subscribe & ReviewIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow The Aspiring Solopreneur on your favorite podcast platform and leave a review. Reviews help us reach more solopreneurs who want to build a business that supports their life, not consumes it.And if this episode made you rethink your marketing, share it with a fellow solopreneur who might need to hear it.Episode FAQsWhat are the three identities in marketing messaging?The three identities in marketing messaging are Problem Identity, Process Identity, and Product Identity. Problem Identity refers to how your audience currently sees themselves when experiencing a challenge. Process Identity reflects who they want to become while working toward solving that problem. Product Identity is the version of themselves they believe they will be after achieving the desired outcome. Effective marketing speaks to all three stages to guide potential customers through the transformation.Why shouldn't solopreneurs only focus on pain points in their marketing?While addressing pain points can capture attention, focusing only on them can actually limit conversions. Potential clients don't want to stay identified with their struggles; they want to move beyond them. When solopreneurs also speak to the process of growth and the identity their audience wants to become, their marketing feels more motivating and aspirational, which increases trust and engagement.How can solopreneurs improve their messaging to attract more clients?Solopreneurs can improve their messaging by aligning it with the identity their audience is experiencing. Start by acknowledging the current problem your audience faces, then speak to who they want to become during the journey, and finally highlight the identity they'll have after achieving success. Messaging that reflects this transformation helps potential clients see themselves progressing toward a better version of themselves, making them more likely to engage and convert.

In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Jon Richards — graphic designer at Goodness By Design. He says: “How do I stop feeling guilty about not working during 'working hours'? I've been freelancing for over 15 years, but until last year it was always alongside a part time 9-5. So this is the first time I've been fully freelancing and I'm noticing a lot of guilt around when I'm not working. If it's a weekday and within 'normal' working hours, I feel like I should be doing client work, marketing or something. But as a creative, sometimes I'm just not in the right mood. Someone suggested recently that this might be a hangover of working in a 9-5. One of the main drives to go freelance was the flexibility it would bring. So I guess my question is, how can I get better at giving myself permission to do things like, go to Bristol for the day, visit an art gallery or just watch a film, when my head isn't in the right place to work? Do you ever have the same feeling?” Let us know your thoughts on Instagram and Linkedin.

Inspired by another learning from his triathlon, Pete shares with Jen a training technique, and both of them noodle on what it might look like to work within Zone 2 (and not constantly overexerting in Zone 5). Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about: What are the five zones of energy and effort? Why is it important to take periods of rest? How might a more continuous method of training be more efficient and impactful than a high intensity one?

Piscine à débordement, laptop sur la plage, liberté géographique totale...

C'est parti pour un nouveau portrait de freelance!⚡️Pauline Vettier est consultant e en marketing et relations presse pour les acteurs de l'énergie durable.Si vous étiez dans les parages la semaine dernière, vous la connaissez déjà.Mais oui, rappelez-vous: elle nous a décrit sa méthode pour collecter les avis de ses clients et capitaliser dessus pour en attirer d'autres.Pauline et moi, on se fréquente sur Linkedin depuis un moment mais on s'est parlé “en vrai”, pour la première fois, fin 2022.J'ai tout de suite été bluffée par son dynamisme. Et surtout par son audace.Pour vous la faire courte, récemment, j'ai changé plein de choses dans la façon dont je réalise les interviews pour le podcast. J'avais besoin de tester ses nouveautés, de me rôder et Pauline a accepté sans hésiter d'être mon cobaye.Il était donc impératif que je l'interroge sur ces motivations, ses sources d'inspiration et sur son approche de l'entrepreneuriat.….Et je suis ressortie de cette interview gonflée à bloc!

Think you need thousands of followers to make money online? Think again.In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly Ries and Joe Rando sit down with creator and educator Megan Spencer, who built a thriving business helping everyday people earn online, without chasing viral fame or building massive audiences.Megan shares how user-generated content (UGC), freelancing, and other creator economy opportunities allow solopreneurs and side-hustlers to start earning quickly, sometimes within their first week. Even better? Many of these opportunities are introvert-friendly, require no followers, and can be done quietly from home.You'll hear how Megan went from experimenting with online side hustles to building her “anti-influencer method,” which teaches creators to focus on systems, skills, and confidence instead of popularity.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy waiting for everything to be perfect keeps so many aspiring solopreneurs stuckHow UGC (user-generated content) allows people to get paid without having followersThe mindset shift introverted entrepreneurs need before starting onlineWhy Megan recommends not niching down too earlyThe platforms where brands are actively hiring everyday creatorsHow batching content prevents burnout and overwhelmThe difference between income streams like UGC, Amazon influencer commissions, freelancing, and TikTok ShopWhy starting with one income stream can lead to faster successThe underrated content strategy that accidentally made Megan $50,000 from one TikTok videoHow small “quick wins” help build the confidence solopreneurs need to keep goingKey TakeawaysMany people believe online success requires a big audience, expensive equipment, or a perfectly curated life. Megan argues the opposite: brands often want authentic, everyday creators, not polished influencers.By starting small, learning content skills, and building confidence through quick wins, solopreneurs can begin creating income streams online faster than they might expect.As Megan reminds us in this episode: “Slow growth is still growth.”Resources & LinksLearn more about Megan and her work:Website: megthecreator.comInstagram: megthecreator_ TikTok: @megthecreator_Enjoying the Podcast?If you enjoyed this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur:Leave a 5-star review on Apple PodcastsFollow the show so you never miss an episodeShare this episode with a fellow solopreneur who wants to earn online without chasing followers

On this episode we're joined by Jordan Gass-Poore (GOSS-PO-ray). To try to pin down one job for Jordan is hard. She has 116 projects listed under experience on her LinkedIn page. One expertise is in podcast production and reporting on topics such as climate change and public health but she does plenty of written work too. She's a graduate of Texas State University with a Masters in investigative journalism from the University of London.Jordan talked about the path through many different jobs. We spotlighted a podcast about environmental hazards she conceived, narrated, and produced for NJ Spotlight News, a piece she wrote about what TV and movies gets wrong about having a parent in prison, and the journalist networking and media collective she's co-founded, Local Switchboard NYC.She also explained that as a freelancer, there's a lot of things she does beyond just doing the writing, and offered tips on producing and writing for audio. And she highlighted how journalism allows us to find connections with each other that we might not otherwise.Work examples:Hazard NJ Podcasthttps://www.njspotlightnews.org/podcasts/hazard-nj/What Movies And TV Get Wrong About Having A Parent In Prisonhttps://scalawagmagazine.org/2022/06/prison-movies-lies/Jordan's salutes: Michael Sol Warren, her former editor at NJ Spotlight News and now reporter at WNYCJamie Kraft, senior managing editor, NJ Spotlight NewsJoe Lee, NJ PBS general managerVernon Loeb, Inside Climate NewsYou can find all our episode guides for teachers and professors here,Please support your local public radio station: adoptastation.orgThank you for listening.

This week, Jen and Pete noodle on a mental framework in which they revisit and recommit, or revise, or replace, or remove the goals they've set for themselves this year (which leaves them feeling re-invigorated, re-energized, and re-inspired).  Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about: How might we add and consider the context surrounding our goals? How might we reframe a pivot away from a certain goal as not a failure but a learning? What are some tactics to give ourselves more grace in the journey towards our goals?

Digital ads in 2026 look different than they did two years ago. AI is baked into every platform. Search queries are getting longer. Buyer trust is harder to earn. And if you're managing ads for clients, or trying to understand enough to consult on the strategy, there's a lot to keep up with.That's exactly why I brought Danielle Migliaccio-Morse, founder of DM Squared Media, on the show. She's been managing millions in ad spend for 15+ years, has turned failing Meta and Google campaigns into 100% year-over-year revenue increases, and genuinely knows how everything fits together — from the ad platform all the way through the email funnel. We nerded out on what's actually working right now with paid traffic, what to watch for, and how to talk to clients about it.Listen to learn more about:Danielle's top three trends for digital ads in 2026How "tried and true" ad strategies from a few years ago are now a liability & the new features we need to embraceThe difference between running ads on Meta vs Google and which one is right for your businessWhy diversifying ad spend across platforms is the smartest thing your clients can do right nowHow to set client expectations around testing windows, communicate data honestly, & build lasting trustDon't get stuck in the cycle of constant content creation. If your clients are still running all their ad spend through Meta and crossing their fingers, this episode is going to change how you think about their strategy.Sponsored by Wispr Flow*Write and prompt faster with this voice-to-text AI tool that turns speech into clear, polished writing in every app. I'm using Wispr Flow to talk out emails, client replies, and AI prompts instead of typing everything.

In this episode, Carly and Joe sit down with Bobby Klinck, Harvard Law grad and founder of Plainly Legal, to break down the legal basics every solopreneur should handle early without getting scared, overwhelmed, or spending $5,000 on day one. Bobby explains the “prevention vs cure” approach to legal protection, the fast checks that can save you from a painful rebrand, and the biggest copyright mistakes that trigger expensive demand letters.You'll learn what to prioritize first, what you can safely DIY, and how to avoid the most common traps (like using a brand name without a trademark search, grabbing images from the internet, skipping contractor agreements, and misunderstanding what an LLC actually protects).Plus: Bobby shares how to get a free legal audit so you can see what you need, without paying a lawyer just to understand the basics.Links & Resources: Plainly Legal (look for “Start Free” to run the free legal audit)FAQsDo I need a privacy policy on my website? In most cases, yes, especially if you collect visitor data (analytics, email opt-ins, cookies). A privacy policy is the one website document Bobby says is typically legally required.Can I use images I find online if I give credit? Usually no. Most images are protected by copyright, and “credit” doesn't equal permission. Use licensed images, free-use sites, or your own/AI-generated visuals.Can an LLC stop someone from suing me personally? Not for your own actions. An LLC can help limit certain business liabilities, but it doesn't make you lawsuit-proof, especially if the claim is tied to what you did.
