When I began my career in web design, my initial goal was to “get a job” as a web designer for an agency or corporation…until I realized corporate life is NOT for me.But that's me, I enjoy the world of risk and reward of freelancing and entrepreneurship, whereas the freelance lifestyle is NOT for everyone.So today I'm thrilled to share the conversation I had with Chris Webb, who's had a long career as a web designer and developer as an agency and corporate web designer. But Chris also does freelance on the side, so he has a unique perspective on the pros and cons of freelancer vs agency vs corporate web designers.What makes this convo extra special is that Chris has been a close personal friend of mine since early high school. I looked up to him big-time when I first got started in design because he was “the cool agency designer,” and he mentored me in many ways in those early days. So to be able to have him on the show now, 16 years later, is an awesome, full-circle moment for us both

Dans cette Minute Marine, je te parle d'un concept que je viens de découvrir : la Fuck You Money. Le principe : accumuler suffisamment d'argent pour pouvoir dire non à tout ce qui ne nous plaît pas. Sur le papier, ça semble hyper séduisant. Mais… j'avoue, je suis un peu perplexe. J'ai lu quelques articles, j'ai vu passer des commentaires de gens qui visent ce graal… Et je me suis demandé : en attendant de l'atteindre, on fait quoi ? On subit ? On vit à moitié ? Alors j'ai posé mes propres repères. Je te parle ici de “ric rac monnaie”, de “kiffe-monnaie”, et de ce que tout ça change dans nos choix de freelances.

Ever wonder which tools and services you actually need as a solopreneur, and which ones are just shiny distractions? In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe revisit one of the most debated sections of their book, Solopreneur Business For Dummies: setting up your company's tools and services. From creating rock-solid SOPs to knowing when to outsource, to avoiding the dreaded “tool overload,” they break down how to make smarter choices that actually save you time. Plus, they share how AI can help today (and where it still falls short). If you've ever felt stuck between doing it all yourself, hiring help, or buying yet another app, you won't want to miss this conversation.Three Episode TakeawaysShould I outsource tasks as a solopreneur or keep doing everything myself? You don't need employees to be a solopreneur, but you also don't have to do everything alone. Outsourcing to contractors or companies for specific tasks can save time and prevent burnout. The key is to outsource before you're desperate. This way, you have time to properly train someone and set up processes that work.How do I know which tools are worth paying for? Start by identifying the specific problem you want to solve, then choose tools that are simple, affordable, and easy to integrate with your current setup. Avoid chasing “shiny objects” that solve problems you don't even have yet. Use free trials strategically and actually test them on a real task during the trial period, and start with monthly payments until you're confident it's a good fit.What should come first: documenting processes or finding tools and services? Always start with documenting your processes in the form of standard operating procedures (SOPs). If you try to outsource or automate a broken process, you'll only make the problems bigger. SOPs give you a clear, repeatable checklist that works whether you do it yourself, hand it off to someone else, or use a tool to automate it. Okay, this might be the craziest offer we've ever made. We're giving away a solopreneur platform that normally costs five hundred dollars a year…For twenty-five bucks. And not for a month, not for a year… forever.All you have to do is pre-order our new book: Solopreneur Business for Dummies.When we first went solo, we thought we could just Google our way through it. But the advice out there? It was built for startups with teams and money, not someone trying to do it all themselves. We kept thinking: “There's gotta be a better way.”So we made one.

In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from creative mentor & workshop tutor, Sophie Roberts. She says:“Hi Frankie & Steve!I'm Sophie — a creative mentor and workshop tutor at West Plum Studio. I help people spend more time crafting.My question is around how to know where to draw the line between what you'll give away for free vs what you'll charge for in your business? In the crafting world there is so much free information available online. I've learnt lots over the years from generous free content that others have shared.

Think of onboarding like a marriage: you don't stop showing up once the vows (or the sale) are made. In this episode, they unpack why onboarding is the delight phase of the buyer's journey, how to prevent buyer's remorse, and the small but powerful touches that turn customers into lifelong fans (and evangelists). If you've ever wondered how to make sure your clients feel like they “married the right business,” this one's for you.A Few Q&As From The EpisodeWhy is onboarding such a critical step after a sale? Answer: Because the sale isn't the finish line, it's the starting point of the customer relationship. Onboarding reassures buyers they made the right decision, prevents buyer's remorse, sets clear expectations, and begins building long-term trust.What are some simple ways solopreneurs can make onboarding effective?Answer: Start with a warm welcome, whether it's a personalized email, a short video, or even a handwritten note. Follow up with clear next steps, resources, or tutorials to help customers get value quickly. The key is making clients feel seen, supported, and confident right away.How does great onboarding impact future sales and referrals?Answer: Thoughtful onboarding turns new customers into fans and fans into evangelists. When clients feel cared for and successful with your product or service, they're far more likely to renew, upgrade, or tell their friends about you, which makes lead generation and sales much easier down the line.

His approach is a refreshing reminder that the best ideas often come not from more input, but from disciplined reflection and personal clarity. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.marcandangel.com/2009/05/10/generating-new-ideas-and-insights/ Quotes to ponder: "Creativity and insight almost always come from persisting through the boredom of pondering the same idea for hours and hours."

GUARDIAN AT THE GATEFOLD—Today's guest has become almost synonymous with graphic design and editorial publishing. His career began in the defiant New York “sex press” of the late 1960s, where not-actually-that-surprisingly, as a teenager he was already art-directing magazines like Screw and The New York Review of Sex. That unlikely starting point gave him a rare education in the power of design to command attention and shape meaning.We're talking about designer, author, editor, educator, and true legend, Steven Heller.Heller went on to spend more than three decades at The New York Times, most memorably as art director of The New York Times Book Review. There, he transformed the visual life of the section, commissioning bold, original illustration and making the case—over and over again—that design is not ornamental but integral to editorial voice. Through his advocacy, he helped elevate the status of designers in publishing offices, giving visual thinkers a seat at the table alongside editors and writers.Beyond the newsroom, Heller has been prolific almost to the point of obsession. He has written, edited, or co-authored more than two hundred books on design, creating an extraordinary record of the field's history, ideas, and influences. And most recently, he turned that critical eye inward with his memoir, Growing Up Underground, a candid account of his early years in New York's counterculture publishing scene.Steve is a practitioner, a chronicler, and an advocate for design—and he's also part of the team here at Magazeum. We are thrilled to turn the mic on him for this special conversation.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?—Josh Jones has done a lot of things when it comes to magazines: Editor. Writer. Maker. Custom publisher. Mentor. Evangelist. All of the above. Has Josh helped write a book about hip hop in Mongolia? Yes. Has he sat back and watched Gordon Ramsey mash his face into a sandwich? Indeed. Has he written an instructive how to book that reminds the reader to always lift a box of magazines by bending one's knees? Yes, again. For more than 20 years, Josh has been creating magazines, both for resolutely indie concerns and reasons, but also custom publications for the likes of The North Face, Red Bull, Interscope and Nike. And while he has no illusions about the challenges the industry faces, he's also resolutely optimistic about a world that he loves, so much so that his “field guide to publishing an indie magazine” Just Make Your Magazine is, true to its subhead, the “fastest selling self help book.” OK, I don't know if that's true. It probably isn't if I'm being honest. But still. You speak to him and you become an optimist. And this is not just because, as he says in the book, “indie magazine making has never been more popular.”It's also because, and perhaps caught up in the same optimism, I suggest that it's possible we are over the Print Panic of the mid aughts and the industry, as a whole, is now back on a sustained kind of upswing. That's an idea we're going to explore on the show this season. Because there has to be some things that are right in the world, damnit.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

First up on the podcast, aggressive tumors have a secret cache of DNA that may help them beat current drug treatments. Freelance journalist Elie Dolgin joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about targeting so-called extrachromosomal DNA—little gene-bearing loops of DNA—that help difficult-to-treat cancers break the laws of inheritance.   Next on the show, producer Meagan Cantwell talks with Weidong Sun, director of the Center of Deep Sea Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, about the discovery of a hydrogen-rich system so large it makes up at least 5% of current estimates for global hydrogen emissions from abiotic sources. They discuss how hydrogen gas rising from the mantle reacting with oxygen could have triggered an explosion that formed holes hundreds of meters across and dozens of meters deep.  This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.

On today's show, how can you possibly hire other freelancers to help grow your business when it's hard to know if you can trust them? After all, if someone you hire misses a deadline, you're on the hook with your client.

Sales doesn't have to feel slimy or stressful. In fact, when you treat it as service, selling becomes a natural extension of helping people. In this episode, Carly and Joe break down the planning side of sales for solopreneurs, from understanding levels of touch to qualifying leads and nailing your quick pitch. If the thought of selling makes you cringe, this conversation will help you rethink the process and build a sales plan that actually feels good.Important Questions Answered In This EpisodeHow can solopreneurs approach sales without feeling sleazy? By reframing sales as service. Instead of trying to push a product, focus on finding people who have problems you can genuinely solve. When you approach conversations with the goal of helping rather than selling, it becomes natural, authentic, and far less intimidating, even for introverts.What does “level of touch” mean in sales planning? The level of touch refers to how much interaction you have with a potential customer. High-touch sales involve more personal engagement, like coaching calls or consultations, while low-touch or no-touch sales rely on things like websites, emails, or quick transactions for lower-priced products. Solopreneurs need to match their sales process to both their offering and the time they can realistically invest.Why is qualifying leads so important? Not every prospect is worth your time. By qualifying leads, making sure they have a problem you can solve, the authority to make a decision, and the budget to buy, you avoid wasting hours chasing “tire kickers.” A simple system for filtering leads upfront saves time, energy, and frustration later on. Okay, this might be the craziest offer we've ever made. We're giving away a solopreneur platform that normally costs five hundred dollars a year…For twenty-five bucks.
