Tu crois qu'il faut bosser seul.e, galérer des années et attendre le coup de chance pour scaler ? Faux.Cet épisode ouvre le bal d'un nouveau format que tu vas retrouver sur Le Board : "Les coulisses des solopreneur·ses à succès" !Et pour ce premier épisode, je reçois Déborah Donnier, multi-entrepreneuse, YouTubeuse (52 000 abonnés, 7M de vues) et Fondatrice de l'agence DDESIGN & du Studio PodPreneurs.Elle nous ouvre les coulisses de son parcours :

A NEW RECIPE FOR FOOD MAGAZINES—You may think a magazine called Famous for My Dinner Parties would be about food or entertaining—and I wouldn't blame you if you did. You wouldn't be wrong, but you also wouldn't be right.Taking its name from Robert Altman's film, 3 Women, Famous for My Dinner Parties started as a pandemic-inspired digital project among three friends (Junshen Wu, Sandra von Mayer-Myrtenheim and Yannic Moeken) in Berlin and has evolved into a proper magazine and media brand, and along the way has won an engaged and broad audience far beyond Berlin. Something that continues to surprise the founders.The magazine is slightly odd, if I'm being honest, idiosyncratic, thoroughly compelling, and undeniably beautiful. It's also almost entirely done in house, including all the design, photography and writing. And despite this, or maybe because of it, the thing works. Whether or not this method—or lack of one—is sustainable is another question.And just to be clear, there is not a single recipe in the magazine. Just a whole lot of ideas. This is a magazine then, editorially and conceptually, built around vibes. Fuel for a discussion, perhaps, at your next really great dinner party. Whether or not you aspire to any sort of fame.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Welcome back to another Ask Emily Anything episode — my mini-series where I tackle your real freelancer questions.

She emphasized that challenges and setbacks are inevitable, but staying committed and pushing forward makes all the difference. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most?

Have you ever wondered how to get in front of the right audience without constantly chasing leads? In this episode, Christina Lenkowski shares how solopreneurs can use podcast guesting as a powerful tool to build credibility, attract clients, and grow their businesses. From pitching yourself with confidence to turning interviews into lasting opportunities, you'll learn exactly how to make guest podcasting work for you.Episode FAQsI don't have a huge following. Can podcast guesting still work for me?Absolutely. You don't need a big audience to get results from podcast guesting, you just need the right audience. Focus on smaller, niche shows that attract your ideal clients rather than chasing big-name podcasts. Those intimate, topic-focused audiences are often more engaged and more likely to convert. Think quality over quantity.How do I find the right podcasts to be a guest on?Start by leveraging your network. Ask peers, clients, or your online community what shows they listen to. Then, use the Podcast Piggyback Method Christina mentioned: search for someone who shares your target audience, look up the shows they've been on, and explore similar ones. Tools like Apple Podcasts and ListenNotes make it easy to spot patterns and find aligned shows.How can I measure if podcast guesting is actually helping my business?Track results in a few simple ways:Add a “How did you hear about me?” question to your intake forms.Use a unique link or promo code when sharing your offer on shows.Review your growth quarterly (email list, website traffic, social followers). Remember, podcast guesting builds long-term trust and visibility, so results often compound over time as people hear you on multiple shows.

"This has to be meaningful to you. It has to be a story that won't leave you alone, a story that you're willing to rearrange your calendar for," says Masha Hamilton, whose Atavist Magazine story is titled "I've Gone to Look for America."Today we have Masha Hamilton, a journalist, a novelist, a fan of the show, a fan of Pitch Club. You'll want to visit mashahamilton.com to learn more about her wide-ranging career covering the world. She's the author of five novels and trying to sell her sixth. She was at one point the director of communications and public diplomacy at the US embassy in Kabul.Her story for the Atavist is about her driving the entire length of I-95 with her photographer son Cheney, and stopping at just about every rest stop to speak with strangers about how they feel about our country. “Conversations and revelations about an ailing nation along Interstate 95.” Man, those Atavist editors sure can write the hell out of a dek.Guess who's back!? Seyward Darby! Do your best Kermit the Frog dance. Very nice to hear her and this piece challenged Seyward in ways I didn't see coming: Meaning, she didn't share Masha's optimism or hope. Seyward, for lack of a better word, disagreed with it, so there was an interesting tension she brought to the edit.For Masha's part, we talk about: Novels as complimentary to her nonfiction Covering societies in change Healing through story How this was piece was a therapy session Accelerated intimacy Endings Middles Finding the meaning Writing you rearrange your calendar for And belonging as practiceOrder The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

THE GOOD CITIZEN—This episode is a special one for us here at Magazeum. We even gave it its own code name: “Project Rosebud” (IYKYK). But if you only know our guest as the grandson of the man who inspired the lead character in the film classic Citizen Kane and the founder of one of the largest publishing empires in the world, you are missing out. Will Hearst could have done the easy thing, but he chose not to. As the current chairman of the Hearst Corporation, Will balances stewardship of a sprawling media empire with a commitment to community and lasting value. Unlike the new breed of media moguls, his leadership is less about compliance and more about the continuing importance of fostering quality journalism rooted in place and purpose.But aside from his role as a suit at the Hearst Corporation, Will's labor of love is Alta—an indie quarterly that champions a distinct West Coast voice, providing a vital counterpoint to the East Coast lens that still dominates the national discourse.Alta is crafted to be held and savored—he thinks of its subscribers as members more than a mailing list. In an age dominated by volume, speed, and algorithms, Will Hearst would like to remind us to slow down, listen deeply, and consume wisely. In times like these, his vision seems almost Quixotic—to see media as craft, culture as inheritance, and storytelling as something lasting. Nevertheless, he continues to charge, shaping a legacy both ancient and urgently new.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Making changes in your business doesn't have to feel messy or overwhelming. In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe introduce the SMOOTH method, a step-by-step framework to help you sequence changes, manage your energy, communicate with transparency, and lock in the lessons you learn. If you've ever struggled to implement improvements without burning out or losing momentum, this method will give you the clarity and structure you need to move forward with confidence.Q&As From The EpisodeHow do I know which changes to make first in my business?Start by sequencing smartly. Not every change needs to happen at once, and some are dependent on others. Look at the order of operations: what's foundational and what relies on that foundation. Begin with the changes that unlock or support others, so you don't waste time redoing work.I'm worried about overwhelming myself while making improvements. How do I avoid burnout?The Smooth Method emphasizes managing your load and energy. Take on one change at a time, and give yourself breaks between projects. Running a business while trying to improve it is demanding, and protecting your time and sanity ensures you don't stall out before seeing results.How do I make sure changes actually stick and pay off?First, track your success with clear metrics. Define what “done” and “successful” look like before you start. Then, after implementation, harvest the lessons by reflecting and documenting what worked and what didn't. This way, every improvement becomes a repeatable process rather than a one-off experiment. Okay, this might be the craziest offer we've ever made.

Photojournalist Jeremy Lee Quinn has spent years documenting protests, rallies, and moments of public unrest that often look very different on the ground than they do on the evening news. In this conversation, he talks with Meghan about what really happens when a “mostly peaceful protest” turns chaotic, how viral clips can erase context, and why the incentives of freelance journalism can skew coverage. They also discuss what it takes to build trust with sources across ideological divides, the ethics of filming in volatile environments, and how ordinary viewers can tell when the narrative doesn't match reality. Topics include: • The gap between local experience and national headlines • “Mostly peaceful” framing vs. street-level truth • Freelance journalism, safety, and incentives • Crossing lines without becoming the story • Why viral video is a poor substitute for context • What citizens should know about media literacy About the guest Jeremy Lee Quinn is a photojournalist and reporter who has covered protests and political unrest since 2020. His forthcoming book is Culture of Confusion. He posts most actively as @JeremyReporter (Instagram, Facebook) and also writes on Substack and X/Twitter.

Are you still thinking like a “grateful doer” instead of the boss of your business? If you've ever felt stuck in the freelancer-to-CEO mindset shift, this episode is for you. In this Ask Emily Anything episode, listener Candice asks a question so many of us freelancers secretly struggle with: How do you actually make the transition in your brain from service provider to boss? It's not just about raising your rates or slapping “CEO” in your bio. You have to own your expertise, set boundaries, and finally treat your freelance business like a business. I share my real journey (the rock bottoms, a-ha moments, and gradual pivots) that helped me shift out of the employee mindset, stop undervaluing my time, and step into my role as a confident business owner.Listen to learn more about:How to recognize the difference between being a freelancer-for-hire vs. a self-employed business ownerThe importance of tracking your time, setting boundaries, and stopping scope creep before it eats your profitThe “competence-confidence loop” that fuels your ability to raise rates, say no, and step into your CEO powerHow to reconnect with WHY you left corporate in the first place—and use that fire to fuel your boss mindsetIf you've been wondering how to stop playing small and finally embrace your role as the boss of your freelance business, you'll want to hit play on this one. I hope it'll flip the switch you've been waiting for.Sponsored by the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant SchoolAdmin work is getting automated—but marketing? That's in demand everywhere.

Making changes in your business is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming when everything seems important at once. In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe walk you through the PRIORITY Framework, a practical tool to help you decide which changes are worth your time, energy, and resources. From spotting critical survival moves to weighing risks, opportunities, and alignment with your vision, this framework will help you cut through the noise and focus on what really matters. If you've ever felt stuck staring at a never-ending list of “should-dos,” this conversation will show you how to turn it into a clear, strategic plan.Popular Questions and Answers From The EpisodeHow do I know which business changes to tackle first?Start with survival. If something threatens the health of your business, like a major client loss or a broken system, it automatically goes to the top of your list. Joe calls this the “Peril” step in the PRIORITY framework. Handle what keeps the doors open before anything else.What if I have a change in mind, but I don't have the skills or resources to pull it off?Then it's not a priority...yet. Implementation and resources are key filters in the framework. If you can't realistically execute the change now, put it on a “someday/maybe” list instead of draining energy and momentum.How do I avoid wasting time on changes that don't move my business forward?Ask whether the change creates real opportunity and aligns with your vision. Will it grow revenue, reduce stress, or bring you closer to your long-term goals? If it's just a shiny object, it might feel exciting, but it won't serve your bigger picture.

Freelancing may sound like freedom, but is it really? In this episode, Danielle and Eva bust some of the most common myths about working for yourself. They tackle misconceptions around work hours, client expectations and what it really means to “be your own boss.” Along the way they share honest insights about the stress levels freelancers face, why self-discipline matters more than you think and how networking and office politics still show up outside the 9-to-5. From setting boundaries to managing multiple clients this conversation is a must-listen for anyone living the freelance life or considering it.Be part of the conversation – follow us @ghostbosspodcast on Instagram!

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT—While it's not true that kids don't read, it may be true that adults aren't teaching kids to read. It's also true that today's children face issues that those of the past didn't. And the pandemic—there's that word again—impacted everyone in ways we're still figuring out, including kids. Perhaps especially kids.There are, amazingly, and encouragingly, many new magazines for children of all ages now. One of them is Anyway, a magazine for tweens founded by two mothers—and long-time friends—who grew up loving magazines and, yes, were worried about their kids' screen time. They also knew that tween issues weren't being addressed properly and that a root cause of some of them was a media landscape that pushed consumers, no matter the age, into silos—or communities—where they could go through life unchallenged.Go to the Anyway website and you are confronted with the slogan: “Growing up is hard. You can do it Anyway.“ This speaks to both kids and parents, another reality of a kids magazine that most magazines don't have to face: you have two very specific markets—kids and their parents—and your readership will eventually age out. Meaning the marketing challenges never end even while reader loyalty does. What does that mean for a media brand?—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.
