Podcasts about freelancing

New pod and a *NEW BOOK* out today!  Kevin sits down with Daniel Ospina and Daniel Stringer from RnDAO to introduce their new book:The Network Firm: How Capital Allocation Changes in the Age of Blockchain and AI. They explore how the traditional theory of the firm is being transformed by lower coordination costs, AI-driven cognition, and blockchain-powered trust enabling a new era of open, fluid, network-native organizations. Together they break down how legacy bureaucratic structures dissolve when work becomes legible, global, and composable and why the next century of coordination will be shaped by networks, not firms.

Freelancing can be challenging, especially when clients expect ongoing work without additional compensation. In this episode, Preston and Chanda Coston dive deep into a common freelancer dilemma: how to handle clients who continuously ask for small free favors after a project is completed.

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.

In this episode, I'm answering all your career questions - from how to leave your corporate job and start freelancing, to building your network without feeling fake, to what to do if you've been laid off. I'll share my realistic advice on how long it actually takes to leave corporate, what it means to become work optional, and how to use your current skill set to build a business or side hustle that can eventually replace your 9-5 income. If you've been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or unsure how to pivot your career - this episode is for you.In this episode:

Freelancing offers freedom, but it can also bring financial uncertainty—especially when clients drag their feet on payments. In this episode, Preston and Chanda dive deep into a common freelancer nightmare: managing clients who consistently pay late while trying to maintain a healthy, stress-free business.

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.

Plongez dans les coulisses authentiques de l'entrepreneuriat indépendant avec Thomas Burbidge, qui partage sans filtre son expérience et ses apprentissages lors du lancement de sa nouvelle offre “48h Associé·e” en bêta-test.

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.

Tu enchaînes les apéros networking et tu te sens de plus en plus décalé avec tes vieux potes ?Depuis que tu es entrepreneur·e, tu ne parles plus le même langage, tu n'as plus les mêmes horaires, ni les mêmes ambitions.Alors, faut-il vraiment virer ses amis, changer de mec ou de meuf pour réussir en solo ?

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.

The 9–5 workday is disappearing. Faster than most people think.In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Brian Horwath and Arben Koliqi, founders of Blackrock Innovations, to talk about the future of work — and why traditional jobs are on the decline as AI and the gig economy take over.We dig into how technology, COVID, and remote work have completely rewritten what “a job” even means. From freelancers replacing full-time roles to AI reshaping how we measure productivity, this conversation explores how the global workforce is shifting from hours worked to value delivered.Brian and Arben also share why they believe 2034 will mark the official death of the 9–5, what skills will actually matter in the new economy, and how founders can prepare their businesses for a world where agility, creativity, and results matter more than time spent behind a desk.You'll learn: ✅ Why the 9–5 model is already breaking down ✅ How AI and automation will reshape jobs faster than anyone expects ✅ The difference between outsourcing, offshoring, and freelancing and why it matters ✅ How to stay relevant in a world that pays for outcomes, not effort ✅ Why the future belongs to creators, problem solvers, and specialistsIf you've been wondering “is the 9–5 really over?” or “how do I stay relevant in the AI era?” — this episode is your roadmap to what's coming next.Connect with Brian Horwath and Arben KoliqiGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-horwath-a5a3b11/Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arbenkoliqi/Guest Website: https://www.blackrockinnovations.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

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.”

Wouldn't it be nice if your business could just stay perfect forever: same clients, same income, same flow? Yeah… we wish! In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe get real about how to future-proof your business (and yourself) for the inevitable changes ahead. From spotting shifts in your industry to using AI and automation wisely, diversifying income streams, and planning for the long haul, this episode is your blueprint for staying resilient no matter what tomorrow throws your way.It's not about predicting the future, it's about being ready for it.What does it mean to future-proof your business as a solopreneur? Future-proofing is all about building resilience and adaptability into your business so you can thrive no matter what changes come your way. You can't predict every trend or challenge, but you can create systems, habits, and strategies that help you pivot quickly, like setting aside time to review what's shifting in your industry, automating key tasks, and staying curious about new tools and opportunities.How can I stay on top of trends without getting overwhelmed?Be intentional about what you consume. Set up Google Alerts for your niche, use AI tools to summarize relevant updates, and curate your social media feeds to focus only on accounts that bring you value. The goal isn't to chase every shiny object,it's to pay attention to the shifts that truly impact your clients, your market, or your workflow.What's one of the smartest ways to make your business more resilient?Diversify your income streams within your expertise. For example, if you're a coach, offer 1:1 sessions, but also create a digital course, downloadable resources, or a group program. That way, if one area slows down, another can pick up the slack. Bonus points if you layer in automation so some of those streams run while you're off the clock.

What happens when your biggest strength, helping others, starts draining your energy?In this empowering episode, returning guest Leah Marone, psychotherapist and author of Serial Fixer, joins Carly for a heart-to-heart about why solopreneurs often fall into “fixer mode.” You'll learn how to stop rescuing and start empowering, how to calm your inner critic, and how to set boundaries without guilt. If you've ever caught yourself saying “I'll just do it myself,” this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.FAQs From The EpisodeHow can solopreneurs tell if they're a “serial fixer”? If you constantly jump in to solve problems that aren't yours, feel drained after “helping,” or struggle to let others handle things, even small tasks, you might be in fixer mode. Leah calls this “micro codependency.” It's not about bad intentions—it's about overextending yourself in the name of helping.What's the difference between rescuing and empowering? Rescuing means taking ownership of someone else's problem; empowering means supporting them to find their own solution. Leah shares her favorite mantra: “Support, don't solve.” That small mindset shift gives people their own reps while freeing you from unnecessary emotional labor.How can solopreneurs set boundaries without feeling guilty? Leah explains that guilt often comes from your inner pleaser, the part of you that fears rejection or judgment. The fix? Recognize that this voice is trying to protect you. Appreciate its intention, but guide it gently toward balance. Sustainable boundaries come from understanding your internal drivers, not ignoring them.

You've got your solopreneur business humming: systems in place, clients happy, goals aligned...but there's one crucial piece most of us forget: our own well-being. In this episode, Carly and Joe get real about the not-so-glamorous (but absolutely essential) side of solopreneurship, balancing your business and your life. From scheduling workouts like meetings to curbing doomscrolling and finding your community, they unpack the habits that keep you sane and successful. Because when you are your business, taking care of yourself isn't optional, it's strategy.Q&As From The EpisodeHow can solopreneurs maintain work-life balance when their business depends entirely on them?It starts with designing your business around your life, not the other way around. Schedule movement like it's a client meeting, set clear boundaries for work hours, and implement repeatable systems so you're not constantly reinventing the wheel. Remember: you are the business—so maintaining your well-being is maintaining your productivity.What can solopreneurs do to combat isolation and loneliness?Working solo doesn't mean being alone. Join local meetups, online communities, or hobby groups to stay connected. Networking is also one of the most powerful growth tools for solopreneurs—you don't need a million clients, just meaningful relationships that keep both your business and your mindset thriving.How can solopreneurs avoid burnout and decision fatigue?Repetition and routines are your secret weapons. Create standard operating procedures (SOPs) for daily tasks, batch your decisions when possible, and celebrate your wins—big or small. Recognizing progress keeps your motivation high and prevents the constant “what's next?” pressure from draining your energy.
