🎧 podcasts
Freelancing explorer!
I struggle to listen to podcasts that are 20 minutes or longer. Could you recommend excellent podcasts that are 10-15 minutes? or that have chapters that I could jump to?
TIA

I'm really surfing the Freelancing forum here today, funny I stumbled upon your post. My reason for this post, my daughter loves a podcast and she wants me to listen to it, but I haven't because some of the podcasts are 2 hours long. I'm thinking who listens to two hour long podcasts??? I'm planning on doing a podcast with a target time around 25 minutes, as I like that for a drive to work, or while someone takes a lunch break.
If you don't mind me asking, when would you listen to a podcast? Downloaded for a drive? On a smart phone while doing some other task?

Recently I met a web designer named Chris Misterek.
He has a really great side project called the Self-Made Web Designer, and he read my recap of my last three year's freelancing.
He asked me to come on his podcast to talk about that journey and to dive deep into pricing your services and increasing your income as a freelancer.
To be honest, I go on a lot of podcasts and I don't end up sharing most of them. But Chris's show is different for two reasons:
- What we talked about is super focused to freelancers
- He did a fantastic job of producing the show to sound great
So, if you're interested, take a listen! We talk about:
- How I scaled up my hourly rate (and why you should ditch hourly)
- A few simple things that you can do to be successful as a freelancer
- How to use your long term vision to keep going when things get hard
- How to gradually get bigger name clients
- How to overcome fear and increase your rates
- How to price for happiness rather than value or market rate
- How a willingness to walk away is a key factor in increasing your income as a freelancer
- How to understand your true value as a freelancer
- How to understand what a client means when they say they have a certain budget
- The importance of your personal budget in being successful as a freelancer
- Why energy management is more important than time management

Hey folks! I wanted to share this week's episode of Creative Elements, speaking with Morgan Nield. Morgan specializes in Etsy and helping sellers build marketing systems for their shops. Her own Etsy shop did $600K+ in sales before shutting it down to move to digital products.
We even dive into Pinterest and how she utilizes a Facebook Group, so there's a lot to dig into here that I thought folks here may enjoy!
I'm back recommending another episode of Tropical MBA!
