How to Craft a Life & Career That Lights You Up (F*ck The Playbooks)

What happens if you take three struggling freelance marketers, lock them in a seventeenth century cottage, and don't let them live until we fix their businesses? In August, I rented an old cottage in rural Ireland and invited copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and book coach Vicky, three freelancers desperate to stand the fuck out. And over two days, I ripped everything apart, their offers, their messaging, their branding, their lead gen, to find what was really holding them back. This is the concept of a new YouTube channel that I'm launching. You can watch the first episode for free right now. It's half an hour long. It's supposed to be entertaining as well as practical. I hope you'll enjoy watching it. So please set half an hour aside to watch it around your morning coffee, breakfast, lunch break, or on the bus or at the gym, whatever. The link to access this new YouTube channel is in the episode show notes. I really, really appreciate you taking the time to watch it.

They have, like, they're like, I have, like, a million in the bank, and I just feel like it's not enough. I, like, I think what you're doing is great, and, like, I just, like, don't know what I would do. Like, I feel like I need to make at least $200 a year when I'm doing my own thing. For me, that was not it. I was fighting for, like, I needed to save myself from my own cynicism and doomed path that I was very certain I was on.
