This last couple of weeks, I've been back to being properly "freelancer" busy. Evenings and weekends have been predominantly taken over by work... and I kind of like it!

Now don't get me wrong, I've been through most of lockdown, but these last couple of weeks have been a step up in gears. 

So this week, on The My Journey Podcast, I thought I'd talk you through what I've been up to this last week or so. I mean, this is the place where I document my freelance journey after all.

Would love to know whether or not you enjoyed this?

In this episode of The My Journey Podcast, we try something a little bit different. We can't really ignore the elephant in the room (LOCKDOWN), so we try to give an alternative take on current events.

We each bring to the table two trends that have emerged during the pandemic and discuss whether we're fans of them as well as whether we think they're here to stay or we'll return to pre-COVID norms.

As we enter a second national lockdown, Tom and I look at how we'll be approaching the next 4 weeks. How does it differ for the two of us? One of us is an employee-facing furlough for a second time and the other a freelancer looking to grow his business.

Was there anything to be learnt from Lockdown 1.0 that we can use to our advantage this time around? Will we be goal setting or just taking it as it comes?

Hear our honest and personal insight in this, the latest episode of The My Journey Podcast.

To celebrate Episode 40 of The My Journey Podcast, I decided to take a look back over my two and a half year freelance career and share the top 3 lessons I've learnt along the way.

There's plenty of small things such as the importance of your self-assessment, buying a domain etc. that I've parked to one side. These are the more general, culture-side of things I wished I'd known and appreciated from the beginning.

So far, they've not had the best reception, but Stories are the newest talking point on LinkedIn.

Some people feel it's another step towards LinkedIn turning into Facebook. Others just don't feel the feature is up to scratch.

Comparisons are always going to be made with Instagram, but in this episode of The My Journey Podcast, I try to reason why they might not be so bad after all by focusing in on LinkedIn and the mistakes people are making when they criticise the feature.

As ever, I try to remain balanced, so I brought along some stats to help argue both sides of the debate.
