Summary
Diego Morales is thinking about making the leap into freelancing and wants to know what seasoned freelancers would do differently if they could start over. Preston and Meredith Cooley—founder of Page and Purpose and a copywriter-turned-mentor for teachers—share the honest, practical lessons that most "how to freelance" guides get completely wrong. From skipping the logo obsession to the slow-burn reality of building a side business, this episode is a candid look at what actually matters when you're starting out.
