Freelancing During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Stuart's Story (Episode 24)

What happens when a pandemic hits and you're furloughed from your job? For Stuart Tarn it meant taking advantage of some additional time and learning an entirely new skill. Stuart has been in his current job in the airline industry for nearly 17 years. He shares why he pursued copywriting, the ways his past experiences help his copywriting, and some of the mindset shifts he's had to make from full-time employee to freelancer.

Stuart, Nicki, and Kate also dig into why people think freelancing is risky, why transferable skills are so important for any career, and the importance of sending follow up emails to clients you pitch.
