The Freelance Silence: How to Survive the Creative Rollercoaster

Описание: Are you working too hard and living too little? In this episode, we sit down with Mark from Catapult Films, an Advertising Art Director turned filmmaker, to discuss why "life experience" is the secret weapon of any high-ticket creative.

The "Horse & Prostitute" Lesson Mark reveals the colourful (and highly controversial) advice from his art tutor that changed his perspective on work forever. We explore why being a great Creative Problem Solver requires you to step away from the desk and "experience the world" to find the stories that actually resonate.

Navigating the Freelance Rollercoaster: We get raw about the "Freelance Silence." Mark opens up about the mental toll of quiet periods and the strategy he uses to stay creative when the phone isn't ringing. We discuss why Value Alignment is the only way to choose clients if you want a sustainable, long-term career.
